Fat Loss Collective
You're tired of it.
The constant thought spiral of what to eat and which "plan" would be right for you.
You're tired of having obsessive thoughts and behavior patterns.
Or wondering why things never seem to work and you keep circling back to the same starting point.
Mostly you're tired of it because you've done this your entire life.
I know this is true because this was me. Since I can remember I have had obsessive thoughts about food, exercise and really tried my hardest to be the smallest and skinniest version of myself.
To no one's surprise, it never made me happy.
It always left me searching for more.........
THEN
I approached 40 and everything my clients and friends told me would happen, did happen. My knees decided they were done (3 surgeries later), I gained 20 lbs, I had to rewire my identity around being an athlete and I had to come face to face with my own thoughts and patterns around food.
I made a decision that I was not going to be an 80 year old woman who was still focused on my size or every ounce of food I ate.
I decided I was finally ready to take the principles of food, nutritional periodization, fat loss science and metabolism and behavior change psychology and I was going to figure this out for myself.
Today, I am the healthiest version of myself (mentally) and mostly physically. I'm still rebuilding these knees but they are on the journey with me. I'm not the skinniest or smallest I've ever been and I think that's the point.
The Fat Loss Collective
If you're ready to ditch the all or nothing mentality, become honest with yourself and make real changes to your mindset and behavior around food and exercise, join us for the Fat Loss Collective.
This 12 week group coaching experience will be centered around 5 pillars:
- Education - you will learn the foundation of food (macros, micros and HOW to track food)
- Behavior - you will bring honesty to your behaviors around food and exercise so you can figure out how this fits into your lifestyle and preferences
- Mindset - you will be faced with your own personal challenges and roadblocks but will be in a supporting environment to get through them
- Fat Loss - you will have the option to be on a fat loss journey and I will guide you through the steps along the way
- Fun - this process will be infused with lightheartedness and fun.
I also believe it's important to do this work together in a group. We can learn so much from other people and their experiences.
Why work with me?
Before I share the fancy schmancy professional reasons, I want to share a few personal reasons.
I remember being 12 years old on Weight Watchers and I would hide in the back closet and eat Snackwell's cookies out of the box while no one was watching. Because I truly believed if you ate food and didn't measure it, it didn't count.
I was in college and obsessively weighing myself every single day and the number on the scale truly dictated the kind of day I had and the respect (or lack thereof) I had for myself.
During that same time period in college I ran myself ragged (literally, by running marathons) to avoid gaining weight.
In my 20's I ate cake out of the container in my dark kitchen when no one could see me and it wouldn't count.
In my early 30's I thought low carb was the way to go even though I was training for endurance events and needed fuel. I also did intermittent fasting at the time.
And finally in my 40's I am allowing my body to heal. I am nourishing it with food, paying close attention to my health and creating a strong body that will hopefully carry me for decades to come.
When I say I understand what you're going through, I really mean it.
In addition to my personal experience, I have been working with clients for 20 years. I started as a personal trainer (still do that today) and then I added a Master's degree in counseling and psychotherapy.
In my work, I bring together mental, emotional and physical health. We will be approaching your health and fat loss goals with a full and holistic life approach.
There will be no detox teas or or liver cleanses. It will be real life work centered around your mindset, psychology, behavior and education.
12 Week Group Coaching
This group coaching experience is very hands on and involves weekly coaching calls (yes, they will be recorded and sent out).
The calls will be divided into two sections: education and then question/answer/discussion. The goal will be to integrate your learning into your every day life.
Month 1 - Food Science and Tracking Education
Learn accurate portion sizes, what macros are and how to track food.
Month 2 - Principles of Fat Loss and Nutritional Periodization
Understand how to do a deficit for fat loss and transition into maintenance (where we should spend most of our life).
Month 3 - Behavior and Mindset Changes
Creating long lasting change starts with your mindset and your daily behaviors. We will create consistency and flexibility.
We will meet Monday evenings 6:3pm CST and the calls are 90 minutes.
Start date - April 6th
Cost - $175/month, $525 total (can be paid monthly or in full)
If you want to add 1-1 coaching to your program, you can add 30 minute sessions ($99/session) to your experience.
You don't have to go through the mind games and the thought spirals for the rest of your life. It's time to learn the nutrition foundations paired with some deep behavior and mindset work.
I don't know about you but I want to enjoy cookies and baked goods without guilt and shame. I desire to have ease around food and a satisfaction with my body.
Let's do this together.
