Hi, JoLynn here.

I started The Fit Shack in March 2007, initially to spread the word about the confusing ingredients in processed foods that many don’t realize are quite addictive - sure, they taste great, but their purpose is to keep ya comin’ back for more.

The Fit Shack has continued to evolve just like I have continued to evolve and while I’ve been undergoing massive personal growth lately, The Fit Shack has grown, too. Today it’s about conscious fitness, which still includes the topic of the body (having knowledge of what you are putting into your body, making conscious healthy choices instead of choosing toxic foods), as well as the mind (you must change your thoughts if you want long term success with weight maintenance), and the spirit (you are a spiritual being living in a physical body - how could you ever leave this piece of the puzzle out? ).

I’ve been there and done that when it comes to trying all of the quick fixes, the diet promises, and the exercise machine gimmicks. I’ve tried it all and then some and the only thing that has worked for me is losing weight from the inside out - incorporating the full mind, body, and spirit transformation in order to not only lose weight but keep it off.

I did have wonderful success with the 6-Week Body Makeover program in 2004 when I lost 43.5 pounds, expanded my energy and enthusiasm for life, and got down to a healthy weight of 128. I kept that weight off for over a year and the only piece of the puzzle I hadn’t incorporated yet was the full mind/emotional connection, which is a major part of losing weight from the inside out. I regained about 30 of those pounds and since then have been using my experience as an experiment to reach where I am today on my journey with conscious fitness. At this time (Jan 2008) I am in the process of dropping those last 20 pounds.

Additonally, I’m an American consumer interested in knowing what’s in the food that I buy, an excellent researcher, a believer in the human potential and the human spirit, as well as someone who is passionate about staying focused on all that is good in the world. I believe in promoting health and fitness for the body, mind, and spirit. I also advocate creating a healthy lifestyle instead of the quick fix diets that never work. I am not a doctor, physical trainer, or psychologist and even if I were I would still advise you to seek the advice of your own doctor for your medical needs.

I also help people who have tried every diet in the world but still cannot seem to get motivated and stay motivated to lose weight and keep it off. I only help those who are ready to change though, and not everyone is at that point in their life, which is perfectly alright (hey, I’ve been there before!).

If you are ready to change, get out of the past, and jump into happiness and health then you can find out more by requesting a complimentary weight loss strategy session with me. This is only for those who are done collecting diet and exercise advice, for those who are really ready to go for it and take action.

My Wish For You…

My wish for you is that you reach your own weight loss and fitness goals, that you effortlessly maintain your weight loss for life and completely give up the back and forth struggle with food and weight.

I wish that you feel awesome about yourself and your life, that you love your body, your mind, your spirit, and that you treat yourself like you treat your own best friend.

I wish you total abundance in all areas of your life - your health, relationships, finances, work, home, family….that you surround yourself with loving, supportive people who have your best interests at heart. May your entire life experience shine and overflow with an abundance of all of the good stuff that is just waiting for you to receive it. Shine On!
