When I was eighteen, I received an unwanted comment from a male trainer at the gym I belonged to. He said, "your stomach is big because you are eating the wrong foods, white rice and potatoes". I politely told him that it was not appropriate to comment on a woman's body parts. Ten years later, I met a trainer at another gym I joined and he gave me a diet to follow (very close to the one I follow today) and I threw the paper in the trash. I was not interested. Working out at this gym for two years, I saw the same people each week, working out hard and bodies looking exactly the same. I asked the trainer why this wa the case. His reply was, "their diets".
Well, three years later I moved to Charlotte and crossed paths with Ms. Tiffany. At our first meeting she informed me about the nutrition part of the program. I am 100% convinced that eating differently has made the most improvement with my body. Drinking whole milk and cheese was not good for my adult body. When Ms. Tiffany gave me the meal list/plan I almost threw it away, but decided that I did not want the same result or to waste my time or money. I was determined to see changes and try the diet. After two weeks, I can honestly say that my taste buds changed and that I liked fat free milk and cheese. The changes that you see in my body took twelve weeks. I lost inches, which look like I lost a lot of weight. Looking at my picture is proof that fat does not weigh much, but takes up a lot of space. I said all of this to say change your diet and be encouraged!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Tiffany's Fit 4 Life Program. I found myself topping the scales at almost 185 pounds in January 2006. I was unhappy, unhealthy, and facing the fact that I couldn't fit into my bridesmaid dress for my best friends wedding in June!!! My mother passed away in 2004 after a long battle with breast cancer and diabetes and I was finally determined (or disgusted enough) to do something to make myself healthier.
I have never been the type to commit to a weight loss or exercise program for very long. I always wanted instant results and would give up after only a few weeks. With Tiffany's program of combined nutrition and fitness, along with her coaching and coaxing, I lost 10 pounds in the first 6 weeks. After that, the weight just started to melt off of me. I learned the proper technique for weight training and developed strength I never thought I could have. By June, not only did my bridesmaid dress fit, but I had to have it taken in 2 sizes!I lost a total of 40 pounds and dropped over 20 inches over my whole body in just 6 months!! Now I'm eating healthy, I'm more flexible, I feel happier with myself, and my friends and family all say I look great! I couldn't
have done it on my own.

When I graduated from High School in 1976, I was weighing nearly 200 lbs. I had been trying to lose the weight, but did not have the right knowledge nor motivation that was needed to do it correctly or consistently(not many people did then). In the early 80's I joined a women's gym, but all they really offered were group aerobic classes.
Then I happened to be reading a fitness magazine (I don't remember which one it was), and discovered the world of female bodybuilding. I did not think a women could look like that. This inspired me to look beyond the traditional programs for women. I joined Gold's Gym in the mid 80's and attempted to weight train. But I still did not have the correct knowledge to train correctly, let alone safely. Thank God I did not injure myself. In the years following, I joined a number of clubs, with no knowledge of what I was doing which would ultimately lead to no gains, frustratration, and finally giving up. In the year of 2002 I had very low self-esteem., I had reached my heaviest weight which was 220 lbs.
This was about the time I met Tiffany. I really learned a lot from Tiffany in the time that I have been involved in the program. Tiffany's winning personality, patience, and drive have really motivated me to keep striving. I have lost 57 pounds and kept it off for 3.5 years. I would recommend the Fit 4 Life program to any woman who is looking to making a positive and lasting change in her life as well as her health.
