Brian Bill-MFC Client

I had seen Noel in the gym over the years and had said hello in passing a few times. She was in terrific shape! Something told me she had the answers I was after. I was at a point where I was getting a procedure done to close the veins in my legs, and was told I would need to take it easy in the gym for a couple months. So right before I had the procedure done, I approached Noel with my situation and asked what I could do to “stay in shape” (which I laugh about now, because I don’t think I was anywhere near in shape. Big, maybe. But in shape?). Her first question was about my diet. My answer was foolish, and I find a lot of people say this, “I know how to eat good/healthy. My diet is fine.” And by that I meant I only ate Taco Bell, pizza, chicken wings/fries, subway and Chinese ONCE a week (every week). The rest of the time I was eating processed foods, chicken (in large quantities) and various “good” foods. That’s why I was a whopping 245 lbs.
            Once she told me that she helps others to attain what she has, I was in. Once starting with MFC, I learned quickly that by just changing what I put in my body and HOW MUCH lost me about 10lbs a month! No quick dieting, no nonsense, no pre-packaged weight loss foods. I simply listened to what Noel said and ate normal foods that I chose. Of course I had the teasing from coworkers and peers (who are not in the best shape) about not getting to eat this or that, or questioning what I was eating and if it was part of my “diet”. It can get on your nerves. But I had a goal and nothing was going to stop me. My response to that now is, “Yeah, but I enjoy THIS body” and they shut right up.
I get asked a lot if it has been hard. Of course! Nothing worth having comes easy. Noel said this to me, “If it were easy, everyone would be walking around with six pack abs and lean bodies”! But I had been weight training for 11 years before meeting Noel, and I’ve had greater success and far superior results in the past 6 months than all that time! For me, it has been easier to do HER program than MINE. I say this because I was doing cardio almost every day (and not just light cardio. I’m talking gut wrenching, sweat pouring cardio) and weight training for 2 hours a day. And yet, I stood at 245 lbs and chubby. It’s much harder to spin your wheels with no results than work hard and get results…fast. I’m looking better now than I ever have, but I’m so excited about reaching the next level of fitness that I try even harder every day to be a better me. And I have most definitely learned about good nutrition, making smarter choices with food, and self-control thanks to Noel.
And to top it all off, MFC helped my fiancé reach her goals and feel better about her self, and my mother will soon be a client of MFC. How exciting is that! I can only imagine the changes she will go through and I can’t wait to read her story!
