Marissa Orr's Success Story...She is not done yet!


I have so many GREAT clients and I want to start blogging about them (if they let me!). I hope you enjoy this success story and the many more to come
The client I am going to talk about today was one of my heaviest clients to date. I always say anyone can do this workout with a little modification here and there. This client has showed me and many others that ANYONE with dedication and heart can do what we do!

I am proud to announce Marissa Orr as my super star client this week! Marissa started in October and is still going strong today! She lives out of town and drives to SF 4 days a week at 6 AM and never misses! In the beginning she struggled but she has stuck with it and has lost 50.8lbs and is still losing. She is so amazing, she works hard in class, eats healthy at home and at work, she is always positive, and her will to succeed is outstanding. There were many moves she could not do in the beginning and because she never gives up, she is stronger and able to do what she thought she never could (or would)! We motivate and push her but she does the hard work and through her hard work and results she motivates and inspires us right back! We are so proud of her! Marissa is very lucky she has family, coworkers, and friends who are also very proud and very supportive! Keep up the great work and you will hit your personal goal soon!
Name: Marissa Orr
Weight Today: 262
B.I.F. Success: 50.8 lbs lost and 11+ inches
Goal Weight:180lbs is my ultimate goal that I would love to reach but I don't like to set goals with the fear that I will fail. My goal is to see that scale keep moving down from week to week.
What made you join B.I.F.? One of my high school friends is a member and I saw her before and after pictures on facebook. I also knew I had to do something to lose weight and get healthier. I was miserable at the weight I was at.
Why has it worked for you? I finally found something that works and that I wholeheartedly believe in. Jeff and Siobhan are GREAT, they motivate and push you to work harder. They are there to help you every step of the way. Also, the classes are all so different you never get bored.
What is your exercise routine? I work out 4 days a week and do what Jeff and Siobhan tell me to do. I am planning on also joining the Lennox gym to use the elliptical and treadmill to help me reach my goal. Before this I never exercised!
What was your motivation? I had actually let my self get to 300lbs and was so unhealthy and none of my clothes fit. My motivation now that I am actually in class is that every time week I weigh in I have lost weight. Some weeks are better than others but it has never stayed the same or gone up! I feel better than I have in years and I love hearing everyone say I am looking better everyday! Also none of my "big" clothes fit anymore...they fall off me!
How has this experience changed you or your life? I didn't think I could do it. I was so afraid to start this program with the fear of not being able to do it because I was so big. Now that I have done it and have lost 50lbs I know I can do anything!
Any Advise for future B.I.F. members? Even if you think you can't do it, you can!!! This program is FUN and CHALLENGING and you will LOVE it!
Thanks so much Marissa! We love how hard you work and are proud to help you with your body and life transformation!
