I have been a member of fit challenge since the end of March and went from a size 10/12 to a size 6. It is now the month of June and I feel great. I had heard of people coming in and being yelled at but I was determined to not let that bother me. I wanted the weight off and that is all that mattered. I remember sitting in the orientation and we were getting yelled at but Gwen said something that has stuck with me (this was after she put another lady out for asking crazy questions) She said if you make this whole thing about me or what I say then you are going to fail....it took me back to my navy bootcamp where I had heard something similar. I was off the streets and needed discipline so I could progress. They tore us down and built us back up. That is Gwen's strategy. Her one and only concern for us is that we LOSE THE WEIGHT. I have read all of the reviews and I feel for those that felt negative about her. It is not her job to pat us on the back and nurse us through this...most people won't admit that they have psychological problems to go along with the fat that has accumulated on their bodies so no one can tell them anything. Once we get past our own abuses and quit with the victim mentality we can see that it was not Gwen that sat on the couch night after night shoving icecream down our throats or in those booths at restaurants shoving endless plates of shrimp in our guts it was US! To her defense, I can't imagine what it is like to come into a place everyday where people whine and complain like you made them that way. People don't talk about times where the clients come in moody and rude to her and the staff...I would kick people out too...lol...Needless to say I just want to thank Gwen and Fit challenge for pushing me and showing me that there is more inside of me than I think...I am now thin, fit and very healthy. (not to mention beautiful as all get out!) That's all that counts.
Pros: Excellent weight loss strategy, attitude adjustment
