“I will talk about this any day because it was such a life-changer. When I reached out to Anne I was struggling to survive. I was beyond exhausted, working 10 hr days and taking care of 3 kids as a single mom. I wanted to set a better example for my kids and I needed to lose some weight and change my life. I went into this thinking I just need to lose some weight and start working out again. However, it turned out to be so much more than that.

My whole mindset changed, it wasn’t my priority to be skinny or lose weight anymore. I started to love myself and my body and really make myself a priority. I was in Anne’s program for 6 months, and I didn’t lose a ton of weight initially. However I was so strong, I was learning new habits and how to be patient with myself and my body. My weight loss focus had changed and I just wanted to be the best version of myself at whatever size I was. Over the next few months of just learning to listen to my body I ended up losing 20 pounds without dieting.

This was one of the best investments I ever made for myself and if you are looking to really change your life for the better then go for it. It was super hard and emotional and scary but so worth it all. The ladies in the program were so supportive and helpful and I can honestly say that it’s worth every penny.

Some of the things that I took from the program that I still practice on a daily basis are daily meditation, journaling, checking with myself and of course movement. Seriously life-changing.”

“I know it is a big step to decide to work on your own self-improvement but I promise you won’t regret it. Anne and her team do a wonderful job of making you feel like you are in the driver’s seat of your health which allows you to graduate from the program feeling like you can keep these lessons in mind forever. I also wanted to work on my own personal self-improvement and it was great how I could design how I wanted my ideal day/journey through life to look. And there was no wrong answer. Whatever I thought would work best for me was it. It doesn’t feel like other programs are like that. It’s also really exciting how small wins pop up out of nowhere and before you know it you’ve reached something you never thought was possible months ago.”

“I was finding it very difficult to prioritize myself and my needs and was feeling stressed, anxious and defeated. Those feeling were overflowing into my interactions with my loved ones, as a result. I’ve always loved working out, but I had lost that passion and really wanted to find it again, so that I could work out consistently and enjoy it again.

M&M has helped me with that, but it has also really helped my mindset too. I tend to be a person who takes on way too much and has a hard time asking for help when I need it, but I’m learning to let go, trust the process, and let other people help me to lighten my load.”

“I had been struggling with my overall fitness/health for a while. I first approached Anne, after watching a gf’s incredible journey working with her. I repeated a few times that something was just missing. I had been working out, but I knew something was not right. So I reached out again, ready and committed to put in the work.

And it is work. It’s not easy. I’m working through back and hip pain, and the odd injury. But I value my new routine – my morning workout is my “me time”. I’m now doing some form of exercise 5-6 days a week. It’s just part of my lifestyle now. Now, if I’m too tired in the morning, I can take a day off without fear of falling off the wagon.

Nutrition continues to be a work in progress. After making significant changes in my diet, which includes a significant reduction in sugar intake, I am feeling better, especially in the sleep department. I continue to work in this area with available support and strategies.

Last September, I got bloodwork done for my new GP. Then last week, for work, I got more bloodwork done. I was curious to see what if any changes there were from then till now.

There were noticeable improvements, especially in the area of my heart health. This was a huge lightbulb moment for me. It’s not about the visual measurements – it’s about the ones that count.

All of this has been accomplished through not just my own hard work, but through the knowledge, encouragement and support from the entire Team at Anne Jones Fitness.”

“The BEST most helpful thing I have learned in all the educating I’ve done myself with healthy eating / intuitive eating was from our one session together. & that was just start my day with eating something. anything. cookies, candy, etc. it does not matter (permission to eat ANY thing). When I was able to connect that it wasn’t about necessarily about “being healthy” or “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” it was about initiating my hunger cues for the day. That was a game changer. and makes total sense: how does my body know when it is hungry when it hasn’t started eating. Now, I crave a bigger meal at breakfast. I am working myself up to something that is regularly nutritious and that is ok. because right now all I need is to give myself permission to eat.

Since doing this I have cut how much coffee I need, my afternoon crashes are less and I actually can go a longer period of time between my 3 meals and I have mostly stopped eating after dinner (mostly only time is when I am up super late working). & now that I gave myself permission to eat cookies for breakfast, I also started implementing eating the “unhealthy” food with meals instead of waiting until the end of the day to binge, which is actually where I try to teach my kids to do and they were never successful because I wasn’t either! it feels good to do it together! Super excited about it. It truly has transformed my thinking and hunger cues!”
