What brought you to Renegade Fitness in the first place?
After my 2nd baby, I was at the top of my weight and was not able to make any progress on my own. My general practitioner was no help and basically told me to go to weight watchers. Another doctor told me that I needed to have bariatric surgery or I would have diabetes in a year - I even met with a surgeon! A third doctor prescribed me Xanax and told me that I should go to church and find a good counselor. I was desperate and depressed to say the least. Somehow by a stroke of luck, I googled "nutritionist in Sylvania", and Jen popped up. I called and left a message and to my delight she called back in 5 minutes. I started with the 28-day kick start and two years later, I have had so much success it makes me cry. I could never thank Jen enough for her persistence and patience with me while I have learned so much. Jen and Chris are absolute pros.
What are your current goals?
I want to be the very BEST example I can be for my kids. I am so proud of the fact that I can keep up with them. My 5 year old asks me every day when she wakes up, "Are you already done with your workout?" Proud mom moment. I do have a scale number in mind but it's not as important as how my clothes fit and my happiness level. Another goal is to continue to live a balanced life where I can eat cake at a party or drink a beer and realize that is not "bad" and it's just part of my intake for the day and to adjust accordingly.
What kind of success have you had?
There had been a measurable amount of success. Since April 2017, I have lost about 45 pounds, a lot of inches and even better yet, gained a ton of muscle and confidence. I am still amazed at how much I can do in the gym (and on my Peloton at home!).
What is your favorite thing about Renegade Fitness?
Oh man, there are so many favorites but I think the supportive community is the best part. I have made a lot of friends, and the ultra positive environment keeps me coming back. We are truly a team! I love all the coaches!
Thank you Jen, Chris and my Renegade family!
