Swathi Shares Her Success Story

Swathi has been with us over the past 3 months, and unfortunately for us her job is moving her up into the great white north of Canada. We are sad to see her go, but happy we get to share her success story. Keep up the great work Swathi, and best wishes on the new position.

“Hi Dean,

I was not able to make it yesterday and today due to the packing and all other stuff going on.

I wanted to THANK YOU for the huge transition GET FIT NH brought in me.

I had severe back pain after my baby was born, but after I joined GET FIT NH I never had the pain.

Also, your emails helped me in changing the way I eat, which made a huge difference. I lost 10 lbs after I joined GET FIT NH.

I hate to leave GET FIT NH, but unfortunately I have no other option.

Please convey my THANKS to Erin, CJ and Nancy.

GET FIT NH ROCKS.

Thanks,

Swathi”

Lori Gets In On The Action

How’s this for the incredible shrinking woman? Lori sends us her contest entry.

Sassy attitude?

You Lori?

Keep up the great work, eh! 🙂

“I started with GetFitNH 10 months ago and I have gone from size XL to M!! Along with alot less fabric,  I have shed 37.5 lbs. Even my socks have taken in a sassier attitude!!

Thanks so much GetFitNH, Coach Dean and Coach Erin!” – Lori Boucher-Nichol (8:30 Concord)

Gretchen Pipes Up With Her Entry

Here is Gretchen’s entry, told and sold only as Gretchen could! 🙂

Love you too Gretch!

It’s not to late to get your contest entry in.

Make It Happen!

“GetFitNH Booty: I’m going on 4 years! 4 Shirts!

Heres my story:

Blue XXL = FAT Girl hiding from Life!
Red XL = BIG Girl with a little muscle thrown in and a little Happier.
Peach XL = BIG girl with a lot more muscle and confidence to wear a little more form fitting clothes.
Black L = BULKY & BRAUNY girl form fitting, w/no sleeves, you can see MUSCLE now!

So when people ask me how long I’ve been going to Bootcamp and I say 4 years, I wonder if they are secretly sneering ‘and you look like that?’ (sorry the FAT girl still shows her ugly face now and then) I think, I should look like Nancy by now… if only she would make my meals and put the foods i’m suposed to eat in front of me… oh AND be my bouncer when confronted with NO foods 😉 But I OWN IT, therefore, I AM a WORK IN PROGRESS!! I’m Happy with my BODACIOUS Bulk and Braun!

I’ve come a long way baby… which is why I added a 5th GOAL shirt = FUSCIA size unknown at this time, but cover up is not optional = BODACIOUS BEAUTY with a Whole Lot o’ MUSCLE and I’ll be taking names and kicking butt! <3

HAVE GOALS AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

XOXO! Love you Dean & Nancy… and all my PEOPS AT BOOTY!” ~gretch

Diane’s Contest Entry – Wow!

It’s not too late to get your entry in for the “Win A New Wardrobe Contest”. The deadline has been extended to August 3rd so the jackpot can grow bigger!

Thought I’d share the latest entry from Diane. What an amazing transformation in 6 short months!

Here’s what she had to say (short but sweet):

“Started Get Fit Boot Camp on Jan 31, 2012 as of July 25, 2012 – 35 POUNDS DOWN!!  Thanks Dean and Erin!” – Diane

Judy is Stylin’ and You Can Too!

Remember this fantastic photo? Just two pieces of clothing but they tell a whole story, a transformation story. 

In fact you could be the next transformation story told in clothing. Our “Win A New Wardrobe” contest  runs until July 27th. Be creative as you tell your story. Don’t wait. Enlist the help of family and friends to help tell your clothing story. Take a look at Judy stylin’ in the new jacket she chose for inspiring this contest. Hey Judy, don’t forget to take the tags off of it!

Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown 2nd Place Winner Frank

Sometimes you gotta do what you don’t really want to do. As Frank shares, having a great support system makes all the difference. Frank’s transformation over the 8 weeks of S3 really is amazing, and we look forward to hearing the results of those races!

“I wasn’t planning on entering s3, but my wife (the amazing Kate Fox – ed.) talked me into it.

Having both of us in the contest helped keep the right foods in the house, plus we kept each other honest.

By rigidly following the s3 habits a surprising thing happened, I started to lose weight. I am competitive so being able to track other people’s progress helped motivate me to keep losing. The chance to win an iPad didn’t hurt either.

Towards the end of s3 positive feedback from family and friends, plus improved performance on the bicycle, kept me going strong. Now, I am looking forward to training for and entering some mountain bike and nordic ski races.

Thanks Nancy and Dean for Making It Happen!” – Frank Muller

A Bootcamp Story: The Tale of the T-Shirts

This just might be the coolest way any client has ever shown us their progress at Get Fit NH!

Judy from 6:15am Epsom sent us this “T-Shirt” History in pictures.

These shots documents just how much her body has changed as she has worked her way from her Gray Shirt, to her 1 year “Red Shirt”, to the 3 year “Black Shirt”. These incredible pictures are a testament to Judy as she has totally shifted her mindset and habits to create the results you see before you.

Judy also showed us a picture of what she wore to training when she started and what she wears now…Amazing!

From Gray To Red

Training Shirts – Then & Now

Congrats as Katie Wins in Epsom – S3 Individual 3rd Place

Katie Bean, who took the Sizzlin’ Summer Slimdown 3rd place in the individual category, just got back from a three day kayaking adventure in Maine. She loved her trip but she did say she was thankful for a strong upper body battling a kayak loaded with gear and a dog!

She’s back at Get Fit NH and more determined to stick with S3. She lost 11.48% of her body weight in 8 weeks. Before Katie left for Kayaking she lets us know how the S3 habits changed her daily routine. You can read How Katie Rocks it here. As a side note Katie’s husband also benefited from the S3 challenge, to the tune of 20 pounds gone!

Katie will soon be wearing a new designer shirt too. She trains as part of the 6:15 training team in Epsom that took the overall team competition (again) this year! Their new shirt is being designed and we’ll see Katie in it soon.  She’s loving her new jacket and anxious to take part in FLAG.

Coach Nancy

Success Stories – Cate Dartnell

We love seeing and hearing about all the fantastic progress you are making here at Get Fit NH.

When Cate stopped me on the way out after training yesterday, I asked her to share with you what she shared with me.

Shout it out Cate!

“Here’s my story.

I had been noticing that my pants were getting a little tight & my clothes just didn’t look that good anymore. I finally figured out that I just needed to move up a size and wear looser shirts. You know – hide that muffin top. I figured I’m over 40 now and it’s just a fact of life that the weight creeps up on you.

Then I joined Get Fit NH Bootcamp.

I started out just looking to get active. I hadn’t exercised really in over a year & was feeling sluggish.  I was surprised when I got on the scale 3 months later and saw I had dropped about 15 pounds and 2 pant sizes. But it didn’t stop there. I haven’t dropped any more weight but last week I bought a size 2 pair of pants. When I started I was wearing size 10.

I never thought that I would ever be this fit again. I am now in probably the best shape of my life. I think what helps me the most are the emails on nutrition. A lot of it is things we already know but I love the daily reminders. I definitely look at food differently than I used to. Coming to class has made me stronger and helped reshape my body. And it’s something I look forward to every day because you guys make it so much fun.

So thank you! You made something possible I thought was impossible. – Cate”

Becky’s Getting Married!

Becky and proud mom Sally!

In 4 days Becky is walking down the aisle and then is off to Wyoming for the summer – her last day with us for awhile is Thursday, so offer your congrats when you see her.

I asked Becky to share her experience at Get Fit NH with everyone – Thank-you Becky!

Thanks for choosing to train with us to get ready for the wedding – you have worked hard and you look fantastic!

“Hi Dean,

Thanks for your email.  I have really enjoyed coming to Get Fit each day!

First of all, I started coming because of my upcoming wedding; I needed something to help me lose a few pounds and tone up.  I look forward to coming each day for many reasons.

First of all, I enjoy the variety in the workouts each day.  I never know what to expect, neither does my body, contributing to great results.  The variety in the workouts makes it fun each day.  I also really enjoy the social aspect; I made some friends and always had someone to compete with, making me push myself harder.  I will miss that part of it.

I also look forward to the daily nutrition emails.  Although I fundamentally know how to eat well, I don’t always put that into practice, so your emails are a daily reminder of what I should be doing.  I have them all saved in a Get Fit folder in my email for future review.  : )

Lastly, I have had great results.  I have lost about 20 pounds, my clothes fit better, my stomach is flatter, and I overall feel better about my body.  Thanks so much for all that you have done (and Erin!), I will miss Get Fit over the summer, and I hope to be able to continue training there in the near future.  Best wishes, I will send some pictures of our wedding!!

Take Care,
Becky Jones”
