30 Day Weight Loss Challenge- Online

 Below are the amazing results from our 30-day weight loss challenge in August.  I am proud of each and every one of them.  It was a challenge with great rewards.  I trained each group online twice a week for 50 minutes.  That was the constant element in each group.  

The variables were in the food plan.  In Group A, they followed my detailed food plan for the month.  The cost was extra but the food plan was ready and all the clients had to do was plan, cook and eat accordingly.  Everyone maintained a food journal, which I closely monitored.  In Group B, they had a simple list of foods to choose from and a basic food plan.  They had to determine what foods to eat from the list.  I only asked them to write a food journal if they were confused or unsure of the program.   Group C only followed my training and maintained their current food plan. 

Check out the results:

In 30 days, I asked them to be realistic and accept this challenge.  It wasn’t going to be easy as processed foods, sugar and sugar substitutes; alcohol and soda beverages were going to be eliminated.   That was the tough part of the challenge.  

Online training was the easy part.  Clients worked out in the convenience of their home.   All you needed was space to workout, internet connection for Skype and a computer, laptop or iPad.  We scheduled all the sessions before the program started so the clients were focused and had a plan for the fitness goals.  Each client determined his or her personal and fitness goal.    For example, one client wanted to improve quality of life and flexibility.    Another client wanted to lose weight in the waist area.   The training programs were focused on each of their fitness goals.   The results are great!  I am pleased and clients are happy.   This training was so simple and easy.  Everyone had success with on line training.

What fun would this 30-day challenge be if you didn’t reward yourself?  Right?  Before the program started, I asked every one to write down a reward.  One client bought a new swimsuit; another bought a new workout outfit.   All fun and no play makes for a boring life.  Success comes with taking a few risks and being out of your comfort level.  

Thank you everyone who participated in the first All About You.. 30 Day Weightloss Challenge.  I am proud of each and everyone of you.  The hard work paid off!  Julie B

Thank you everyone who donated to MS and for supported my team as week climbed to the top of 30 Rock on Sunday March 3rd, 2013.  It was a great time and we raised almost 9K.  I am so proud of Sandy who raised more than $3K.  My Co-Captain was the fastest and improved her time from last year. Yay! My new climbers were strong and successful.  Yay!! Everyone made it to the top but weather was chilly so we quickly returned to the bottom to celebrate.  Yipee Yay! 

Moments before we start climbing the stairs, I was asked about the orange ribbons again.  I kindly explained the "cure" shape and I made these in orange for it’s the color that represents MS.  She proceeds to tell me that she has had MS for 30 plus years and appreciates all the hard work we are doing today.  Quickly I responded with gratitude and gave her one of my ribbons to wear.  She kindly thanked me with soft tears in her eyes.  (Picture to the left) My team watched me and was more than ready to conquer 66 flights.  

I am proud of everyone and what we accomplished.  You couldn’t have done it with out each and every one of you.  And yes, that is including Heidi who came to cheer for us, take pictures and hold our goodies.   Thank you teammates and donors for your support and for making this event successful.  - Julie
