Over the years, Maureen found promise in Weight Watchers and various group fitness programs to aid her in her weight loss journey. Yet, despite the quick results, the pounds rebounded quickly when she veered off track, leaving her frustrated and disheartened. Each setback fueled self-blame, prompting her to quit– time and time again. With a negative mindset and no success in sight, she reluctantly embraced her undesired weight, lowering her aspirations, diminishing her confidence, and wondering if she deserved better.
"I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN MY ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING, BUT FINDING THE RIGHT FORMULA TO MAINTAIN THAT CONFIDENCE AND ACHIEVE RESULTS HAD ALWAYS BEEN A CHALLENGE."
An adjunct professor and director of learning and development, Maureen's intellect and drive were unwavering. Whether tackling parenthood, career transitions, or seeking efficient weight management techniques, she embodied perseverance. However, what she missed in previous programs was a tailored approach to fit her hectic schedule and strategies to maintain the right mindset through every situation.
“THE FRAMEWORK, PLANS, PREPARATION, AND SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ARE WHAT WORKED FOR ME.”
Upon discovering MasalaBody, she found a renewed sense of hope. Instead of focusing solely on weight loss, Maureen leveraged her past unsuccessful attempts to chart a path toward a sustainable lifestyle that accommodated occasional setbacks.
Maureen shares how working with an online weight loss coach changed everything
“I RECOGNIZE MY CYCLE OF TRYING, SUCCEEDING, AND THEN HITTING A BUMP. THROUGH YOUR PROGRAM, I’VE LEARNED NOT TO GIVE UP BUT INSTEAD RESET AND REFOCUS.”
Maureen's Online Weight Loss Coaching Results
In my 8-Week Slimdown Jumpstart program, Maureen began by developing a customized fat-burning framework aligned with her weight loss objectives and food preferences. Then, we addressed her biggest obstacle: a fear of failure and a mindset that eroded her self-assurance. We established a flexible routine tailored to her demanding work and travel schedule, balanced her meals for satiety, supplied recipes, offered educational materials on understanding her body and its nutritional requirements, and, crucially, supported her through setbacks to help her bounce back with resilience.
Within 8-successful weeks, Maureen melted away 10 pounds and lost inches off her waist, hips, and thighs.
“AFTER 2.5 WEEKS OF SEEING CONSISTENT SUCCESS, I FELT MORE IN CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO SOLVE THE FORMULA FOR MYSELF. TOOLS, FOOD, LOOSLEY SCHEDULING, AND PLANNING.”
MasalaBody empowered Maureen to leverage her past experiences to make informed decisions. Through the program, she learned to:
- Design meals tailored to her personalized fat-burning framework, prioritizing protein, incorporating favorite vegetables, and enhancing flavors with metabolism-boosting spices.
- Establish a meal-prepping routine to ensure consistency, even on her busiest days.
- Embrace the weight loss journey as an ongoing process, navigating triumphs and setbacks. Rather than seeing setbacks as failures, Maureen saw them as opportunities for growth and realignment with her health goals.
- Remove the word "diet" from her vocabulary and adopt a lifestyle-oriented approach.
- Reframe her mindset and dedicate effort to regain control over her life, all while cultivating a positive self-image.
“SINCE MY STOMACH EMPTIED SLOWER, IT REMOVED THE PANIC & DESPERATION AWAY FROM MY BODY AND BROUGHT ME TO A SPACE WHERE I COULD MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES AND CHOOSE FOODS THAT WORK.”
Maureen's confidence proved to be her most significant hurdle. Doubting her choices, objectives, and paths to achievement, she strayed from her course. Engaging an online weight loss coach provided her with a supportive companion in her quest. Having a support system during moments of defeat and receiving an impartial perspective from an outside source proved invaluable, reassuring her that situations were not as bleak as she had perceived.
“I FINALLY FEEL LIKE MY BODY IS DOING WHAT IT’S DESIGNED TO DO.”
As Maureen transitions to her next goal, she’ll carry forward the lifestyle she cultivated with MasalaBody. Drawing from her ongoing achievements in weight loss, she’ll bolster other aspects of her life, emerging more resilient than ever before.
