July 08, 2009 I have received some amazing reviews from my new clients and thought I would share them with you, but before I do I want to talk about the movie MEET THE ROBINSONS. Okay, yes, it is an animated flick that is supposed to be for kids. I had never seen it before but the other night when I couldn't sleep it was on and I watched it. It could have been written for all of us who struggle with our weight and life long dieting. In the movie a young orphan boy who has invented a machine that can show visually lost memories is transported to the future where he meets the Robinson family. The father is not there, but he is responsible for all the wonderful inventions of the future and has a very eccentric family. At the dinner table the orphan boy is asked to fix an invention of the fathers that equally disperses peanut butter and jelly. He tries and when he goes to use it, P&B shoots everywhere. He is so distraught. He so desperately wanted this family to like him. When they see the mess they all start clapping and congratulating him. "I don't understand. I failed." The mom looks at him and says. "We know, congratulations." "But it didn't work," he says. "No one ever learns from success. It is failing that teaches us and lets us move forward." I paraphrased so forgive me, but that is the gist of the movie. Failure is a positive thing, but it is important to always be moving forward to not use the failure to give up, but instead learn from it and move forward. That is exactly what we talk about all the time in the new 6 Week Intro Program. How to take every failure we have today and in the past to use it to understand how to reach the success we want. Hopefully that is the end of my touting this movie. I just love it when I see something so simple that applies to us so aptly. Every week I talk with at least once client who had a tough time and wonders whether they have it in them to succeed. I too find myself congratulating them for their failures because each one seems to have less of an impact than the last and each one reveals a new insight into what it is that has kept them heavy. The best part, the part that makes me love this program is that each of them chooses to keep moving forward. Reviews... Rdlsstrvld... I have tried Weight Watchers, personal trainers, you name it. I was willing to pay whatever amount of money was necessary to look and feel better. It wasn't until I met Carlene that I realized what was missing with all of those options for weight loss. She brought me to my ah ha moment. I have always been a huge fan of the show Biggest Loser and if you've ever watched the show, I'm sure you've said to yourself, "I wish I had a Bob or Jillian to train me." Having worked with Carlene, I've now realized what I like about the show is the dynamics between the contestants and their trainer. They're supportive and encourage their clients from beginning to end, but they're also firm...always holding them accountable... challenging them to find their inner strength and really raise the bar. That's exactly what Carlene does. She genuinely cares, but she also helps to peel the layers and really understand and recognize your inner struggle. When you've spent years doing everything in your power to avoid looking at yourself, for someone to expect you to be disciplined enough to completely change your diet and pop out of bed and exercise daily without dissecting the emotional aspect of the problem, they're living in a dream world--it simply won't work, which is why so many of us fail over and over. Carlene gets that. She helps you work through these life long challenges by creating realistic goals with food and exercise. But more importantly, Carlene guides you by helping you recognize, reveal, and work through the road blocks that have prevented you from a happy, healthy life. If you really want to get to the root of the problem and make a permanent life change that works with your day to day living--this program is perfect for you. If you're a person that has avoided looking in the mirror for a long time, I will tell you...her program isn't a piece of cake (pun intended), but unlike other programs, she helps you understand the psychology behind all of the decisions you've made, which I now realize is the most critical part. She has completely changed my attitude and the way I approach my overall health. This is the first time in my life that I can honestly say to myself that this lifestyle change will be permanent. It's a great feeling.
Thanks Carlene.
Stargazer... When I approached Carlene to enter this new program, she was a known quantity to me and I to her--I've been down the raw path for a few years now, always doing well for weeks and even months, and then hitting road blocks that sent me back to old ways of eating and living. This time around, things have been different, and I've not only lost weight and kept it off, but I've been able to maintain a solid plan of eating that has included foods I enjoy, both raw and cooked, even in the midst of the biggest road block ever--halfway through my six weeks I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and with Carlene's help and my own positive experience with this program, I've been able to deal with all the medical 'stuff' and still stick to this program. While there are issues of fatigue and huge emotional swings, I'm not dealing with them through food--and that's a first! There ARE other ways of dealing with the things life throws at me, and I'm so glad that the food can take its proper place in my life. I'm moving on into the next four weeks with a lot more hope than I could have imagined in this situation. Thanks, Carlene!
DCBerry78... This program has been an answer to a prayer and a definite means to an end; the end of my weight loss ups and downs forever. When I first started, I had such anxiety if I had to think about food but that is what led to a life of obesity. I never took the time to think about food until I was sitting in front a fast food drive thru speaker. When I first talked to Carlene, she said, "I want you to think about everything your eating now so you don't have to obsess about it for the rest of your life." Now, making healthy choices has become a way of life. It's not a diet to me anymore, it's just the way I live. My snacking now is fruit instead of chips, chocolate, etc. I have fleeting thoughts about bad foods but I am confident enough in myself now to remember that my health is most important. You truly are my "angel" Carlene. Thank you!
Zoe... Thank you so much for your inspiring and encouraging words Carlene, and thank you even more for coming up with this magnificent program which as far as I can see has so clearly evolved from your passion, dedication, heaps of work - way beyond the call of duty, hard-earned experience, wisdom and (tough when needed) compassion. You know how full of gratitude I feel to be a part of it, not least because I can truly see how extraordinary it is and what a precious thing you're offering to anyone who chooses to open the door of the prison they've locked themselves in and walk out into a new life. What could be more important than that? I've continued to be both surprised and gratified by the consistent results I've been experiencing while on this program. I can honestly say that I now eat to live - and that's from someone who lived to eat for so much of her life and had never managed to find a way out of that. The combined elements this program provides have, quite simply, enabled me to not only turn the page, but open a whole new book! Between being able to co-create an eating plan that I continue to tailor to my own needs and preferences, the massive shift I was able to make while completing the enlightening exercises in the Fat Brain Lies workbook, and being on the receiving end of Carlene's guidance, know-how and unwavering support, I feel so fortunate and appreciative to have found something I'm actually enjoying rather than struggling with, as I watch a wonderful new life unfolding before me day by day.
I want to thank you for your program. I really benefited from your coaching. It was exactly what I needed. When I started I really had no idea what to expect. I had never done anything like it before. I really needed someone who was totally unbiased to keep me in line and accountable. Since we stopped the coaching I have lost 2 more pounds!! I really have no doubts that is something I can continue on my own. All the advice you gave me was right on track even though some of it I did not want to hear at the time! I can still hear your encouragement in my head. I think when that stops I will be back. Tigerlillynyc.. How do I spell SUCCESS? CARLENEJONES.COM . I have been dieting since I am 8 years old. I have been up and I have been down. But, I have never felt in control until now. I owe my success to Carlene Jones. Carlene has taught me how to eat what I want and still lose weight. I never feel deprived. I feel healthy and in control of my destiny for the first time in my life. I started my journey with Carlene at Raw Food Boot Camp and was successful but could not sustain that way of eating. I am very head strong and stubborn. Carlene can attest to this. I really got my monies worth with this program. It was not only a learning process in what foods I should eat but showed me just how stubborn I am and now I know why I stand in my own way. I feel as if my body and mind are working together in harmony for the first time in my life. Find Your Perfect Diet - 6 Week Program I have been trying to put together a 6 week group based program based off my one-on-one private support program, but need to have a minimum of 10 members to do it. If you are interested in a group based program email me. I will direct you to a webpage that will tell you more about it. Hopefully we can get something going. I am very excited about the concept. You can choose to do raw, high raw, or just good old healthy food. Each type of eating is supported. What I have learned over the years is that although raw is a very healthy diet and offers fast weight loss, most habitually obese men and women can't sustain it. This six week program is designed to help you find just how healthy you can go food wise and still feel satisfied. Too many RFBC members have quit because they feel being 100% raw is like being in food prison, or they just want to eat like a normal person, so they quit and instead of going to a healthy diet they can continue to lose weight on, they just give up and gain the weight back. My new approach is to get you to love the new diet with as much raw food as you want or don't want ad then let you take that new diet and turn it into a weight loss diet that you can take all the way to goal. This really works. One of my new clients actually got teary when I told her what we were going to do. I asked her why and she said it was because she couldn't believe she hadn't thought of this herself. All those years wasted trying to fit into a diet she just couldn't do. Now she is creating a diet that incorporates all her favorite raw foods without that harsh all or nothing barrier and is already feeling more in control. I love this new program. It is as if finally after all these years of helping people I have found that golden key. Sure I'm still a little tough, and I push for steadfastness and exercise, but now my focus is on you finding the balance and satisfaction you have always felt was out of your grasp. One-on-One 6 Week Intro Program... $199 for Six Week Intro Program with 2X a week phone support and daily emails. Click here for more info. You must be 75 lbs overweight to be in this program. This is the very successful program I am offering to all obese men and women regardless of their dieting history. It is very personal with twice a week phone calls and tweaking of your program for life-long success. This program is only open to those with over 75 lbs to lose and who are willing to have an open mind toward change. This first six weeks is not a fast weight loss program, it is a reality check, a way of coming to terms with what you are honestly willing and able to do to achieve your goals. Together we work at your pace and design a plan that fits into your life instead of you trying to fit your life around the program. I have to admit this is my favorite support option as it allows me to really connect with my clients and help them through the day to day hiccups that normally would derail them. The perfect day to start taking control of your relationship with food will never arrive, so why not make it today? If you want to help me reach more of the obese community and offer hope to those who think surgery is their only answer, please put a link to my sites on your blog, on your own website, anywhere to help create an organically growing back link list for me.
