Chino Hills Fit Body changed my life.
Before CHFBBC, I was on "this diet plan, that diet, starvation mode, binge exercise, etc." then always would relapse. If I lost 10-15 pounds with those plans, I would gain 20-30 during the relapse.
I was at my skinniest (NOT healthiest) 4 years ago at 108 pounds (I'm 5'5.5" BTW), but was extremely malnourished and consumed energy pills/drinks daily to get by. My diet consisted of instant foods, energy drinks, and alcohol. Although, people have told me I looked great, I definitely did not FEEL great, nor was I healthy AT ALL.
I started having complications with my health and cut out all the fast, cheap, instant, unhealthy foods from my diet, but I also stopped going to the gym for about 2-3 years. Over that period of time, I gained 40+ pounds. I was so embarrassed that I stopped going out with friends and just stayed home, using what ever excuse I could to avoid being seen.
Last June (2013) I purchased a deal for Chino Hills Fit Body Boot Camp, but waited until the last minute to make an appointment and start the program. I officially started my trial session in late August 2013. In the beginning, I lost 10-12 pounds but would fluctuate back and forth depending on my attendance and because I wasn't watching what I ate and how I ate. Although I cut out fast food, I was still eating heavily, so I joined Cara in her 6-week program, which really opened my eyes to making healthy food substitutions yet maintaining great taste.
Healthy eating coupled with regular exercise (3-4x week) was really what changed my physique and emotional well-being. I have more energy, I am stronger than I was ever before, and I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life. NOT the frail, skinny, anorexic look, but truly something I am proud of. And I'm not stopping here! I plan to continue living a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly to maintain and tone what I have worked so hard for. But honestly, I could not have done it without the support from my fellow fit body peeps and the motivation and encouragement from all the wonderful trainers at CHFBBC. My friends and family ask me why I drive so far just to "gym" and that I could go to any other "gym" and get the same results, but I beg to disagree. The atmosphere, the workouts, the awesome programs that Cara and John have to offer, are all reasons but especially the wonderful people I've met and share progress with is why I am willing to make the 40 minute drive to the "gym."
Currently, I am 125-130 pounds (down 15-20 solid pounds since last August), I'm down 9% body fat from when I had my physical exam this time last year, and still continuing to tone down and gain healthy lean muscle. I went from a size 8/10 (30/31) pants to 2/4 (26/27) in less than a year! That's absolutely amazing! My friends and family all notice the difference and I feel like I am always surging with positive energy :) I am so happy I took that leap of faith and went to that first boot camp class. I only wish I had started sooner!
