And when it didn’t work, I would become so anxious to lose weight (even if it was only 5 pounds!) that I would start some crazy strict plan, detox, or cleanse. Sometimes I would actually be able to follow them for a few months and get great results, but I could never, ever, maintain them. I was either plugging every calorie into a calorie counter or an excel spreadsheet and working out like a fiend, or I was eating everything that I would deprive myself of until “starting again on Monday”.
It was exhausting, both mentally and physically, but I never trusted that doing less – less exercise, less calculating, less stress, would actually help me to reach my goals.

Once I started studying more about the hormonal effects of food and exercise on fat loss, and putting what I learned into practice, did things start to click.
It turned out that although I was eating “healthy”, I wasn’t eating for fat loss. Although I was strength training and doing cardio 5-6 times per week, I wasn’t strength training and doing cardio for fat loss. There is a HUGE difference, and this is just one of the things I want to teach you in the LEAN Life Coaching group, if in fact fat loss is your goal – and TOTALLY cool if it’s not! One of the biggest rewards I’ve gotten from taking a HUGE step back from being so restrictive is a much improved relationship with food AND exercise. So if that is something you’re looking to do, you’ve come to the right place ?
I also never focused on what I now think is the most important part of fat loss, my mindset. My awareness, my habits, my thoughts….and we do a LOT of this work in the group.
None of us need MORE information. We already have all we need. Lord knows I did! What we focus on is putting what we KNOW into ACTION. Small, consistent choices made over time is really where the magic happens.
You do NOT have to do this ^ I promise ?
I want to teach you how to live a Lifestyle of Efficient Exercise and Automated Nutrition for sustainable fat loss, better performance, more consistency with your workouts and nutrition and developing a relationship with food so that you don’t feel the need to “start over” time and time again (like I did).
I want to teach you how to live your version of the LEAN life. To become more aware, to work on building new habits and getting rid of the old, all while staying positive and focusing on what you do have instead of what you think you don’t.
You’ll learn how to fuel your body with foods that will kick-start some major fat burning, and to exercise in a way that will do the same. We’ll focus on the role hormones play in our lives (and believe me, they continually change), not just the old way of “calories in versus calories out” – which like I said before, doesn’t work long term for the majority of us.

Who Is The LEAN Life Coaching Group NOT For?
[/text_block]
- Anyone unwilling to put the work in, both in the kitchen and with their mindset, to create a foundation for a lifestyle change. Like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it!
- Anyone who is looking to lose weight fast. This is not a quick fix.
- Anyone who wants to be told exactly what to eat and when to eat it. You will be guided through this, but it is not a “here take this” type of program. You will be responsible for making your own choices and creating your own meals. There will be recipes and suggested meal plans, but it will only work if you listen to your body, not my meal plan.
- Anyone training for a figure competition or physique contest of any kind. This is a lifestyle, not a competition prep plan.

“I’m so happy I took pictures because it really shows that hard work pays off!! I literally have not worked out LESS in my entire life and gotten better results. Starting weight in July was 154.. Weight today (January 9th).. 143. 11 lbs total! I look and feel better than I ever have. After having my second baby I lost some weight and then was just stuck and now I’ve lost that much more weight just by making small changes. I TRY to get workouts in when I can and with my busy schedule sometimes I don’t or I do a 10 minute video. I don’t feel guilty about it either because I’m making better food choices! I used to do endless hours of cardio & eat foods that were doing nothing to fuel fat loss. I was stuck at a weight for the longest time. Keri’s group has been eye opening for me & has really made me appreciate my body! I don’t go by what the scale says anymore and I rely on how I feel and how my clothes fit. Thank you so much for all of the advice and support!!”[/text_block]

“I want to share with you before and after pics from two months ago when I started your program. I was hesitant to take these pictures because honestly I wasn’t expecting to see much change. I’ve worked out LESS, but by focusing on your strength workouts and not doing as much group fitness at the gym, I’m really starting to see some changes! The adjustments I have made already have given me more energy. I use to feel like I needed a nap midday and that’s no longer the case! Thanks for all the sound advice. I love learning from you and the girls in this group. It’s been such a positive support system!”

“I really can’t say enough about what I have learned and gained from Lean in ’14. I weigh less and am stronger than I have ever been and I don’t go to the gym for hours or feel guilty for eating brownies….I don’t even belong to a gym! My workouts happen at home during nap time or with the kids right there with me, so they need to be quick and effective.
When I started, I just wanted to feel a bit more comfortable in a bathing suit after I had my second child….I honestly didn’t expect the results I got, especially because I don’t feel deprived AT ALL. I can still have wine, dessert and even bread…just not all at once and all the time like I used to.
Little changes like replacing my bowl (or okay maybe 2 bowls) of cereal every morning with a protein shake or eggs, lifting heavier weight and really just thinking about what I was eating and planning for splurges went a long way in terms of how I look and more importantly how I feel. I feel amazing, no more back/neck pain from carrying/lifting kids all day and lots more energy.”

“I just wanted to thank you for this program. It was EXACTLY what I needed. I was spending about two hours in the gym every night after work. I thought if I just walked instead of running I was giving up and my workout was a waste even when I lifted afterwards. For the amount of effort I was putting into it, I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted. My mom, ever so honest, even told me that she felt bad I worked out so much and couldn’t really tell. I knew a large part of it was my diet, but until working with you, I never realized how much of an effect what I was eating was having on me. I notice a significant change in my body, and I haven’t really lost much weight on the scale (maybe 2-3 pounds) but I feel so much better. I rarely, if ever, wore shorts, always felt like my legs were too big for my petite frame and I’ve worn them this summer and felt comfortable in them! Your honesty, the honesty of the women in the group and all of the support have been great! It’s nice that the group is so real and that people are honest about their struggles. Everyone builds each other up instead of putting you down or making you feel guilty. Thank you so much, Keri![/text_block]

“Yesterday I took a Zumba class and was told by a few people that I looked good! (I just saw them a few weeks ago). I’ve literally only lost maybe 2 more pounds but my clothes fit better and I feel stronger and other people are starting to notice! Someone actually said “wow! how much weight have you lost?!”[/text_block]
Diana M.
“I joined Keri’s Lean In Coaching group in May. Since that time, I have completely redefined the way that I look at food and exercise. I always knew what I “should” be eating. I’ve done other plans before that were food plans, and what they told me was obvious: cut out fat, cut down on bread, limit alcohol and work out every day. I would be told what to have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and two snacks. I would lose some weight, but would inevitably go back to my “regular” eating when the program ended. With Keri, she explains WHY certain foods are better than others and what effect hormones have on fat loss. This is especially important to me as I enter menopause. Her approach just makes sense for the long-term. It’s not even a “program” for me; it’s a lifestyle. How many pounds have I lost? I don’t know, because I don’t weigh myself anymore. But I do know that I’m down a full size in all of my clothing and I feel better physically than ever before. I’m so happy that Keri advised me to take my measurements and pictures along the way. The scale doesn’t tell the story but pictures certainly do! The added bonus to all of this: the group support from the closed Facebook page. Those ladies are inspirational and funny and real. Can’t say enough about it!”[/text_block]
