Philosophy:
“I believe in achieving dreams, challenging one’s individual limits, training hard and becoming the best that you can be. When you make a commitment and focus your mind on any endeavor, anything is possible. Fitness can make you feel alive and take you beyond your wildest dreams.Anybody, given the proper guidance, motivation and support, can aspire and soar to new heights! Satisfaction guaranteed! I couldn’t ask for a better career. To know that I’ve played a small part, directly or indirectly, in helping someone become more healthy and fit is about as rewarding as it gets.”

Hello Sherri,
I’m looking for help on losing a large amount of weight, around 60-80 pounds, which I know can’t happen overnight since obviously I didn’t gain the weight overnight. I have knee injuries among other disabilities and hypothyroidism yet take medications which has made me gain lots of weight. My diet is about 75% whole and healthy. I don’t exercise much but work two jobs. I’m desperate for a solution if you can please email me. Thanks!
Hi Meg,
I apologize that it has taken me a couple days to get back to you, but I wanted to make sure that I gave you an insightful and helpful response…so I asked one of my expert trainers Derrick deLay to help. Here is what he had to say.
“In order to be a successful weight loser you need to know and understand these four things:
1) You can’t eat more calories than you need on a consistent basis and be underweight.
2) You can’t eat fewer calories than you need on a consistent basis and be overweight.
3) The problem isn’t that you don’t know what to do to lose weight.
4) The problem is that you aren’t doing it-Consistently.
The great challenge is doing what you need to do to lose weight (eating less and exercising more) consistently.
Things to consider:
Calorie Density vs. Nutrient Density- You need calories for energy and nutrients for health. You are getting enough calories. Focus on getting more nutrients. How do you get more nutrients?
Eat colors. Eat copious amounts of different colored fruits and vegetables. They are low in calories and high in nutrients.
Eat at least 6 servings of vegetables a day. A serving of cooked veggies is half a cup. A serving of raw veggies is 1 cup.
Eat at least 5 servings of fruit a day. A serving is 1 cup.
Butter, margarine, olive oil or any other oil or fat is almost all calories and no nutrients. Eliminate added fats (don’t put butter or margarine on your toast) and avoid fats in foods. Lower fat equals fewer calories.
Reduce the amount of meat and dairy in your diet. Meat and dairy products, especially cheese, is high in calories and low in nutrients. Plus, foods of animal origin are strongly associated with things like: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, obesity, gout, etc.
The plan is to:
Exercise for 30 minutes 5 times a week. If you aren’t doing this bare minimum you are putting yourself at risk of developing diseases associated with sedentary living.
Eating a low calorie diet. Creating a caloric deficit is the only way to lose weight. (Remember, you can’t overeat and be underweight.)
Daily tasks
You will only reach your weight loss goals if you are consistent. You must take care of today because you are the product of your past actions. If you want to be different you have to do different. The best time to start eating healthy with your weight loss goals and grandchildren in mind was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. Take care of today and you take care of your tomorrow. You can take care of today and tomorrow by doing 3 easy things.
1. Eat healthy, goal supportive foods
2. Keep a food log
3. Plan healthy, goal supportive meals for the following day
Tips, Tricks and Strategies
Keep a food log
Use smaller plates
Fill your plate with veggies
Eliminate and avoid processed fats and oils
Eat breakfast and dinner in the same quiet place everyday
Keep a food log
Eat slowly and enjoy your food
Drink water before you eat
Purge your kitchen of diet sabotaging foods and drinks
Keep a food log
Plan meals in advance
Prepare snacks in advance
Pack meals and snacks with you
Find the calorie content of 2-4 restaurant meals so you can stay on plan when you eat out.
Did I mention-Keep a food log?”
If you are local…please come see us at one of our studios. We would love to help you further on this journey!
Sherri,
Subject: Sherri vs. Jillian Michaels!
I saw/read the e-mail header entitled Me (Sherri) vs Jillian M
You need not compare your self to a TV personality-you are by far a fabulos woman, business owner and mom in your own right. Remember, what you see in front of the TV or camera is by far not what you see behind the lens. Recall the scene from the Wizard of Oz, where the Wizard was behind the curtin pulling all the strings-just an illision. You are and remain for real. Take Care

Wow Greg. So sweet! Thanks for taking the time to write this to me. Take care!
