Jody at 171 lbs
Today I wanted to highlight a mom who has made an amazing transformation. I met jody less than a year ago, she was very bubbly and had tons of energy, but she was very frustrated with how her body looked after giving birth to 5 kids. She would always tell me, “Dustin, you need to get rid of this.” (She would point to her stomach and butt area)
She was like nearly every mom I meet, who gave, gave, and gave to her kids, but forgot, or chose not to take care of herself. She started coming to MamaTone and doing what it took to get there despite taking care of her small kids. Jody worked out extremely hard during last spring and started to see some good progress, but then summer came and she continued to workout well, but developed the attitude, “I am working out hard so it doesn’t matter what I eat.” This is a common mistake that many people make when trying to lose weight, they believe that exercise will burn so huge amount of calories and eating doesn’t matter. WRONG! Jody got stronger and fitter during the summer, but they weight didn’t come off nearly as fast. I then told her she needs to take it to the next level and get serious about her eating. She took the advice and began making separate meals for herself and preparing meals in advance. When she did this it was amazing how fast the weight came off. Literally every week I saw her she looked smaller.
So here is her story in her own words!
“When I went into deliver my 5th child I weighed 180lbs (I’m
Jody at 124!
5’3″). I know I know, I had a baby in my body, but it was the most I had ever weighed…even more than when I was pregnant with my twins! For whatever reason, and I’m sure I could come up with a ton of them, the weight was NOT coming off. By the time my baby was about 11 months old, and I weighed close to 170, I was frustrated and tired of not fitting back into my prebaby clothes (or any clothes in my closet for that matter). I accidentally ran across Dustin on Craigslist and his MamaTone class sounded intriguing. I met with him before signing up, took the complimentary class, and I was hooked! It wasn’t doing the same thing over and over again, but the perfect mix of cardio and weights (something I had never done before). The challenge was not only refreshing but most importantly, rewarding! Within a short period of time, my husband and I were noticing a difference, and my shame and embarrassment was melting away, literally! Dustin has always been extremely professional, comfortable, and encouraging. He’s the only person who has ever taken the time to show me how to do the exercises correctly, check up on me, push me, and get me to where I want to be. After 4 months of MamaTone classes, I lost 30 pounds and met my goal weight for October. Since then, I’ve lost another 10+ pounds while taking his Bootcamp classes.
