Inspiring

I was doing a little blog surfing yesterday and I found Gayle's site. First of all the name of her blog Removing My Fat Suit is catching enough but the content that she puts forth is amazing.  She tells of trying all of the "get fit quick" or "lose fat now" things that didn't work.  She highlights her journey through Crossfit and I hope you find it motivating to make changes in your life. It takes a brave individual to put this type of content out there for the world to view and critique and applaud her for it.  You can tell that she puts in the work not only on her work out days but also on her Rest days by practicing her skills.  I hope that you her words, website, and story inspires you to try Crossfit, or a new skill or help someone who is struggling with their weight come to Crossfit

      

I'm interested to know how Crossfit Solano members are doing. Me personally I've lost 40 pounds since this time last year.  Where have you been noticing it? Have your pants started fitting better? Have you lost some weight? Do people say things like "I can see you face now!"  I get that one a lot and it always makes me laugh. Please send your success stories and pics to Lauren@crossfitsolano.com

For the last 6 years I've tried/started but never finish a diet,gym,etc..I started CFS on 1-28 of this year, flabby, out of shape and feeling that this body/fat that has been me for 6yrs is ME and that nothing is going to change.But OMG!!! Over the last few weeks I've notice toning in my thighs, arms and shoulder even some rolls are getting smaller or even gone! CFS-THANK YOU,THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing me that yes I can get out of this fat suit.

For those interested in telling me their successes- I am looking for information you 1.) feel you can share as it will be posted at one point 2.) changes, health/weight/eating habits 3.) have daily tasks become easier- how so? 4.) is CF helping you at work? 5.)made new friends 6.) notice more attention from a loved one etc... please add whatever you want and make it your story. Give more info then not enough, but only add what you can share. Also, use e-mail, not the comments so I can stay on top of it.

Thanks.

Want to say good job to Beasty for putting together an awesome team WOD for a group of us this morning. The intensity really picks up when you don't want to let the others in your group down. I look forward to making other CFSers do this WOD in the very near future.

Yeah, good Job Carl for making that wod....good times....I think we should have made you do twice the work then we would have stood a chance against QUADZILLA AND FRIENDS....hahahahah

Liz ahhhh that song, I'm about to throw that CD out of the gym because when I hear it my ears start to bleed a little. But thank you Liz for finding our warm-up for tomorrows classes and how did you know what I was going to wear to the next Zumba Class. That guy is quite the dancer.

Now that we are no longer following the main site, what are the chances of the WOD being posted the night before?
It would be nice to know what to expect the night before like with the main site does.

Thanks,

I agree with The Dripper....

[DJ]

Dave you know the excitement you get on Christmas Morning when you wake up and you have no idea what presents Santa has put under the tree? I'm offering that 365 Days a year Dripper. You should be so excited to see what the WOD is that you go to bed early just to jump out of bed at 0500 AM to see what the day has in store!

So, Fabio is having an identity crisis. He thinks he's Ponch from Chips. And BKnight is Baker. Ha! They do kinda look like them though huh?
Um, do me a favor DJ, do NOT wear that outfit to Zumba!! I had a hard enough time staring at Gizzle's "enormous cockpit" shirt this week!

don't be a hater goolia and besides if you hate it so such you should buy some crossfit solano swag to get your anger out.
