More Weight Loss Success Stories

Casey M

I can’t remember the last time we even talked about a binge episode.” Casey tried to avoid all the things he felt he “shouldn’t” be eating, would eat very rigidly for weeks only eating foods he felt he “should” be eating, and he would ALWAYS end up bingeing on those very foods to which he avoided at least once a week. Our Diet Freedom program helped him put his fears of never being able to heal his binge eating to rest. He realizes he isn’t on a diet any more, he can eat what he loves he just doesn’t need to eat a ton of it. He has shifted from being completely food focused to not really even thinking about food any more. He’s lost 40lbs to date and multiple pant sizes!

Madelyn

Madelyn found hardships in finding balance with her eating. She was very restrictive and compliant to the point where it was unsustainable, which led to overeating and yo-yoing back and forth. She loved whole foods but just couldn’t figure out why she struggled to stay consistent. Madelyn worked through some deep inner work to address the obstacles that were keeping her from succeeding such as perfectionism, shame, and specific triggers that were causing her to overeat. She has learned to embrace the positivity that healthy eating brings to her life, and tune in to her body’s natural hunger rhythm to help her eat mindfully.

Shelby was instrumental in helping me identify some unhealthy nutritional habits I had developed and gave me the tools to change them. Without her insight and knowledge I don’t think I would be in the healthy state I am today, she truly provides the perfect environment to explore and dig deep. For me it was instrumental in improving my health, always persistent and never judging I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a nutritional mental reset.

This program has been life changing for me! It is exactly what I needed to have a good relationship with food. I am so glad I decided to do this because I have tried to do many programs on my own because of $ reasons and I thought with the knowledge I have I could for sure do it on my own. Time kept passing by and I feel like things only got worse. I needed support and that’s exactly what TNT did for me among many other things.

Starting out I knew this program was going to work because I felt it was exactly what I needed. It was really scary for me to eat whatever I wanted at the beginning because none of it was healthy, which wasn’t like me unless I wasn’t being restrictive at that time. I started to wonder if it really was going to work but I did know that being restrictive works but its temporary and it takes over your life! I had played that game enough and I was done with it! Shelby told me that you can’t focus on losing weight until you have a good relationship with food. So I decided to just trust her and forget about the weight loss. Once I did that, things really started to improve. I still didn’t lose weight but I didn’t care. I went out and bought clothes that fit me that I actually liked to wear because I wanted to just be happy now and not wait to lose weight. What a waste of time that had been to only wear sweats and clothing that I didn’t like because cute clothes made me feel better and I accepted myself more. Overtime the clothes I had bought were getting loose which was awesome but of course I had just bought them. Oh well, I knew I had lost inches and felt better so that’s worth the $ spent on clothes for a few weeks. I decided to weigh because I thought for sure I had lost weight based on how my clothes fit. Surprisingly, I had not lost any weight. Shelby told me that no one cares what weight your walking around with, losing inches is way better. This was the first time I have not allowed the scale to control how I feel. I didn’t care because I felt good, had energy, and I wasn’t eating off of all the emotions that I did at the beginning. And I lost inches!!

At the end of my 12 week program I had lost weight, not as much as I would of thought but it was even better because I have kept the muscle from all the hard work of working out and I have lost inches and I can now fit my clothes in my closet that I have been dying to wear for a very long time. I walk around heavier on the scale but am just as thin as I used to be. I love that I don’t think about food anymore because that was taking up so much of my time. My energy goes into all the things I’ve been wanting it to go to, like spending more time with my family and focusing on them and not my weight and calorie intake. Healthy food taste amazing to me and unhealthy food isn’t as good as it used to be. I don’t have something unhealthy unless I really want it and I’m eating unhealthy food less and less because it just doesn’t sound good anymore. And if I do want something unhealthy I am okay with it because I feel more balanced than I ever have with food. It feels so good to eat what I want and not put on weight, I can’t believe it’s just a change of your mindset and that naturally happened to me without even trying.

This program is so worth every penny and I would do this program for as long as I needed because it’s worth a good relationship with food! I can’t express how life changing it is. I am such a different person now and not just with food, but in other aspects of my life. I have relationships with people that I never had time for and I realize how important it is now. I was missing out on so much, on truly living!
I am forever grateful to TNT Nutrition, you know what you are doing and you transform lives.

I had always been the athlete who ate what I wanted when I wanted and however much I wanted. After I stopped playing sports I discovered the gym and lifting. With that new found love for lifting I started researching anything and everything. What I needed to do to be like all the fitness model athletes. The people I wanted to be. This is where the roots of the challenges I faced for years started.

I was struggling for several years with the cycle of being on and off track with my eating habits. My cycle would usually last about three weeks of pushing myself in the gym and eating the same food every day before I would make whatever excuse and just stop. I was bored and thought that that meal structure was what all athletes did. I was researching and relying on big name websites for information. So much to the point I was drowning in information overload and was questioning everything I was doing around my eating habits. I lost my passion for what I once loved so much.

In these cycles I wanted everything I thought I couldn’t have. If I had a meal outside of my structure, I would feel guilty for hours after. I would continue to eat that way for the rest of the day thinking, “I already messed up, I’ll get back on track tomorrow.” But my eating habits weren’t only negatively impacted by that. I was environmentally triggered. If there was food around me, I wanted it. If I ordered something, I always had to finish my plate. This was my hard earned money and I didn’t want to waste it. My weight would follow those eating habits and I was constantly up and down each month. The cycles left me emotionally exhausted, questioning everything around my routine and mostly just unhappy. I had had enough!

Through my time of working with Shelby, everything started to click. I have more energy and found my passion for the gym and eating healthy again. My meals are colorful with choices and am never bored. I relearned to give myself permission, freedom and most importantly really listen to my body. To pause and tune-in to what it is I actually want and not solve every issue or success with food. There is no longer that sense of confusion or questioning my decisions. I now know what works best for me and my current goal and haven’t once thought about going back to those negative habits. The trust and confidence I have in myself now has traveled over to other areas of my life. Without Shelby I would still be on my three week cycle like I was for so many years. This part of my fitness journey has been one of the best decisions I could have made for myself. I see and feel the changes I have done in such a short time and now know what I am capable of doing!

Shelby !

I just wanted to take the time out to say thank you again. Coming into this I was expecting, but not knowing what I would get. “TNT” has changed my whole outlook on nutrition and just life period. Dealing/Coping with depression and anxiety, you took the time out to help me understand what I was feeling and why. I don’t know any other company that does that. Not only did you help me understand the WHY, but we found the HOW to find the positive out of everything, and how to find different ways to deal with my situations. AHHH!!!:) The many of times I tried to hold back my tears when you called to check up on my progression. You became that Confidant, the one who listened and never judged. Still past the tears and bad days, you helped me find a better way. You motivated me to stay positive. I always looked forward to our meetings and your happy voice on the other end saying “HEY! IT’S SHELBY MCDANIEL!”:D Those moments always brought a smile to my face…and if ever feeling down… I felt better in those moments. You know a lot of us start these fitness journeys because we believe that the change in our aesthetics will make us feel better… Nah… It starts with inner. Shelby…You have helped realize that. You know how much stress I was putting on myself to fit into a box I didn’t belong in. Doing everything but me…and I’m not ashamed… because you helped me find pieces of me on this journey. You made me realize how special I am as an individual, and that immediately got the ball rolling. You are such a big inspiration as a person, a coach, and a business woman. You go above and beyond to help others! And that is BEYOND beautiful! TNT Nutrition is definitely the Power Company, because of the Love and REAL you guys offer!!. None of these words could even begin to describe how thankful I am for this experience. Thank you so much Shelby and TNT Nutrition for helping me along my journey. ..Becoming the greater version of myself! YOU’RE FREAKING BOWL OF AWESOMESAUCE!:D

I joined the TNT nutrition program in May 2012. At my weigh-in last night, I have lost 9.5% body fat and 20 pounds! I have gone down two pant sizes and feel great! My energy and endurance during my cardio workouts and weight training have greatly increased; I can now jog 3 miles at a time and feel great afterwards! Did I mention that I am a 54 year old newly diabetic, post-menopausal woman too? I have never been able to lose with any other weight loss program, including Weight Watchers. TNT Nutrition is different since the program not only told me what to eat, but WHEN to eat it and WHY I should do it this way. This has helped me tremendously and is no longer a “diet” to me, it is my new lifestyle! At my last checkup, my blood sugar is coming down and my cholesterol numbers were great! My goal in joining this program was to become healthier and reverse the Type 2 diabetes that was newly diagnosed. I am well on my way to my goal AND I look and feel much better! If TNT can work for me, it can work for you!
