Tasmin’s Success Story, from 29.6% body fat to 23.4%
Today’s client success story is all about Tasmin ;-)!
Tasmin sought me out because she wanted to lose some weight and tone up. Tasmin was fairly active but had some habits that were not helping her lose weight (lots of snacking) and she wasn’t doing any strength training, which makes toning up pretty difficult.
When I first met with Tasmin she said she did not want to log calories, which makes losing weight hard, it’s like trying to play darts with your eyes closed, hard and dangerous lol. I expressed my concerns and said that was fine we could try the habit based approach but it would be slower. Tasmin was fine with that…or at least in the beginning lol.
Tasmin ended up logging her food which was a great decision! Her friends, coworkers, and boyfriend have all noticed the results from her hard work. She is almost through Phase 2 of the Better Booty, Tighter Tummy Program (8 weeks) she has gone from 29.6% body fat to 23.4% body fat which means she has lost 10.67 lbs of fat and actually gained around 4 lbs of lean tissue! That is pretty epic and not typical!
But…Tasmin’s work ethic is also not typical she has worked super hard, even when she traveled to Chicago she did not deviate from her plan. I could not be prouder ;-)!
Now…some accountability for this week’s reading challenge. What book did you choose? I would love to know. I am half through The Outsider by Stephen King.
Go be awesome!

This will work, however, if you aren’t losing weight it is likely because you are eating to much. If that is you, eat ¼ to ⅓ less than shown.
