Personal training and workout client Monique, Sugarland Texas |

These amazing photos of Monique do not need many words to describe them. You can see for yourself the difference seventeen pounds makes in the way a person looks and feels. Monique was VERY determined to achieve the goals we set and she was very consistent in eating more vegetables and fruits and eliminating fried foods and high calorie snacks and desserts. This workout client shown below liked making the chicken tortilla soup for lunch and liked the strawberry crepes Personal trainer Melissa taught her to make because they are delicious and filling and low calorie.
Monique walked and ran during her "off" days and her husband helped initially by watching one of the twins before he went off to spring training for football out of town. He also helped by eating more veggies himself in addition to his food from "myfitmeals.com" because when both people in a relationship are trying to eat more natural foods with fiber and vitamins, the eating plan is easier to stick to.
Before hiring a personal trainer Monique would workout at Lifetime Fitness and was an avid kickboxing fan and also enjoyed other classes as well. Her muscles had muscle memory and the hard work from before the pregnancy helped her make good progress once she decided to get back in shape. Monique's workouts with Houston personal trainer Melissa consisted of plyometrics with a twelve pound weighted med ball, high bench low bench workouts including step jumps, weight training and weighted vest workouts with lunges, reverse lunges and deadlifts to focus on the legs and butt area.
Monique reached a plateau for a period of time and began to be a little frustrated but this is normal and because she continued to stick to the program, she broke the plateau with a five pound loss all at once and was ecstatic! She still plans to lose an additional amount of weight so look for her updated photos on here in a few weeks! =)
Monique's little girl likes to help care for one of the twins during workouts when she is home!

Hi PERSONAL TRAINER MELISSA! You might wonder the reason for my email, but I just wanted to let you know am doing ok.
I kind of procrastinated on working out or eating healthy after returning from Europe, and of course I started gaining some weight back I had lost during our bleacher and running workouts and realized I needed to do
something about it since I had worked SO HARD to make that progress and I did not
want to go back up in weight. You know it is so easy to gain the weight back when it takes so much hard work to loose
it. Finally I returned to the gym and was amazed to realize I still had some of the
endurance I had achieved while working out with you and didnt have to start from scratch again. I am also eating healthy again. Since you realize how long do you
have to run to burn a few calories you think twice about what you put in your mouth! Remember how we ran three and then four miles at the park? I am so proud, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I am able to run 5 miles at 5.5 miles an hour, something I don't think I was ever able to do before. So my email is really to thank you for helping me
get there. It is still a work in progress, believe me I don't wake up and say "yes! i get to go to the gym",but it is not a drag anymore and I make myself do it at least 4 times a week. I am down to 157.6 and
working on maybe 15 pounds more. In the other picture I was at least 204 pounds or more. I am sending you a picture, which you can post on your website if you would like, I think it might inspire some people, because it sure inspires me. I dont want to go back to that place. Even if I am smiling in that picture, I know I always felt awful for looking that way. I was so body conscious I hated going out. Anyway I already
made this email too long, again, Thank you for your help. Bye bye, Lidia
(Lidia was a client in the heat of the summer for eight weeks and wanted to lose weight before her trip to China and she did very difficult bleacher workouts, lunges, running and more, three times a week to achieve her goals and dreams. GOOD JOB LIDIA!!)

 Thank you...Thank you......for teaching me all that you could about
nutrition, dieting, exercising and just how to live a healthy life in a
fun way! I really have never been a big person. I was 140 pounds when my
husband and I started our family in Tomball Texas and I had no idea what pregnancy does
to your body as far as weight gain. I will never forget the day that I gave birth to my son
and I felt so SKINNY again..... but man did I have a rude awakening when I went
to put on my fasted jeans and they didn't fit. WOW, what a bad feeling that
was. I didn't have a clue how I was going to get all that weight off
and get back to my 140 small self.
I was working in mortgage lending and had to work many long hours, SO I hired personal trainer Melissa
to come into my home, which saved me time,and help me get that body I loved back! I loved
my hour of personal training workouts with Melissa, we talked about all kinds of stuff.
How to make things taste better, how to eat things or make things more
palatable to me that I didn't like such as the spinach shake..the recipe is here on the website. I LIKE it now!!!! Now that I am back down to what I was prior to having a baby( maybe a little smaller even).....ITS THAT TIME AGAIN and Jason and I are adding an additional family member and he or she will be here in April.
I am excited about the upcoming baby because I know I can look forward
to the opportunity to get to work with Melissa again...which makes
losing the weight SO much easier and faster. I cant wait! Thanks for
all the courage and positive thinking!

 Working out while trying to also care for small children can be a
challenge says Irina, originally from Russia. I liked having Houston personal trainer Melissa train me because she
comes to my home and that helps a lot because my son did not like the daycare at
the gym. She has become a friend to me and even though the workouts are
challenging I am losing body fat and inches. It would be nice to see faster
results but I am not able to push as hard because I am expecting another child
and my eating is not as perfect is it could be otherwise. I have learned more
about maintaining activity levels such as walking and am getting more motivated
to participate in new sports such as tennis (which Melissa has helped me learn
about). I know if I had not had a personal trainer I would not have made as much
progress in my workouts.

Magnolia Texas, Personal Trainer Client Kindra |

Kindra has been working out in a pasture in Magnolia! She and Houston Personal
trainer Melissa like to do workouts "without walls" so they take their
weight training outside when it is not raining or too hot. The world
around small towns can provide many perfect places for doing specific
targeted moves..for example modified pull ups can be done on gates or
monkey bars and
calf raises can be done on curbs. Body weight lunges can be done for a
targeted distance..such as to the next light pole, and push ups can be
done full body or modified right on the street.
Kindra, a Magnolia resident, hopes to lose even more weight because she
has recently also joined weight watchers at the recommendation of
Houston Personal trainer Melissa. "Some people can really benefit from
the peer pressure and weekly weigh ins in front  of others that Weight
Watchers provides and I like their balanced approach to eating" said Melissa.
