There is always a danger at the end of a contest. The danger that because there is an “end” that we can go back to what we were doing before it started, even if “that” was not helping us reach our goals.
You see we don’t want you to stop the good habits you just earned.
That’s right, you earned those good habits through 8 weeks of changing your eating, your routine, your mindset – all of it.
Keep what you have earned.
Because the next time we have a contest I want you to get better, not start back from the beginning.
The next 10 pounds you lose should be a new 10 pounds, not the same ones you have been losing and gaining back for years.
So what’s the next step?
For many of you it will simply mean continuing on with the S3 Habits. You can’t really go wrong with basing your nutrition on those principles.
S3 Habit 1: Eat a PPW meal within one hour of waking or within 1 hour after training
S3 Habit 2: Eat Lean Protein with Each Meal
S3 Habit 3: Eat At Least 5 Servings of Veggies per Day
S3 Habit 4: Choose Your Carbs
Kicking It Up A Notch
As part of the S3 prize package you may have seen that the winners gained entry into our F.L.A.G. program.
F.L.A.G. stands for Fat Loss Accountability Group, and it’s where a select group of our clients have access to an extra layer of accountability and nutrition coaching in order to help them get and stay on track.
As with any program the results aren’t easy or instant. But as S3 ends it may be what you need to keep the momentum going. Each week you will have an opportunity to have your nutrition analyzed, receive feedback and troubleshooting from Coach Nancy, and get the support of a great group of like minded people.

Here’s what a couple of our current F.L.A.G. group have to say about the program:
“Train hard and expect the weight should just drop off, right? Wrong. After attending boot camp for four days a week for over a year, I was finally able to admit that my eating habits were keeping my weight up and my energy level down. That is when I joined FLAG. The program provides guidance, accountability and education to support a more healthier high protein way of eating that results in weightless and increased energy. One of the great things about the program is that it does not involve calorie counting, so it isn’t like going on a ‘diet” but rather changing bad eating habits for the long haul.
I did not join FLAG feeling entirely ready for it, I wanted the results but knew it would hard work getting them. As I learned more and had a chance to meet and share struggles with others who were feeling the same way, little by little I evolved and the results followed. I wouldn’t have imagined it before, but for the first time ever I feel good about my weight and have said goodbye to the daily mid-afternoon energy crash. For me, FLAG was the additional tool I needed to get the results I’ve wanted since joining Get Fit NH a year and a half ago.” – Jayne
“FLAG has taught me that nothing happens overnight. Whether it is weight drop or the desire to eat properly. It is teaching me patience. It is teaching me that you can still eat out and make wise choices in what you eat.
In the beginning it was rough. The weight was not moving. I didn’t think that I was ever going to drop a pound. But then it started to go down. It’s not going down quickly but it’s staying off and that is the whole idea. I’m learning that it’s OK to splurge once in awhile as long as you get back on track. This can’t be thought of as a “diet” but a “life style change”. Life is full of ups and downs you just can’t let the downs keep you down.
Since starting FLAG I have lost almost 10 pounds. That doesn’t seem like much but I have been able to go down two sizes in pants and that makes me really happy. Still working on building up the muscle though. Everything takes time.
What would I say to someone that wants to join. The biggest thing would be to not expect instant change. Have patience. Listen to all the encouragement from others. We have all been there and are still there. This is a learning process. Knowledge takes time. Use the tools that are given to you. And most importantly, keep a positive attitude. If you slip up and have a bad day, bad week it will pass. But you have to have the mind set to really want it.” – Donna
Those are just two examples of the many successes we have seen with the committed participants of F.L.A.G.
Warning: This program is not for everybody, and not everyone who joins sees the results they want. Signing up is not enough. You must do the work necessary, consistently and persistently. No magic bullet. We will give you the tools and support you need, but you must take action.
Frankly we are crazy for offering this program at such a low price point. I see the hours that Coach Nancy puts into helping our F.L.A.G. members make the most of the program. You owe it to yourself to get the facts and see if the program is right for you. Our current F.L.A.G. members will be glad to talk to you about it (or out of it :)) so let us know if you would like to speak with them
