It Doesn’t Matter What The Scale Says!

Colleen Pounds,

Physical Therapist Assistant

Weight Scales lie!

My victory can be seen but not weighed, and it feels good.

Before RobZFitness, like so many others, I habitually stepped on the scale. My Personal Trainer immediately began drilling into my head to “Stay off of the scale”, explaining that it often gives false impressions of what really happens, which leaves people feeling defeated and depressed. Through the Education component of the RobZFitness program I learned that the only reason scale-weight is needed is to help calculate one’s Fat-to-Muscle Mass ratio. Herein lay my victory.

If I were to tell you that from May to September I lost 13.5 pounds, you might not be impressed? However, here is the big picture. Within these four months, I lost 29 lbs of body fat, gained 15.5 lbs of lean muscle mass, dropped from a size 16 to 10 and decreased my body fat from 37% to 22%! This is what I actually achieved with the in-depth education of fitness and nutrition given to me at RobZFitness.

I feel very confident that I now have the tools to maintain my results, my strength and my nutritional habits for a lifetime.

Thanks gang!

Lost 70 lbs

Body Fat 36.4% to 22.6%

Lost 14% Body Fat

Last December, my husband approached me about us setting a goal of getting healthier in 2023. So, we made an appointment to talk to Rob at RobZFitness, who was recommended to him by our primary care physician Dr. Shawn Wallace. Upon meeting with Rob, we both decided it was time to commit to a healthier way of life. With the help of Rob and Taylor, and the support of each other, we have lost about 170 pounds total over the last 8-10 months. I have lost 70 pounds and lost 14% body fat in 10 month. My overall fitness level was at 15% when I started and now its at 88% for women at my age.

Like a lot of women, I have struggled with my weight all my life, especially after kids. This time my weight loss feels different. I wasn’t sure what to expect in the beginning, but I am surprised at how much stronger I’ve become, and the weight seem to just come off, losing an average of 2 pounds a week. I am 5’10 and I haven’t weighed under 200lbs in years. Now I weigh 195. With Rob and Taylor’s encouragement, I am pushing myself to get stronger and doing exercises I never thought I could accomplish. I have a few limitations with my knees but both Rob and Taylor worked around it and still push me to get stronger.  

Rob focused more on strengthening during his sessions and I am lifting amounts I never imagined. Taylor designated Wednesdays as Carolyn’s Core night. With his help, I am doing core exercises that I never thought I was capable of. With the support of Rob, Taylor and my husband who encouraged me all the way, I am stronger and healthier than I’ve been in a long time.  

Thank you for helping me get stronger and healthier.

Lost 104 lbs in 8 Months

December 2022 I had my annual physical with Dr Wallace at TGH. He told me I needed to lose weight and the older I get I should weight train to build muscle for long-term health. The prior 3 years through COVID, I put on 50+ pounds. Dr. Wallace suggested that I talk to Rob at RobZFitness. He mentioned Rob was a friend of his and he and Taylor would help me lose weight and gain the needed muscle through their program. 

The week before Christmas my wife and I discussed our health and we decided to reach out to Rob to see what his program would offer. We soon committed to join RobZFitness for the entire 2023 year. Turned out to be one of the best investment decisions we have made. 

My intention was never to lose 100 pounds, my goal was only to get into better shape. We started to train with Rob and Taylor on a weekly basis (3xweek). As part of the program, I also started to track my daily nutritional information. Within the first month I started to see big results on the scale. Nutrition tracking and the additional cardio work I was doing on my own and I was started to physically feel much better. 

By May 2023, I had lost 70 pounds and felt amazingly better, looked completely different and started to wonder if I could maybe lose 100 pounds.  By the end of July I was down 90 pounds. Then almost exactly 8 months to the day, I hit the milestone of losing 104 pounds. Starting weight was 286 now 182lbs, I have lost 10” off my chest, 9” around waist and 4” around my thighs. I improved my fitness level for men at my age from 4% to 94%.

Having lost all the excess weight and consulting with Rob the goal now is to gain more muscle weight while keeping my body fat down. I’m looking forward to this next chapter of training at RobZFitness and the results it will produce. 

Thank you to my wife, Rob and Taylor for all their support in helping me reach this accomplishment.
