Fitness Success Stories

Recruit Erica Cuthbert(30). Selected as a body-transformation model for The Original Boot Camp workout book , Cat Smiley offered daily personal training sessions and The Original Boot Camp for eight weeks. During this time Erica lost 35lbs and 34 inches.

"I have always struggled with my weight and been extremely self-conscious about it. I never dieted. I would get fit with spurts of fad exercise programs, lose some weight and put it all back on later. When I enlisted in The Original Boot Camp, I knew it was time to finally shape up - but I never thought I would get the results I did.

My only goal on the first day was to get through it. But little did I know that my muscles had completely forgotten how to work that hard. By the next Wednesday I couldn't squat down on the toilet or go down the stairs. I spent a lot of time at night with my legs elevated and wrapped in ice packs. I got up the next morning and the following mornings after that and kept at it, I sweated and huffed and puffed.

But I kept telling myself not to quit, even though I thought that lifting a 10lb weight was impossible and I couldnt run for 3 minutes without stopping. I stuck with it and went from a size 16 to a size 6, utterly transforming my body and mind. If a "lifetime chubby girl" like me can do it, so can you! "
