Gonna Do It, Do It, Do It!

I'm not sitting around. I have 5 more lbs to lose. I'm staying focused! My plan is to keep eating all these fruits until the end of the month. I've been eating a lot of watermelon. I've also been eating oranges & tangerines & strawberries & pineapple. The salads & veggies have been very limited. I've never weighed this little in my adult life, so that's something new & exciting! I'm thin, but I still have a lot of work to do- toning up my body, learning how to eat for maintanence, learning about avoiding fat brain behaviors (like emotional eating, eating out of boredom, etc). I'm going to be learning to face my own emotions & habits that lead to me being obese. Before RFBC I did not exercise. Now I've learned to make exercise a daily part of my life. Many times walking is a family activity & we all enjoy it. Before RFBC I would eat snack foods like ice cream for dinner when I really should have been eating salad & fruit. I never got to the point where I would prepare fruits & veggies ahead of time & leave them in the fridge, but it's a great idea. I would like to prepare salads & leave them in the fridge so that my husband has no excuse for not eating healthy. Watch for my new pictures!

Hello Jess and congrats! Course, you earned it so....WAY TO GO, is probably more appropriate. I'm in your gae bracket and of all the pictures I've found anywhere- yours have come the closest to what i'd like to look like st this first leg of my lifelong journey, so, what did you eat (basics) and what types of excercises did you do to tighten up so well?

RFBC 2012 Biggest Losers

Jess was the first to win our 100 lbs in 7 Month's Challenge and receive her $500 Visa Card and 6 Months of free support. She is still at camp maintaining her final loss of 106.2 lbs. The first month was rocky, as it is for everyone, but she has settled into a our maintenance program and is doing great. She is one of the 5%er's--people who lose the weight and then keep it off!

DreamWeaver won the 100 lbs in 7 month Challenge on Nov 8, 2012. She is now in our 5% Club and will work on losing the remainder of the weight at a slower pace that fits better with her busy schedule.

Faith won our 100 lbs in 7 Months Challenge on Aug 29,2012, and then hit 130 lbs gone by her 8th month with us.

CB has become the heart of RFBC. Her blog is amazing. She has fought through some tough challenges while at camp, but nothing ever seems to derail her. She went from 318 lbs to 199 lbs in 7.5 months. Now that is inspiring! Not to mention on Aug 29, 2012, she too won the 100 lbs in 7 Month Challenge. She is now in our 5% Club taking it slower as she builds a new business.

Beli did not win the challenge as her last month brought some struggles, but as you can see by her photos, she won big time.

On March 1, 2012 FreeSpirit hit the 100 lbs in 7 Months mark. She was in a different program that started back in August which gave her free membership as long as she participated and did our program. Her first month after losing the 100 lbs was rocky, as it is for many, but with team support, she pushed through and is still making her way to goal. She is now a member of our 5% Club working to get those last pounds off as she goes to school to create a new career.

Tom is from Australia, so he lost this weight during the winter. He also won the 50 lbs in 13 Weeks Challenge and is working on losing the rest as part of our Rawk Starz group.

KK lost 75 lbs in 24 weeks. She won the 50 lbs in 13 weeks challenge and earned her 4 free weeks of camp. With this loss came courage, and she is off changing the direction of her life. We are very proud of her.

Gorgo lost 61 lbs and hit her goal weight in 4.5 months! She is now in in our 5% Club learning to keep it off.

On March 12th, 2012 Clpet hit 80 lbs gone in 6.5 Months. She won the 50 lbs in 12 weeks Challenge and received 4 weeks of free support. Sorry, she doesn't have a blog. She volunteered to go public to help you see what is possible at RFBC.

Nonie has lost 62 lbs in 17 weeks. She earned 4 weeks of free support at RFBC when she lost 50 lbs in 13 weeks. Then lost another 12 pounds to earn 4 more free weeks of camp. That was her last chance to earn free support as she hit her goal weight and moved into maintenance. She is one of our shining stars in the 5% Club. We now call her the Adventure Goddess!

The Next Jess Team

These are the women currently doing the 100 lbs in 7 Month Challenge. Each has a blog, so be sure to visit each of them. Use the comment link at the bottom of their latest post to leave them an encouraging comment. There are others doing the program, but they have to hit their 8th week or first 40 lbs gone before officially being part of the Next Jess Team.

Melody is next in line to win the 100 lbs in 7 Month Challenge on Feb 1st. She has had food problems throughout this journey, so to have lost this much weight, this fast, is pretty remarkable. But then that's the power of our RFBC diet.

Shanni had some major medical issues (not from our diet) in October that set her back,and yet look at those numbers. She kept her food clean and walked when she could. We are all very proud of her.

These women are going after their 100 lbs in 8 months. They won't get the money, but they will get the six free months of support. They are not maintaining blogs. If however, they do lose the 100 lbs in 7 months, they will get the money.

NorCalGal holds the record for most weight loss in 8 weeks! Over 50 lbs. But vacations got to her early on, and them some other trips. She's on track for the 8 months though, and should get that easily.

Candoe got behind in our challenge, just slightly, she is determined to do this. And we don't doubt for a minute that she will.

Daun had major surgery during her third month at camp, and then was on a doctor's ordered diet that did not support weight loss. She kept pushing though, and didn't go so much as a bite over on the cooked food she was told to eat. The 8 month challenge should be easy for her.

About Jess

Hi! My name is Jess. I am a mother of two young children and wife. I work fifty hours a week and commute two hours a day. During my last pregnancy I gained fifty pounds and I haven't taken it off. I think that my current weight problem is a result of not exercising and too much eating out. Before I started Raw Food Boot Camp, I wasn't exercising at all. I am part of the 100 pounds in seven month challenge. This diet is a learning process as everyone needs to find out how many calories they need and how much exercise for optimal weightloss. Right now, I eat 1200 calories a day and walk 1 1/2 hours a day. 1200 calories may not sound like a lot, but it is a lot of food, and I never go hungry. I started out eating 1000 calories a day and walking an hour a day, but after two weeks my weightloss slowed way down. You may think that walking 1 1/2 hours a day is too much, but I usually take two walks. I am very excited to be here at Raw Food Boot Camp, and I feel like I've finally found the right combination of diet and exercise that works for me. I want to see fast results and I don't mind being strict with myself. RFBC not only addresses your eating and exercise habits, but also addresses the other behaviors that lead to weight gain.
