I have known Mary for the past 13 years. She has seen me struggle with my weight for many of those years. When Mary started TBFN, I knew it would be a success. It is a success not only because she is a nutrition specialist and personal trainer, BUT it is because she CARES.
Before I started this program, I said to Mary (crying) “I am just so tired of failing,” and her response was “I am going to help you until you succeed.” And that is exactly what she has done. Mary is my #1 supporter. Over the past 5 weeks, I have lost 10 lbs, 7 inches and 3% body fat!! I say this proudly, “I am no longer considered obese!!”
This is only the beginning of my journey. As we begin 2011, my mantra is “Committed to Commit!!” I will be running my first half marathon in May as a SMA Warrior raising funds to help find a cure for SMA! I finally have a new healthy outlook on life!!
Thank you TBF&N and Mary for believing in me to take those first few steps to on my way to the 3 F’s… Fit, Fabulous, & Furious!!”
“I have been working with Mary for a while now. I have lost 26 lbs, 14 inches, and 14% body fat! Mary definitely knows her stuff!!!! She has helped me by both being my personal trainer and nutrition counselor. I never knew how to eat right. I thought you had to starve yourself to lose weight. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could lose weight by eating MORE! I love to eat so the program is perfect for me. Education is the key, and Mary teaches you all you need to know about getting fit and healthy.
On the personal trainer side, Mary is wonderful. She is always encouraging you know matter how you do. Mary is there for you to cheer you on. It is fun and nearly painless working with her.
Overall, I would sure recommend Mary to anyone. She is always positive and upbeat. Also, no question is a bad or foolish question. Mary is supportive, encouraging, and very well educated. If she helped me, I think she can help ANYONE!!!!
Thank you a million times over Mary!” Renee S.
”It was three months before my daughters wedding! It had been at least three years that I had let the weight creep on! I was really frustrated because the things I used to do to take the weight off weren’t working! I found Mary’s website and asked her – “Can i get in shape in three months and look good for the wedding?” She replied – of course – that’s a lot of time!
I gave her my requirements – I hate to sweat and I love junk food! And still she made it happen!
So- we are three days before the wedding and I look great! The food plan and the strength training did the job! The flabby arms – gone! The stomach that I couldn’t beat no matter what – gone! Checking in each week really made a difference.
Thank you so much Mary – we had such a wonderful time at the wedding and I felt amazing!” ~Chris
“Hey Mary, Well, I’ve had this letter on my mind for a while and yesterdays doctor’s appointment was the proverbial “straw” I suppose. When the nurse took my weight, I knew I had lost some weight since my last appointment but was shocked to learn that I am currently the lightest I’ve ever been since starting with this Doc nearly 7 years ago! I can’t thank you enough for all the information and advice you’ve given me. I started this journey in January 2010 at 213lbs. I’m about 1/2inch short of being 6ft. tall so 213 on my frame was not pleasant! It’s now July 2010 and I weighted in this morning at 182lbs! For about 3 months I was in a friendly competition with my father in law to see who could lose the most weight. He took some of my/your advice and has lost 31 lbs. himself! When people ask me how I lost the weight, the answer is pretty simple: I eat good protein, limit sodium, drink lots of water, no mayo on anything (including avoiding summertime mac-and- potato salads), and only eat cheese when the meal requires it! I now have a mental bank of what I can eat in a hurry or on the road which was one of my biggest problems. A little free weights to build some muscle and I have 2 boys under the age of 4 so cardio isn’t typically a problem for me. I can’t tell you how good it feels to feel good! I truly can’t thank you enough! You keep it simple and that’s what worked for me!”
Thanks Again,
Lee P. Rhodus
“I am a 40 year old male who started working with Total Body Fitness and Nutrition approximately one year ago. When I started with them I weighed 225lbs at 5ft 9 with a 38in waist. I was having difficulty losing weight, although I was going to the gym at least 4 times per week. No matter how much effort I put in I was going nowhere. My goal was to lose weight and inches without sacrificing muscle mass. TBF&N taught me how to reach my goals. Their cardio workouts accompanied with weight strength training enabled me to “lean out” but maintain muscle. I was shocked to learn how nutrition is probably the most important part of the program. I found that by eating the proper things I was actually eating more food and feeling more satisfied. I eat six smaller meals per day and no longer binge on food. I have reached my goals and then some. I am currently 175lbs and down to 32in waist. I feel great and look great. Thank you Total Body Fitness and Nutrition.” ~P.B.
“Total Body Fitness and Nutrition really helped me finally get healthy. They taught me how to eat right, how to shop, and how to make positive changes in my life. I went from a size 12 to a size 6! Thank you!” ~Tiffany
“After 2 kids in 3 years and gaining 50 pounds each, I really struggled to lose the pregnancy pounds! Total Body Fitness and Nutrition devised an easy to follow nutrition plan for me based on my particular likes, lifestyle and caloric needs to safely and effectively lose weight. I have lost 30 pounds since starting with Total Body Fitness and Nutrition and am not looking back! The difference I have found with this plan is that Mary really listens to your goals and struggles and tailors the program to help overcome the struggles and meet your goals on a personal level. Need a push? Not only will she motivate you, but she will not make you feel like you are alone. Thanks for everything! “ ~Jill

“My husband and I are both following your diet guidelines. We are in our third week and seeing wonderful results.

“We started working with Total Body Fitness and Nutrition just before my daughter turned one year old. We were lost as to what to do since we were told she needed a special diet. Since working with them she has become more energetic, has shown great measures in her growth and is overall healthier!! She is now almost three years old and we continue to look to Total Body Fitness and Nutrition for guidance in her diet. Not only have they helped us with her diet, but have taught us, as parents, about proper nutrition, calories and overall healthy choices. I trust them more than anyone else we have talked to in regards to diet and nutrition for her and we are forever thankful!” ~Kate
