Chick Transformation: Carolyn

Like many women, after high school I slowly began to gain weight. Each year, I would gain a few pounds. I would tell myself that it was "normal" and never did anything to lose the extra weight. That is, until I started thinking about starting a family. At the time, I was about 90 pounds over weight, making me clinically obese. I made the decision to try a pre-packed weight loss program. It worked for me and I did lose about 35 pounds, but I quickly realized that it would not be a life-long "fix" for my weight "problem." I knew that I needed to find an exercise/eating program that would help me to make life-long changes to which I would be able to stick long-term. That's when I found Texas Fit Chicks. I had a friend that had been doing TFC for a while and suggested that I try it. I was a little skeptical about doing a "boot camp", but I joined Meridith's camp and was hooked in no time. Since joining TFC, I have found that my stress levels (my trigger to over eat) have lowered, making it easier to eat a healthy diet. I have also learned the habits that I need in order to meet my long-term life style goals. I am thrilled to say that since joining Meridith's camp I have been able to lose 40 pounds, at least 17 inches, 6 BMI points, and 6% body fat. Although, I still have goals to achieve, I know now that I can reach them and will be able to maintain my healthy lifestyle long-term.

Thank you, Meridith and TFC
~ Carolyn Rupert

Jessika's transformation story:
When I graduated from college I accepted a managerial position for the restaurant I’d been serving at all through college. I moved back home to Indianapolis, IN and started working. I had no idea how much work and stress I was going to have to deal with. After 2 years I was in a bad place emotionally and physically. I had gained about 15-20 lbs and always felt sick. I realized I needed to make a change. I joined a regular gym with my boyfriend and we went 4-5 times a week for the first 2 months and we were feeling great. After awhile we stopped going as much. I just couldn’t motivate myself and always felt uncomfortable at the gym. A few months later I got a new job and stopped working out all together and ate a lot of junk. Luckily soon after we decided that we wanted to get out of Indiana and move somewhere new. Right before we moved to Austin I saw an ad on Facebook for Texas Fit Chicks. I looked into it more and thought that it sounded like what I needed to get motivated. We moved to Austin on March 2, 2014. I was looking on Groupon for some deals and found Texas Fit Chicks again. I bought the deal and started two weeks later. Melanie and Texas Fit Chicks have changed the way I think and feel about exercising. It’s not about watching the scale and focusing on the pounds. I work out to be healthy, to get fit, and to feel great! I’m currently in a love-hate relationship with burpees! We just had our first meal prep social event so now I can commit to eating right as well as working out. So far over the last 6 months I’ve lost almost 15 lbs, and down 2 dress sizes. I can’t wait to see what I’ll accomplish in the next 6 months.

Chick Transformation: Jennifer!



At the age of 37 I learned that I was pregnant with my 3rd child. Twenty weeks into my pregnancy we learned that our baby would be born with a congenital heart defect. Like a lot of other people, I resorted to food as a stress reliever. I’ve always been an emotional eater and this time was no exception. Despite the warning from my doctor and my family that with my age the weight would be harder to lose, I still indulged. After my daughter’s birth my life was consumed with caring for her along with many doctor appointments, etc. After waiting month to month to find out when she would have her open heart surgery, that time came when she was 18 months old. After her surgery the stress levels decreased but I was still in turmoil and was not taking care of myself. I was the heaviest I had ever been and the unhappiest I had ever been. I was on the internet one day at work and saw a groupon for Texas Fit Chicks and I knew it was time for me to do something. I recruited a couple of friends to try it out with me. After the groupon expired we agreed that the early mornings and sore muscles would be a waste if we didn’t continue. I had no idea what life changing decision this would be!  I had always watched other women transform their bodies but never saw it as a reality for myself, although I was always curious what it would look like for me. Six months into Texas Fit Chicks and it became a reality! The girls in the class were so supportive of the “new girl” and I could not have asked for a better trainer! Leighanne knows her stuff. She knows how to get it done, kick some butt, and always held me accountable. I’m so glad I made the decision six months ago to join Texas Fit Chicks! Today I am the leanest I’ve ever been and the happiest I’ve ever been! Thank you Texas Fit Chicks and THANK YOU Leighanne!

Exercise mat
Dumbbells (5 – 8 lbs)
Stability Ball (ON THURSDAYS)
Water & Sweat Towel


Hey, everyone! I am so excited to be joining Texas Fit Chicks and opening my first camp the end of September! It has been quite a wild ride for me the last few years as I left teaching to pursue my natural passions of travel and fitness. Six years ago I moved from Iowa to teach middle school in Houston, but quickly realized it was not where I was meant to be. I had always been active in sports as a student and became an avid runner and health nut as an adult and spent most of my 20s traveling the world. When I was teaching, I often found myself looking out the window longing to do something different. I wanted to do something that was meaningful, like teaching, but outside of a traditional classroom setting and in areas that I knew I held great passion. After a lot of soul searching I took a giant leap of faith and started working full time as an adventure travel guide, which I loved! During my off-season, I started a course to get certified as a personal trainer and was so excited about how much I loved that too! I knew I was on the right path pursuing my dreams and using my personal gifts to help others improve their lives. I recently started my own personal training business and in the process came across Texas Fit Chicks. I fell in love with the concept and can't wait to get started! For the first time in my life I genuinely believe I am where I am supposed to be, doing what I am called to be doing, and I'm ready for more! ;-)

TFC Trainer Spotlight: Amanda Rupley: "Lights Camera Lupus"


Amanda Rupley - Our Little Elm/N. Frisco Texas Fit Chicks trainer is now a published bestselling author!
She began her journey with Texas Fit Chicks in March of 2013 as a chick and quickly fell in love with it!  In June 2013, she obtained her certification and launched camps in July 2013 and has been happily helping others in their fitness journey.

For Amanda, her journey wasn't to lose weight.  It was to gain strength and endurance after several severe bouts of Lupus struggles that left her bed ridden for many months.  Suffering from depression, chronic fatigue and pain, and lack of self worth - Amanda knew something needed to change.  Working as a Casting Director in reality television, her day typically began at 6am and ended 10pm or later - so making time to workout wasn't at the top of priorities.  One day her son wanted her to play a board game.  Amanda could barely lift her arm to move the game board piece and wasn't able to finish the game.  She quickly realized that her disease was going to take her if she didn't do something about it.  That's when she was introduced to Texas Fit Chicks.

Now, Amanda serves to help others in their journey while dedicating her life to raise awareness for Lupus and other autoimmune illnesses.  She has become an ambassador for the Lupus Foundation of America - Lone Star Chapter and serves on the committee for their Annual Gala.

Through gaining her confidence back during her journey with Texas Fit Chicks, Amanda decided she had to be a voice for those that had none.  Her book:  Lights. Camera. Lupuswas released on August 16th and hit Best Seller in the Lupus category within 48 hours.  Help Amanda Rupley and TFC raise awareness and grab your copy today on Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/Lights-Camera-Lupus-Entertainment-Through/dp/0990485722/ref=zg_bs_282820_16  

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Lights. Camera. Lupus. is an inspirational and personal lupus survivors testimony of privately dealing with a chronic illness while living in a very public world. Amanda gives us a firsthand account of the very real near-death experiences she has undergone over and over during her life. Amanda illuminates the devastation and frustration of being sick and not having anyone give her the answers she needed to heal. Her fight is one of courage and strength, showing that everyone - both the sick and the well alike - can be empowered to learn and to teach others how to overcome the curveballs life throws.

ABOUT AMANDA:
Born in Anaheim, California, Amanda made her debut in the entertainment industry at the age of two. During her tenure, Amanda landed many various rewarding roles and opportunities in print, film, television, voice-overs, and theatre. Her credits include many such as Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" music video, Kodak Training Films, Chuck-E-Cheese Commercials, lead roles in theatre productions, and many more. Amanda has spent the last ten years working behind the scenes as a casting director. She has been privileged to work on many major shows to include FOX's Hell's Kitchen, FOX's Masterchef, MTV's The Real World, ABC's The Bachelor, FOX's Utopia, NBC's Fashion Star, and many more.

Amanda Rupley is a casting director in reality television, entrepreneur, certified fitness instructor, writer and advocate for the Lupus Foundation of America - Lone Star Chapter. She and her husband, Derek, reside in Dallas, TX with their two kids and two dogs.
