I started my weight loss journey in June of 2010 after having my third child. It was time to get healthy and get in shape. I joined Weight Watchers and successfully lost about 50 pounds during the first year. I realized I needed to add in more exercise. I made excuses….I had 3 kids. I had a full time job. I was getting ready to go back to school to get my master’s degree. I didn’t have time. BUT I knew it was what I had to do.]]>Deanna PellumResults2012-05-03T19:41:52-05:00http://chixintraining.com/results/files/eea06acdcadfa4f16f94e7d4d362a049-9.html#unique-entry-id-9http://chixintraining.com/results/files/eea06acdcadfa4f16f94e7d4d362a049-9.html#unique-entry-id-9

My fitness journey began June 2011, at this point I decided it was time to lose weight and get in shape. This was the start to something that was inspiring, motivational and even a little addictive! After the first few camps and learning about food, fitness and how to look at the scripture in a whole new way, I knew this was the best camp for me. I now love working out at 5am!]]>Deanne HutchisonResults2011-05-03T21:51:12-05:00http://chixintraining.com/results/files/9537e7b3e4e2092bb4d6969940be9138-8.html#unique-entry-id-8http://chixintraining.com/results/files/9537e7b3e4e2092bb4d6969940be9138-8.html#unique-entry-id-8

My transformation began with "holiday blitz" bootcamp 2009. At that time I had no idea what a positive, life changing journey I was about to begin, not to mention the remarkable group of women and amazing friendships that would be formed.

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!

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.

zz78f56b45copyMy 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. ]]>Jim FrancisResults2009-03-24T15:19:03-05:00http://chixintraining.com/results/files/e568f80400503cef7bec14d387f5dbe1-2.html#unique-entry-id-2http://chixintraining.com/results/files/e568f80400503cef7bec14d387f5dbe1-2.html#unique-entry-id-2

UPDATE: 11/2009 - 114lbs lost! 

11/2009 - 114lbs lost!
Just eighteen short months ago I weighed 314 lbs. I was on 4 different medications for blood pressure and high cholesterol. I took 5-6 pepcid a day for acid reflux. I was on a breathing machine for sleep apnea and hadn’t had a good night sleep in years. Three or four times a year I would go almost completely lame because of gout and arthritis in my ankles. Combine all this with a high pressure job, copious amounts of alcohol and sleeping pills just to get through the night, and what you have is a human train wreck. I was in my early forties in a life threatening situation and saw no way out of the downward spiral.

That’s when I hooked up with the Chix in Training!

Cindy began Big Loser II in September 07. After overcoming her fear of someone else seeing the number on the scale, she set out to conquer her goal. She did very well and participated in Big Loser III Tuscola. She said the accountability of the weekly weigh in challenged her to maintain a loss each and every week. Cindy has also participated in the last three Boot Camps. Boot camp confirmed for her that exercise can be fun! Cindy's next goal is completing the Champaign half marathon in April. We are proud to be a part of Cindy's transformation!

Sheri 11-2008

I was looking back in my scrapbook at old newspaper clippings of days in high school when as an athlete I used to run track, one clipping says “Little Places 1st in 300 Meter Hurdles at the Triangular Meet”. Looking back on that I never thought that I would be 273 pounds and out of shape at the age of 39.
