My fitness journey began officially March 2008 when I went to the doctor I was 42 years old and weighed 240lbs (although I have struggled all my life with fighting the battle of the bulge)-now I know you can’t believe I would tell my weight. Believe me I thought long and hard and prayed about putting that number out there, but I want those of you wondering if you can do this-you can- or if it’s too late ---it’s not!

My Fitness journey began in 2006 when I entered Villa Grove’s Biggest Loser. I had been attending Rebekah’s aerobic classes occasionally but a contest got me excited about losing weight. I kept the weight off for a little while but fell back into comfort eating and put a lot of my weight back on. I found myself almost back to square one. I heard about Tish and Rebekah’s new boot camp but 5:00 a.m. in the morning? UGH!

My quest for fitness and weight loss started in January 2008 during the Tuscola’s Biggest Loser Competition. I was very reluctant to sign up and asked a friend to join me. She declined, so I decided to go at it alone after some constant persuasion from my youngest daughter. Prior to signing up I would try to monitor my food intake and used walking as my primary means of exercise. During the competition I participated in Rebekah’s kickboxing classes held in Tuscola and Villa Grove. The first few classes I could barely keep up and it was hard to complete the hour long sessions. Each week it became easier and I found myself looking forward to workouts because of the results I was seeing. Read More...

Dear Chix,
My husband and I started the Chix program(modified for old-timers) less than thirteen weeks ago. We each have lost twenty odd pounds and feel more fit than ever. My blood work is fine and I have had a problem with cholesterol, high blood pressure and Gerds disease. All of these conditions have improved and the goal is to be pill free in a year or two. My goal is to lose another fifty pounds. My husband wants to lose another twenty pounds and maintain a 180lb. weight.
