Check out what these three winners say about the class after doing it for just 90 days: |
"It seems I have struggled with my weight daily. No matter what the number on the scale or the size of my pants, I never seem satisfied. On one hand, I think this is a good quality since I’m always striving for a better, healthier me. On the other hand, never being satisfied with me can cause issues as well. I get angry with myself for eating something I shouldn’t have. So, rather than worry about numbers, I want to concentrate on how I feel. We all fall off the wagon from time to time, but getting back on is what counts. Slowly, but surely. I have found my inner competition in me again, by challenging myself to work harder during class and trying to outdo my personal best. I have conviction behind my voice when I clarify this is my new lifestyle, and not just a diet plan. I have not wanted to skip any workouts. Being in the contest made me even more aware of the food and drink I chose to consume. I did choose not to consume as much alcohol, having one beer or glass of wine instead of having two or three when out with friends. Portions and calories did and do matter with food. After 12 weeks, I am seeing a greater difference in my physique that I had expected. My clothes have been fitting more loosely. I have bought clothes in smaller sizes. I’ve also noticed an improvement in my muscle tone. I can see definition in muscles that I haven’t seen in a long time! Even as this contest comes to an end, I am still striving for a personal best. Changes have been made to work on my eating habits and workouts. I was able to make some great habits in regards to what I’m eating and portions. I am excited to keep this journey going and keep progressing! I am 44 years young!" - Chris, Allen Park, Michigan, 44 |

"I was very upset with the way I looked at the beginning of the 12 week transformation class. I put on my shorts (that I wore last year) and realized just how tight they were. Not only could I not sit in them comfortably, I had a “muffin top”. I couldn’t wait for my daughter to take my “before” picture so I could take those tight clothes off! I was DETERMINED to lose this and began to look at the contest as a huge motivator. Winning the contest was not important to me, fitting into my clothes from last summer was! The day I put on those clothes and was forced to look at myself in a picture I knew that something had to change. When starting the 12 week transformation contest, I decided to take measurements of all of me (instead of just my waist). I know that I tend to lose weight from my face down and my thighs (the hardest to thin) are the last to go. My only regret is that I did not measure my “behind” because I know that I lost quite a bit of that as my jeans fit me completely different in that area now. The transformation contest started at the same time as Lent so the diet part was pretty easy for me as I gave up flour and sugar at this time. My basic diet consisted of oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, tuna fish, chicken and pork rice and a daily latte made with Splenda and soy milk. The first few weeks I did not have a weight loss. Losing weight is difficult for me so I was focusing more on strengthening my body and feeling “healthy”. Around the 3rd week I lost a couple pounds and that kept me motivated to continue on. After Lent was over I had a two day relapse and ate a bagel and some pasta. I felt horrible (physically). It is amazing how much better the body feels when eating without the flour and sugar. I didn’t gain any weight this week, but I felt physically tired and drained. I didn’t follow an exact program after this, I ate normal (limiting carbs) and drank a lot of water. I decided to not weigh myself every week, because I began to get discouraged and didn’t want to sabotage my efforts. Watching the other ladies in the class (but only knowing one other person in the Contest) gave me motivation as well. It is amazing to see how much stronger people become after attending the class on a weekly basis. I found myself trying to do the more advanced moves and I could actually do them! Every day I left the class I felt stronger, thinner and as odd as it sounds, taller. I began to have more confidence in myself. I was so proud when I began to do the more advanced moves and for all of my efforts in and out of the class. Through all of my years of different exercising, I have never found a class that works different muscles and makes me feel like this one. I went into this contest not as a contest, but as a goal for myself. I have an obsessive personality and I usually jump into whatever I do full force without thought. I wanted to do “my personal best” for 12 weeks. Knowing the time table and that I had a friend doing it as well made it a goal for me to follow it through to the end. I didn’t want to end the contest saying “I could have done better.” Although I didn’t lose the weight I wanted to lose, and I have more to go, the way I feel right now is amazing. I didn’t expect to lose as many inches as I did. I had the expectation that because I had been working out for a year (longer than that in the gym) that the weight would just melt off me. I have more confidence and I feel stronger as a result of this 12 week commitment. My shorts fit me, I don’t have that “muffin top”! My “before” tank top was too big and so I had to wear another one in my after picture. Other people have commented on my weight loss (which really is more muscle building than loss I feel) and that makes me feel good. I didn’t want to lose weight in my face or my chest (which I did both) but that’s okay because I knew on May 29th when the contest ended I truly did my personal best. I am not done with my transformation by any means. I want to continue and strengthen. I want to do full body push ups and hold the plank for the entire time. I will take a week off, re-group and begin another 12 weeks on my own while attending Mike’s classes and continuing to get stronger and stay healthy. With determination a person can do anything." - Tina, Allen Park, Michigan, 42 |

Over the past 12 weeks I was committed to making a lifestyle change. I was ready to make a body and diet transformation. On March 7th, the beginning of this transformation I weighed 148 pounds and had a waist measurement of 35. I felt heavy, out of shape, and had low energy. I made an exercise and diet plan to help get my body ready for summer. My exercise plan prior to this contest was running or going to the gym. I never really pushed myself too hard or too far. I also thought that if I didn’t have an hour to workout there was no point in doing it at all. But, I was ready to change that. So my new fitness plan was to take the Lean Body Fat Loss class twice a week and add two other workouts throughout the week. I wanted to try for 4 hours of exercise a week. Of course, this plan was difficult for me at first. Especially the Lean Body Fat Loss class! I couldn’t do a pushup at the beginning. I was always doing the beginner options. But as the weeks went by it got easier and I was able to push myself further. I am amazed how much stronger and tighter I feel. I look forward to going to class now. I look forward to seeing what I am able to do week after week. And I never leave without being covered in sweat and feeling like I worked hard. My diet plan was a bit harder for me. I started off counting calories. Of course this plan works but I felt like it was working slowly and I wasn’t losing weight in the areas I really wanted. I really wanted to lose belly fat. So, I decided to give a low-carb diet a try. I always avoided low-carb because I love my carbs! I thought it would be too hard. Of course the few first days were hard, but I really didn’t find it to be too difficult. In fact, once I was really into this diet I felt better. I never felt heavy or bloated after I ate like I did when I would eat a carb heavy meal. I found that I had much more energy and felt great. Then of course there is the fact that a low-carb diet helps belly fat come off much faster! These past 12 weeks have really helped me kick off a lifestyle change. I really feel that this is something I am going to stick with. This is only the beginning. - Abby, Allen Park, Michigan, 26 |
