Read Leah's Entire Boot Camp Story HERE! 

"As part of my boot camp experience I learned that I could achieve my goals and lead a healthier life style.  I do not have to rely on old patterns of diet and exercise.  I also learned that I didn’t have to be perfect.  It was okay and necessary to indulge every once in a while as long as I had a good base of exercise and nutrition to lean on, which boot camp helped me to build.  The only drawback I’ve encountered is needing to buy new clothes each month.  This was necessary as I dropped from a size 14-16 in June to a size 6-8 in December.  But I don’t mind and I look forward to extra shopping in the upcoming months."

Our Summer 2009 Body Challenge Winner...Elissa Steinke lost nearly 17 lbs and 9% body fat in just 60 days!  

Here's what she had to say about her Boot Camp experience:

I am proud of my weight loss goals but I couldnt have done it without the accoutanbilty and the consistency of boot camp. I wasnt sure if I believed you in the beginning when you said it would work, but it clearly did.

Our Summer 2009 Body Challenge Runner-Up...Patti Delaney lost 10 lbs and 7.5% body fat in just 60 days! 

Here's what she had to say about her Boot Camp experience:

 “The entire "Boot Camp" process has worked for me. Although I think the "Accountability" was the biggest factor in my success…I learned that I can be very determined and focused.  I learned that I could lose weight without it feeling like torture.  I learned that I can eat healthy and not feel deprived of the junk food that I love so much.  I learned that with only a small daily time commitment I could reap huge benefits; physically, mentally, and emotionally.  The gains I have made have been great for my self-esteem and my overall well being.  I haven't felt this good in years.  I am feeling better as a wife and mother.  I have always been athletic - but this process has changed my perspective of exercise and nutrition.  I am so pumped and enthusiastic about this, I love to talk about it to friends and family…After 12 weeks I have dropped 2 sizes...I am down to a size 4!  I can't remember when, if ever, I was a size 4.  I've been a member of gyms for years and I even had a personal trainer for a year leading up to my wedding back in 2003 - even though I was the same weight then...this is the best shape I've ever been in.”  

-Joanne has since gone on to run her first 5K!  Congratulations!!!

Here's what she had to say about her Boot Camp experience:

“I learned SO much through attending Boot Camp and continuously e-mailing Chris with questions about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING pertaining to exercise and nutrition.  Also, his daily assignments kept me on track and focused.  I feel the biggest factor in my weight loss was a combination of nutrition, exercise, and accountability.  But I would have to say nutrition stands above the others since I feel that was what I had to change the most.  I wouldn’t say that I was ever a really bad eater, but I learned the importance of eating healthier and selecting better choices for snacks.  I also learned a lot about exercise and am pleased I don’t have to spend countless hours in a gym to see results!  I enjoyed attending class and working out with the others  supporting each other, pushing each other, but knowing I can do 20-30 minutes a day at home with little to no equipment is wonderful!  I also learned that when I put my mind to it, with a little time and effort, I was able to accomplish my goals! Right now I am still in awe of the success I have achieved”
