65 pounds GONE Danyelles' experience with Texas Fit Chicks Boot camp

"My name is Danyelle Becker and I’m the proud mother of 4 year old twin boys.  During my pregnancy I stopped working out because I was either too tired or did not have time. After the birth of my sons, I found myself getting bigger and bigger to the point that I stopped even stepping on the scale. To lose weight, I tried other boot camps, personal trainers, diets, and workout routines. Nothing worked for me, until I started with Texas Fit Chicks in late August of 2011.  I trained with LeighAnne at her 9:30 class in McKinney. I live in Murphy and this was a 30 minute drive each way! LeighAnne is an AWESOME trainer who really brings out the best in you.

The first few months with Texas Fit Chicks, I wasn’t consistent with the program; I would skip class and not eat properly. In December, I realized that if I wanted a change, I NEEDED to change!  I started looking at class differently. This was my time that no one else could take from me. That year for the holidays I got a new Polar heart rate monitor, which I still use and love.  I found myself always trying to beat my last calorie burn from the previous class.  I made a game out of it.  It was really great seeing all the dates I worked out and how many calories I burned. As simple as it sounds, I believe this has been a big part of my weight loss. At the beginning of the year, Texas Fit Chicks came out with the Transformation meal plan. I followed the plan and stopped drinking for the month.  As a result, I lost 13 pounds. 

Once I saw the weight coming off, it pushed me to keep it going.  I always had this dream weight in my head of 135lbs.  Once I hit that goal I decided that I was not happy with the way my body looked so I kept going.  A few months later I was slowed down by a hip injury which eventually required surgery. During this time I decided that I wanted to help other ladies change their lives and went through the process of becoming a certified personal trainer.  Shortly after my certification, I had hip surgery. Once I was back on my feet, I opened my own Texas Fit Chicks location in East Plano. My life has changed in so many ways within the past year. Back then I never would have thought I would be where I am now, both physical and mentally.  I’m training a great group of ladies who keep me motivated and inspired to keep improving.  I love seeing their change and I am so proud of the work they are putting in to achieve their goals.  

I would like to thank Melody for creating Texas Fit Chicks program. I would especially like to thank LeighAnne for motivating and pushing me to obtain my goals. Her relationship has had a huge impact on my life.   I would also like to thank my ladies who show up 3 times a week at 5am to train with me so we can obtain own goals together. You all inspire me!" - Danyelle

"A year after having my 3rd child I knew how much weight I’d put on and how unhappy I was, but food was the only thing that could make me feel happy (besides my kids).  Every week I would say, “I’ll start dieting next Monday, what’s one more week.”  And before I knew it my size 18 jeans were getting too tight.   There was no way I was going to buy a size 20 jean so I knew I had to do something serious.  I was devastated and mad, at myself of course for ever letting it get this far out of control. At this point, it was a few weeks before Christmas and I knew I would not be able to have the self-control to not overeat during the holidays so I waited until January.  

On January 2, 2011 I started a food journal and counted calories, as well as began using my gym membership that I had had for a year and a half, but never even stepped into the gym.  I decided not to “diet”, but rather change the way I ate and control my portions.  I was going to the gym about 4 times a week doing around 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and 15 minutes of weight lifting machines.  By April I had lost 51 pounds.  Once summer came around I was bored with the gym and stopped going almost completely and stopped my food journal and calorie counting.  I was very aware of what I ate and did try to eat as well as I had been, but was not near as strict as I should have been.  By December of 2011 I had put 19 pounds back on.  I was furious with myself for undoing all the hard work I had already done, and decided I was changing my lifestyle completely after Christmas.

On January 4, 2012 I started my food journal and gym visits again.  This time I had a workout buddy and it helps tremendously!  On the days I didn’t want to go to the gym she would make me, and on the days she didn’t want to I would make her.  This time I decided to change not just my eating, but my families also.  Instead of making a separate meal for myself I started cooking dinners that I could eat with my family.  I quit buying food that would tempt me.  I was going to the gym between 3 to 5 times a week, always doing 30-40 minutes of cardio and then 15-20 minutes on the weight machines.  By June I had lost 38 pounds, but was getting extremely bored with the gym and wasn’t feeling like I was strong.  I obviously looked better with 38 pounds gone, but I just felt like I needed something more.  Me and my workout buddy started talking about trying a boot camp, but we were nervous about what we thought it would be like going to one with all these fit men and women.  And then we came across an ad for Texas Fit Chicks on Facebook.  We looked into it and decided that we would give it a try.  It appealed to me because it is only for women and that took out the intimidation factor that other boot camps had.  

On June 25, 2012 I went to my first Texas Fit Chicks boot camp, in Wylie.  It was the best workout I’ve ever had in my life.  It was so hard, and I could barely move for the next 2 days but I loved it.  In the 11 weeks I have been with Texas Fit chicks, I have lost another 8 pounds and 5.25 inches.  I am stronger than I have ever been, and I have muscles.  I’ve never had muscles before!  I love our trainer, Sandy.  She is so encouraging and tough on us, but never yells or humiliates us, which was one thing I was nervous about when signing up for a boot camp.  All of her girls have her cell phone number and she is willing to help us at any time, which to me means so much.  Recently she volunteered to come to my house and help me with food and nutrition on her own time, which I totally took her up on that offer.  She is extremely knowledgeable and truly wants to help people.  Sandy is so much more than a trainer; she’s a confidant, friend, and an inspiration.  I feel like Texas Fit Chicks has given me so much more than just a workout.  Having a trainer that is right there telling you that you can do it when you feel like you can’t helps so much.  At the gym, I would stop if I felt like I couldn’t continue, but Sandy gets me going and I don’t stop.  I am now starting my 3rd round of Texas Fit Chicks, and I have no intention of quitting anytime soon!

Over all 20 months since I first decided I was ready to change my life, I have lost a total of 78 pounds.  This summer has been the first time since the summer of 2006 that I have worn shorts, and gone to a pool or beach and actually got in the water and enjoyed myself.  I am still working on the way I see myself.  It has been a very hard journey to realize that I am better and healthier than I was.  I still don’t see myself accurately when I look in a mirror, but if I look at a picture for some reason I do see the way I really look now.   I am so much happier now and much more confident.  I still have work to do to get myself to my ultimate goal, but I know now that I can do anything that I want to do.   And I’m looking forward to getting there and staying there! - Jamie H.
