I really, really love the training!!! Iam getting results in my body and love hearing people tell me how great I am looking. I have gotten stronger on every exercise, and the only one that i still can't do is an unassisted pullup. that is my long term goal for myself! The diet has been very easy to follow and I have really been almost perfect on it. I think I had sushi for dinner one night, so if that's my worst cheat, so be it!

I want to keep going with everything and really see what my body can do! Let me know what you want to tweak for the next round, i'm game for anything!!!

Julie,

Guess what?! I got my Bod Pod results and since my last reading on 3/24, just 23 days ago, I have gained 2.6 pounds of muscle and lost 2.5 pounds of fat!!! My body fat percentage is now 24.4%, which is 1.9% lower than the last reading! Thank you so much for your help! I have tried so many different things since I started training 6 years ago, and nothing has worked like this. I cannot believe that I have put on that much muscle that quickly. The highest my lean mass has ever been was 103.5 at the end of 2005, and I wasn't sure that I could ever get back up to that - now I think I can get beyond that! I am THRILLED!!! THANK YOU!!

Spring '07 Transformation– Jenn Jackson

Congratulations to Jenn Jackson of the Spring Team Fitbody, who over the course of a very challenging 20 weeks completely transformed her body going from an average woman to a Figure model and NPC National Figure competitor. 

Jenn’s hard work and dedication have taken her from 24% bodyfat at 142 lbs to 11% bodyfat at 127 lbs.  In the process, Jenn lost 15 lbs of fat, gained 5 lbs of muscle and gained a new respect for what she can accomplish. 

She took First and the Overall title at her very first figure show – a large National Qualifier against more than 50 incredible athletes.  Watch for Jenn on National stages this year.  I would not be surprised if an IFBB Pro Card was in her future with this kind of determination!

Here is what Jenn had to say…
I would like to give the biggest thank you ever to Julie Lohre.  She has truly changed my life.  When I submitted my week 1 photo I really didn’t even think she would want to work with me.  I looked horrible. I felt horrible.  Julie has been there every week, every day, sometimes even by the hour J to help encourage, motivate, and totally support my fitness goals.  She had way more confidence in me accomplishing my goals than I did.  I really just wanted to maybe be able to get in good enough shape to try a figure show and not look out of place.  Julie is the most positive and inspiring person I have ever met. She is my total role model.  I could never do this without you!!  Thank you sooo much Julie!! 

Being a part of Team Fit Body is a must for anyone thinking of competing.  Our Fit Body Team has some of the most awesome women.  Everyone is so friendly and always willing to help.  There are veterans to the sport and brand new people like me. Just check out the discussion board and you won’t believe all the support that’s there.  I have made some really great friends being a part of the team!  Thanks chicks :)

Now a WNBF PRO!!! See more about Pam here.

Update - 10/2007
....It just amazes me to think that I started working with you just over 2 years ago, right before your first pro show and look at you NOW! AND if someone had tried to tell me then that I would be competing on stage and having so much fun at it, I would have thought they were crazy. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve not been near as committed and dedicated to workouts and dieting as you have, heavens knows I like to cheat and can get carried away, but I’ve learned so much from you and am so thankful that you talked me into taking that ‘leap’ into walking on stage for the first time!
I’m proud to report that I competed in an INBF show on Saturday night that was a couple hours from here and I FINALLY walked away with my very first 1st PLACE trophy and also a WNBF Pro Card. This was only the second show I had ever done with the organization, but we’ll see! I was completely floored!!
I celebrated for a couple days but had to get back on ‘track’ cause I have a local NPC show a week from Saturday. Just wanted to share my good news and say THANKS AGAIN for convincing this quiet, shy girl that she could shine on stage!

Pam D.

I just wanted to say thank you again for everything you did for me the past 16 weeks.  It was so wonderful to have someone like you take me through this amazing (but hard : ) journey.  I could not have picked a better person to work with.  I look forward to working with you again.

Thank you!

Julie,
Thank you!  Because of you I was able to break through my fears and reach my goals!  It was the best feeling having you behind me at the show as well as the team.  I owe you so much more, but I know that with everything I have learned from this experience, I can accomplish so much more! You are awesome!

Julie’s Note:  In 8 weeks Dana transformed her body from 20% body fat to 15% bodyfat and accomplished her goal of competing in her first figure competition!

It's me, Heather.  The newbie from the last posing clinic.  Please save me a place at the August 19th class.  It was sooooo helpful, that I MUST do it again!  Thanks! Heather
p.s.  Your DVD is awesome. I watch it every night.  I learn something new every time.  Thanks for selling it to me!!  LOL

Julie,
Wow! Thanks you SO MUCH! I have made my choice to compete, so here I go! Also, I feel truly blessed to have met you. You are one of the sweetest and most inspiring people I have come across. I am so happy to be working with you. Changing my life is not going to be easy, but I feel confident and know I have the support I need now with you!
Thanks again for everything!

Hi Julie.
I just wanted to say "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you" for setting me up with a program that works and assisting in numerous ways throughout the last 8 weeks. It is with the your motivation, inspiration, knowledge and experience that has assisted in the progress I have made this far! I can not wait to see the progress I will make within the next 8 weeks. I am on a roll! Again, thank you for your help in so many ways.

Thanks!
Jennifer Barkley - Louisville, KY

Trainers Note: Jennifer lost 6% bodyfat in 8 weeks! She has lost over 8 lbs of fat and gained 5 lbs of muscle!

Success Story: Fay S.
After having 4 children and putting herself on the side for too long, at 42 Fay decided that she wanted to take charge of her body. Inside she knew that she had the potential to have the body of a fitness model. Turns out that with a little help, she was correct. In the 7 months that Fay has been training with me, she has completely transformed her body! She has gone from 27% bodyfat down to 13% losing an incredible 16 lbs of fat while gaining 13 lbs of muscle! She reached her goal of competing in a Figure show and enjoyed it so much that she decided to do 2 more within the next month. Fay is an amazing woman – with her dedication, heart and a whole lot of training, she has reached her goals! Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

Julie-Thanks so much for all of your encouraging words and help the last few months. I really appreciate it! Only one more week 'til my contest! I couldn't have gotten through it all without you. Keep pushing, both yourself and others!

Lydia L. - Hamilton, OH

Lydia made incredible progress over 4 months dropping 10 lbs and more importantly losing 7% bodyfat to take her from 20% down to a lean 13%!!! With the full nutrition and training program she was even able to gain 3 lbs of muscle while on a contest diet! She reached her goal of competing in her first figure show and getting into the best shape of her life!
