Melissa participated in the last Strength & Beauty session and saw amazing results in just 4 weeks! She lost 5 lbs, 2% body fat, and inches all over including over an inch in her waist and hips. Melissa proves that dedication and hard work yields major results! 4 weeks was just the beginning of her journey toward a more healthy lifestyle and I can’t wait to see how she continues to progress. 

“I signed up for Strength & Beauty mostly just to see if I could do it.  My husband is enrolled in a Relentless class and he encouraged me to try S&B.  Although I considered myself a relatively healthy person, I had never tried a very restrictive diet and had never been much of an athlete.  But when I threw my back out recently during a move to a new house, I knew I needed to get stronger.  So my mantra for the duration of the challenge became: Strengthen. Tone. Stick with it!

I learned a lot from taking on this challenge.  First, I learned that I’m capable of sticking with something for 28 days (with the exception of my sister’s bachelorette party weekend, during which I completely fell off the wagon…and got right back on again when it was over).  Second, I learned that there will always be an excuse not to work out or eat right.  Always.  You just have to keep your eye on the prize and choose wisely.  Third, I learned I wasn’t as healthy as I thought I was and that what you eat really does make a difference. 

My goal wasn’t weight loss, but I lost pounds and inches.  The results were almost immediate in the way my clothes fit.  I think I can see a muscle in my arm that I didn’t know existed.  I can actually do a push up!  The workouts were tough but I could feel myself getting stronger as they went on.  My husband was a champ to eat Paleo along with me.  Coach Lauren was encouraging and great!

I’m now enrolled in a Relentless class and I know I couldn’t have done it without S&B!  I would recommend this challenge to anyone ready to make a big lifestyle change.  If I can do it, trust me, you can too!”
