Dieting And Fitness Can Cause Extreme Weight Loss
A lot of people want to get on some type of fad diet or take some type of diet pill to help them burn fat and get extreme weight loss. Contrary to popular belief, those types of things do not work and are very dangerous for your health.
I think the problem is most people just can't fathom that having a good weight loss plan with proper dieting and fitness can produce extraordinary results. I never could understand it?
Well, if you think you need fad diets and diet pills and natural dieting and fitness won't work.....here's proof that it does:
Before
After
How do she get such extreme weight loss? You guessed it.....natural dieting and fitness!
Here's her story:
Before:
Age: 22
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 235 lbs
Body Fat: 39%
Pants Size: 22
After:
Age: 23
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 142 lbs
Body Fat: 6%
Pants Size: 3
Why She Got Started:
I was tired of being fat. There was no real one moment to lose weight. I made up my mind after seeing my mom and sister go through a fitness boot camp that if they could do it, I could do it. Later I joined the Extreme Makeover program with that trainer and she helped me lose 70 pounds in three months!
During that time I learned all about bodybuilding. I learned how they ate, worked out, and why they are so darn picky about food. After that weight loss I gained a few pounds back and made up my mind to drop some poundage.
I went into a supplement store by my gym and asked if there was anything new and exciting. The guy at the desk quickly reminded me of everything I had learned a few months back. It was how you ate and how you worked out. It was a lifestyle. He wrote up a quick diet for me and in no time I was dropping pounds! Eventually he suggested I compete in figure.
How She Did It:
After making up my mind to compete I hunted down a coach on Bodybuilding.com. I found Sean Calder on BodySpace. Shortly after he was my coach he had me on a diet and supplementation routine that I stuck to. Every time I had a question he was there to answer it.
Since I had the goal to compete in my mind it kept me motivated to stick with the diet and exercise. Eventually I began to love working out and would get excited about my oatmeal in the morning.
On October 18th I placed first in my height class (Figure Tall) at the Northwest Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships in Olympia Washington! It was awesome!

Exercise Plan:

I go to failure on the last rep while keeping perfect form. I don't pause at the beginning or end of each rep.
Her Suggestions To Others:
Here are a few tips I have learned on my journey for weight loss:
* Get a huge lunchbox.
* Cook everything in the morning or the day before.
* Just carry the gallon of water. Don't worry about the looks. It will help you know how much you have left to drink.
* Call hotels before you get there and ask if they have refrigerators or microwaves in the room. If not, bring a foreman grill and one of those refrigerators you can plug into your car. I have a fridge in the back of my car that can plug into wall outlets.
