SpotLight Review - Case Stidies

Name: Angela McElligott
Age: 50 YO
Current situation: Almost at maintenance with 5 weeks to go
Total Inches down so far: 12
This is one of our current clients. Angela lucky because she likes a variety of fats and proteins. She also finds it easier than most to drop her carbohydrates and fats down. A lot of people would struggle to do that so we wouldn’t do it with them.
Her strength has really come on and she’s now pressing 4.5kg dumbbells overhead for 3 sets of 20 reps and is also performing seated tricep press for the same reps with the same weight.
She also doing sets of 20 kneeling push ups and 40 Russian twists for her core and has done sets of 30 reps when doing crunches! 💪

Name: Grainne M (Name shared in private clients Facebook group but staying anonymous on public page and website)
Age: 54 YO
Current situation: Almost at maintenance with 3.5 months to go
Total Inches down so far: 37.5
I know this review is going to help a lot of people. It shows that even people who are successful in their transformation will come up against challenges along the way. Many people see before and after pictures and think ‘I don’t have the will to do that’ … or … ‘others find it so much easier than I do.’
I hope this will help you all to understand that anyone can achieve the body they want. If others are doing it…YOU CAN TOO!
Grainne: After 2 months ‘Great feeling to open wardrobe & everything fits 😊. Thanks Daniel 👍 - also nice few inches down - Very very happy’
Grainne: “12 weeks on plan. Overall I've lost total of 37.5" , 14 kg (31 lbs) & feel stronger & so much better about myself. Everything in my wardrobe fits me”
(Including 7 inches off waist, 5.5 inches off hips and 5 inches off each thigh)
Grainne: “Massive change in wellbeing and psyche - mentally and physically in a better place - feels slim line and so happy that slim figure tops fit during these hot weeks”
Although she’s had many more ups than downs along the way, she has come up against some personal challenges. Everyone has their own struggles that can be dealt with in a similar way.
Grainne: “Had slice of cake - I had such a 'want' for it. I feel like the old me which I'm not happy about. My willpower seems to have left me. Struggling with 'wanting' the wrong things.”
Greinne: “Hi. Still struggling with thoughts of all things 'sugary'. Reached again for milk choc today - feel I've lost my will power. I am trying but struggling 😐”
With our help and support Grainne soon got through this struggle….
Grainne: “I was fearful myself of bad habits returning. "Grounded" myself last night. Looked at before /after pics & measurements. I am not willing to let this go. I am back on track..”
This lady should be very very proud of her amazing body transformation so far. She has the ability to stand back and look at her current situation whether good or not as good; and then compare it to past weeks so that she can reflect while also looking forward and making judgments on where she’ll be in weeks to come.
She has the determination to get the body she deserves and is almost there. Make sure to congratulate her on her transformation to date!

💡Spotlight Review: Client Case Study
➡️ Gillian O Neill
➡️Age: 39 YO
➡️Current situation: 11 weeks in
➡️Total Inches down so far: 31 inches!
____________________
Gillian is absolutely smashing it and pushing hard. Holidays are coming and the motivation is there! In the past couple of weeks we have changed her eating plan to be in line with our rapid fat loss programme and Gillian is getting big results.
🙋♀️Gillian: ‘I’m 11 weeks in & 31” lost! Feeling great, still more to go but I’m on the right track & heading in the right direction. Thank you Daniel for all your guidance! I have tried lots of different methods but finally the Elate programme is giving me the results & knowledge I needed to get to this much healthier new me!!
She’s at the stage where the focus is on the last few inches in her belly area. Even though this is the area where Gillian has seen the biggest transformation.
🙋♀️Gillian July 16th “Great results, feeling great, down 6” in less than a week! All going well, finding the RFL [Rapid Fat Loss programme] is really working for me. Chat to u later!!
It’s also great to see that Gillian is not the only one benefiting from our coaching, she is also using her new found knowledge to ensure that her kids are also eating right. It’s frightening but the reality is that a lot of what we are told is healthy….simply is not. Don’t believe everything you read on the box!!
🙋♀️Gillian: “I’m just getting very conscience of the foods my kids are consuming!! I’m finding your recipes fantastic that u post!”
As you can see from her pictures Gillian has achieved a fantastic transformation to date and I’m very excited about the next few weeks and months for her. Obviously, everyone wants to enjoy some well deserved holidays so we won’t be putting pressure on Gillian to lose weight while away but I know that she’ll soon hit maintenance when she’s back.
⭐You are an inspiration to others Gillian and you should be very proud!! You are 100% making the most of this opportunity and you comment is second to none.
I know I’ll be hearing about you all week :D
➡️Make sure to comment below and congratulate her on her new body!

Notes:
I’ve been tracking Gillian closely using MyFitnessPal. It’s an extra step that not every client wants to do as it can be time consuming when first getting used to using it. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks as it gives us daily access to all her food and in great detail. We’ve never once spoken about calories as they don’t give the full picture (and for this reason we ignore all the nutritional advice that the app gives). With Gillian (and all clients who use MyFitnessPal) we have been tracking her protein, fats and carbohydrates and adjusting them to suit her food preferences, lifestyle and rate of fat loss desired. This absolutely guarantees results with 100% success.
I think Gillian would agree that this has be a major contributing factor in relation to her amazing results.

During one of our recent calls Fiona asked me if I would do a spotlight review of her journey when she finished. I told her that we should do one right away as she is a perfect model for others to follow and should be massively proud of her achievements over the past few months.
🙋♀️ Just yesterday Fiona told me that she was fitting into all her old summer clothes with buckets of room!
👏When she started with us at the end of March she was a size 22. By the end of July her size 18’s were getting loose and she was even wearing some size 16’s. That’s a fantastic achievement dropping 3 clothes sizes in 4 months!
🙋♀️Fiona: “Phone calls are terrific for motivation and Daniel is easy to talk to, firm yet supportive. I am a tortoise rather than a hare - slow and steady wins the race. I know I have a long way to go yet but as my other half points out I didn’t get out of shape overnight, so I cannot expect to find my former svelte self in an instant. Thank you for your help and support”
➡️It’s also very important to note that Fiona is still ‘having a life’ while achieving these results. There are nights out happening! Everyone needs to live a little and if you stop being the person you really are or if you try to make radical changes to your lifestyle just to lose weight then there is a far greater chance that when you go back to being YOU that you will put the weight back on.
💪True to Fiona’s commitment she has even requested extra workouts :D
Improving strength is a big part of Fiona’s training and this makes up the bulk of the three 30 min workouts a week. She does all of these training sessions at home while following my videos. As part of the extra workouts for two days a week Fiona is doing a short 4 to 8 minute session. These are on the days in between her strength training.
She has the option of doing these extra workouts when she wants or else skipping them for a few days if she is particularly busy as they aren’t a necessity. She’s hasn’t yet skipped one :D
👉I know this because we use a specialise app where I can see what training Fiona has done each day!
🙋♀️Over the past few months Fiona has come up against some life challenges. It really never is plain sailing for anyone! It’s a testament to her dedication and long term outlook of becoming the healthy and energetic person that she knows she can be that kept Fiona pushing through and achieve a lighter version of herself every week.
🎉Big big congratulations on your results to date. I’m very excited about the coming weeks and months for you!!

🥘These are some of Fiona’s food diaries from when she first started at the end of March. You’ll notice that there aren’t any weights or mention of portion sizes. This is because Fiona was able to eat as much of these foods as she wanted. This is also why she chose not to have snacks…she was too full after her main meals!
If you enjoy the same foods as Fiona then why not follow what she was eating for next few days and see what results you get!
➡️Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 slices of ham, 1 tomato, cheese and tea
Lunch: liver pate salmon veg, peas, French beans and small amount of potato Coffee .

➡️Jackie Cleary
➡️Age: 51 YO
➡️Total Inches down so far: 34.5 inches!
➡️Current situation: 2 weeks to maintenance
____________________
🙋♀️Jackie started with us in April and within 3 months she was fitting into all her clothes with just a final push to go to achieve maintenance. This included a holiday where the plan was not to follow any plan but to enjoy her well earned break 😁
Jackie was losing between 2 – 4 inches a week. We could see a pattern where during the weeks that Jackie was eating to plan she lost the most inches and during the weeks where she was going off plan the results weren’t as good. Although it’s always best to see continuous good results a person’s lifestyle needs to be factored in. Especially when striving to achieve sustainable weight loss just as Jackie was looking for!
➡️ I asked Jackie if she had any advice for people who tend go off track and are trying to pull it back after a few difficult weeks….
“Everybody has a few bad days at some stage throughout the process but just pick yourself up and start again. For me this is a life changer and has given me the tools for the rest of my life. Thanks a million Daniel for all your help and wisdom throughout the last 4 months I would highly recommend this to all my friends and family.”
💪Every 6 weeks we changed up Jackies workout programme and slightly increased the intensity of the workouts to suit her new strength and fitness levels. These workouts were mainly designed to strengthen and tone. It’s very important to remember that when the goal is strengthening and toning then that it the type of programme that you must follow.
🚫A cardio based workout simply does not achieve these results in a measurable way. A phrase that I frequently use is ‘if you want to be a runner then run, if you want to be a swimmer then swim but if you want to strengthen and tone then you must do strengthening and toning workouts’.
🚴♀️Too many women are walking, jogging or cycling and hoping to achieve a toned body!!
👉Jackies before and after pictures are nothing short of amazing! Every body part has changed dramatically from her neck to her calves! She was carrying a lot of weight around her middle, thighs and bum and it’s fantastic to see the slimline shape that she has achieved in those areas.
🎉CONGRATS Jackie!! You are looking fantastic!
I’m so glad that you have learned the tools which enable you to keep the weight off long term as that’s what it’s all about!
I’m looking forward to spending the next few months following you during your maintenance plan where you can drop the last couple of inches and start getting used to carrying a round a lot less of you that there was just a few months ago!
