Ronda lost 50lbs and dropped 18 Inches!!

When a lot of people would have said “It’s too late for me” and given up, Ronda was just getting started! This motorcycle-riding grandmother dropped 50lbs and 18 inches (without dieting). Ronda told me about how arthritis and pain in her feet made it painful to even walk across the room. When people would ask her what was wrong, she would say “I guess I’m just getting old” “Before lifestyle 180 I was 50 pounds overweight, my body hurt, my feet hurt, my mental attitude was not good, I dieted all the time only to gain the weight back plus…

Bobbie Rae is living her best life again!

These are a couple of my favorite photos of Bobbie Rae. We’ve been working together in my program Lifestyle-180. She’s loving herself, feeling confident, and enjoying life, and a freedom to appreciate herself exactly as she is, in this moment. She wasn’t always able to do this. Bobbie Rae has always been a talented performer and creative artist, outgoing and the life of the party. She’s a devoted, loving wife and mother, but underneath this, she struggled with a sense of self-worth, and had a very unhealthy relationship with food. She had tried numerous diets and cleanses, only to find…

“I see the beauty in who I am, the weight loss is just a bonus!” (Brittney lost 15lbs and 8″ in 3 months!)

“I didn’t expect a weight-loss program to help me deal with issues of self-worth, loving myself, and seeing the beauty in who I am, but it did! And that’s worth even more than just losing some pounds. (the weight loss is a bonus, really) This program has really changed my life, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is truly ready and desiring something better for themselves.” I love the sense of joy and playfulness captured in this photo of Brittney jumping. (And then seeing her do some hilarious things like play the ukelele with her foot 😄) It’s…

Another one of my “Silver Superstars”, Linda is another grandmother who, at 61, said “I’m tired of getting old, so I’m going to do something about it!” Linda rocked Lifestyle-180, dropping 22lbs and 16 inches!  She’s quite proud of her awesome legs!

WADE DROPPED 52LBS AND GOT ABS

2.5 Years ago, I was finishing my first year apprenticeship at College, and at that age of 36, with the college lifestyle of beer and pub food after class, it didn’t take long to be tipping the scale near 240lbs. When I got back to work I realized that I was holding my breath as I was trying to tie my boots in the morning. Things needed to change! Working with Coach Jon was by far the most important thing I’ve ever done to support my goal. It started out with just wanting to lose weight.  I met Jon a few…

JO HAD “QUITE A HABIT” OF SNACKING

I reached out to Coach Jon because, though I was regularly going to the gym, I wasn’t seeing the results in the mirror that showed the work I was putting in at the gym.  Nutrition felt confusing, I didn’t know what to eat, or when, having heard so many conflicting ideas. The first thing that surprised me was how much support I got.  Maybe I was expecting someone to yell at me and slap the cookies out of my hand.  Over time, as I gained confidence, I realized that the baby steps that I was taking, they were starting to…

ELYSE LOST 75LBS, GAINED HER LIFE BACK

I started working with Coach Jon because I wanted to learn about nutrition.  I felt overwhelmed by the amount of information out there, I tried so many things, and couldn’t seem to stick to anything.  I ended up feeling like I didn’t know what to do. Working with Coach Jon has taught me that patience is important on this journey, it has ups and downs. The best chance for success is to implement simple, healthy habits that aren’t so restrictive that they make me want to quit.  He has supported me through some really tough times and kept me going when I…

HOW I LOST 100LBS WITHOUT COUNTING CALORIES

Why I almost never count calories anymore. (And what I do instead, to maintain my 100+lbs weight loss). When I first started my weight loss journey, I used to love counting calories. It gave me a sense of control. I’m a former analytical researcher, so I loved data, numbers and spreadsheets. But, over time, it started to become an obsession. It started to impede my enjoyment of real life. Food became about numbers, instead of meals with friends and family. What happened?  And what did I do differently? When I couldn’t count calories, I would become anxious. If I couldn’t…
