The 1st Fat Loss Challenge

This one is judged on showing up as much as it's judged on the scale. Four weeks, your own personalized plan, a daily proof-of-work check-in, a small group pulling for you, and a real prize at the end. Cohorts start Monday.

Same plan I build for every 4 Week Fat Loss client, plus the Challenge on top. No separate charge.

How it works

Four weeks, one text a day, a group watching

Built around the same idea I use with every client: small, provable wins beat a plan you can't sustain.

01

Daily check-in, with proof

Text a photo of your meals and a photo of your workout every day, plus one line about how it went. Not a log you fill out from memory. Proof. That's what keeps the streak honest.

02

Tell Your Five — mandatory

One text to five people who'll know you're doing this. They don't have to join. They just have to know. It's part of enrollment, not an optional add-on. Pressure makes diamonds.

03

A real prize

I score consistency and progress together, so someone can win on showing up alone. I pick the winner myself at the end of week four.

04

A group, not a solo project

You'll get access to a private community for the cohort plus live calls with me during the four weeks. Your invite lands right after you enroll.

You don't talk yourself into believing you're capable. You prove it to yourself, one small action at a time, until your brain runs out of arguments.

Why the streak matters more than the scale

Two bonuses, this cohort only

Show up loud, get rewarded for it

Bonus points: posting your progress to Instagram or Facebook and tagging it earns extra points toward the prize. Never required, always worth it.

First 10 people in: a free month of Daily Coaching added on top, no extra charge. Once cohort 1 fills those 10 spots, this bonus is gone.

What you actually get

Not a generic challenge. Your plan, with a Challenge built on top.

This is the same Customized 4-Week Fat Loss Plan I build for every client — personally reviewed and built by me from your goals, schedule, food preferences, training experience, and the reasons consistency hasn't stuck before. The Challenge adds the daily proof, the group, and the prize.

Nutrition

Nutrition Blueprint

Infinitely better than a generic meal plan.
  • Personalized calorie and protein targets
  • Sample days built around foods you already enjoy
  • Flexible structure for restaurants, travel, and nights out
  • Foods you thought were "off limits" strategically included
  • Built for sustainability, not perfection
Training

4-Week Training Program

Video-guided, built around your body and your equipment.
  • Customized to your equipment and environment
  • Built around injuries, limitations, and pain points
  • Matched to your experience level
  • Video guidance on every movement, no guessing on form
  • Progressive without being overwhelming
Challenge layer

Daily Accountability

The part that makes this a Challenge and not just a plan.
  • Daily check-in text with proof of meals and workout
  • Streak and points tracking, visible the whole way
  • Tell Your Five, mandatory at enrollment
  • Private community group and live calls
  • Bonus points for public accountability on social
Real client proof

Different people. Different lives. Real change.

The plan underneath this Challenge is the same one that's already done this.

Maria transformation
100+ lbs lost

Maria stopped starting over.

Not a perfect diet or a short burst of motivation. Structure, consistency, and a plan she could keep coming back to.

Jose transformation
50+ reset

Jose proved it's not about age.

His result came from the right structure, improving consistency, and finally giving his body a system it could respond to.

Kyle transformation
Momentum

Kyle found a plan that felt doable.

Not extreme. Not chaotic. Just clear enough to follow and repeat.

Jenny transformation
100 lbs lost

Jenny changed more than the scale.

The way you carry yourself, feel in your body, and move through life changes too.

What happens next

From enrollment to day one

01

You enroll and complete the assessment.

The questions go deeper than basic stats so I can understand where your plan really needs to start.

02

I build your 4-week plan.

Nutrition, training, and habits, organized into a clear starting structure, personally built by me.

03

Your cohort starts Monday.

You send Tell Your Five, you get your check-in number, and the daily proof-of-work starts. I'm watching the whole way.

Common questions

Before you decide

Is Tell Your Five really mandatory?

Yes. It's one text to five people who'll know you're doing this. They don't join, they don't have to do anything. It's there because accountability works, and this Challenge is built on accountability.

What if I've failed at this before?

That's exactly why this exists. The goal isn't another temporary reset. It's understanding where previous attempts broke down and building a structure that fits your real life, with people watching you follow through this time.

What counts as proof on a check-in?

A photo of what you ate and a photo of your workout, plus one line about your day. Takes under a minute. That's what keeps the streak, and the leaderboard, honest.

What do I actually win?

I score consistency and progress together at the end of week four, so someone can win on showing up alone, not just the biggest scale change. I pick the winner myself.

Do I need a gym membership?

No. Your training program is built around your actual environment, whether that's a gym, home gym, dumbbells, or bodyweight training, and it comes with video guidance.

What happens after the 4 weeks?

You'll have a repeatable system you can keep using. If you want to continue with Daily Coaching afterward, you'll have the option, but there's no obligation.

Final step

Cohort 1 starts Monday. Enrollment closes when it fills.

Personalized nutrition, video-guided training, daily proof-of-work, a group holding you to it, and a real prize for showing up.
