Case Study: Colette’s 28-Day Women’s Fitness Turnaround Story
Every few months we open up a new “28-Day Women’s Fitness Turnaround” program… Sometimes we use a different name, depending on the time of year, such as the “28-Day Spring-SCULPT” we’ll start in March – but the unique essence of these gentle fitness programs for women remains the same.
The intent of these short term programs focuses on 3 key goals:
1 – to introduce a woman to a revolutionary way of fitness that has NEVER existed before
2 – to allow her to feel improvements and positive changes within the first few weeks
3 – to rejuvenate her sense of self-confidence and enhanced quality of life through physical, mental and emotional improvements
We’ll go deeper into those areas in future articles, but for now, I want to share Colette’s inspiring story with you because this is something that may just motivate you, or a friend, into necessary POSITIVE ACTION…

Read on and you’ll see exactly why:

To the SCULPTAFIT Team,
“At 57 years of age, the time spent this past month with your organization has been amazing, and yet another attempt to lose weight and regain muscle tone, and self-confidence. Having tried many workout and fitness programs in years past, I can surely say SCULPTAFIT’s unique method and approach have been in a word, “incredible”!
Below is a synopsis of my life struggle with fitness & weight loss and how the last 28 day turnaround period has positively affected me:
Coming from a large Italian family, my family owned several restaurants, and food was a priority and viewed as a way to celebrate life, and console you. (NOT good).
At age 21, I joined the U.S. Navy, which was a traumatic culture change, one filled with integrating with various people from across the U.S. I found myself getting up at 5:00 A.M. daily, staring at complete strangers, embracing a regime of intense physical fitness, marching, and a host of activities that were so foreign to me.
I left Boot Camp fit and trim, after being forced into a regime I was never exposed to before. I was assigned to the Washington, D.C. area working in the Pentagon and feeling confident and inspired that I was doing something good for my life, serving my country, and finding my way.
At 27 I was married and we moved to Japan for two years. My husband was deployed and I was in a foreign country for the first time in my life alone, no family no comforts and food. I had some health issues and could not get pregnant. After 5 years of trying I had my daughter at the age of 32. The first pregnancy ended in a “C” Section, which left me considerably self-conscious with an “apron” scar as a result .
Filled with joy of being a mother, while still serving in the Navy, was a blessing and a curse at the same time. I had always wanted to be a mom, and the Navy, which used to be a major priority, was now an inconvenience and interruption for me to do what I ultimately wanted to do, and that was being a MOM. On the flip side, I again, put myself last.
I became pregnant two more times, I lost one baby due to medical complications, and six months later had a healthy baby girl, leaving me in awe of having two daughters to love and mentor, and serving my country. We moved several more times which meant stress and emotional eating.
Needless to say, having 3 C-Sections can do a number on your abdomen area, and simply never really recovered from them. I felt a sense of lost self-esteem, wearing baggy pants and shirts, etc., but somehow overlooked that, after all, I was a MOM! Again, I put me last.
As time progressed I retired from the Navy, after juggling schedules, etc., I paid attention to my daughters and husband, and tried several diets and exercise programs, but had minimal results. Despite my attempts to diet and do virtually every possible fitness regime possible, I simply couldn’t lose the weight.
After gaining a tremendous amount of weight and feeling self-conscious about how I looked and felt, I decided to have Gastric Sleeve Surgery, as somehow a last ditch effort to mitigate a life-long struggle with weight and fitness.
>> While the surgery went well, I lost 50 pounds, but quickly realized that the procedure was merely a tool, and if you didn’t watch your calorie intake, you can still gain weight, ugh! <<
Two years ago my mom, 87, came to live in the area, and now I am the caretaker for her, filled with daily runs to her facility, dealing with countless issues of insurance, health care, dementia, and all the while trying to provide dignity for my mom’s final chapter. During this time she broke her arm, I started doing everything wrong, emotional eating and, even began smoking again…. I was giving up -I felt hopeless.
While checking out FaceBook one day I saw a SCULPTAFIT video and Joey explaining about this gentle and focused approach to weight loss and fitness for women in my age group. I was encouraged and responded to the ad. I was moved by the silent voice to do something and not give up, having failed so many times in the past.
Since joining a month ago, I found SCULPTAFIT to be a new lease on life. It was precisely the regime, accountability, and motivation I needed to not only just get back on track, but to stay on track!
The team here is incredible, they are kind, considerate, and motivating. The results thus far have been amazing, and I find my body firming, my posture more upright and confident, and I FEEL TREMENDOUS!
I have rearranged the routine in my life because of it, and I make time for “ME”, changed my diet, and no longer buy junk foods or eat bad food that has plagued me for MY entire life.
Eating for substance and not entertainment is what I remind myself consistently. SCULPTAFIT is precisely what I needed, and I now aim to continue in this life-changing program, filled with a unique approach to fitness, without fear of hurting myself in the meantime.
After each session I feel alive, motivated, and proud of myself for taking control of my weight and making me a priority!
I’m hopeful that I will not only regain the confidence and form from earlier days, but also to be a testimony for this program, the team here, and for other women in the community who are struggling as well with self-esteem, premature aging, being out of shape, and or have simply lost hope. Women must know… THERE IS HOPE!
I thank you all for giving me a new lease on life!
Looking forward to even more progress here at SCULPTAFIT” 🙂
