Testimonials

Karen was there for me at a time when I needed great encouragement and motivation. She provided me with straight up answers to my diet and training questions. When I applied her advice I experienced immediate results! Karen knows her stuff, and cares about her clients. Thanks for being there Karen!

I just can’t believe my results in just less than 3 months time. I’m going to take some updated pictures next week and send them to you! I couldn’t have gotten this far with out all your help. I was just running around in circles before I signed up with you. Doing endless cardio and training without seeing any real results. Now I’m training less and eating more!! I plan on signing up again with you when my weeks run out!! I’m still not ready to go it alone yet. Feel free to use my stats and or testimonial for your online training. I want people to know that your system works and how great you are at what you do!!

Wow, you make so much sense, I wish you were my next door neighbor here in the Republic of China! I would invite you over for some green tea, and use my nicest cups! Happy New Year!

Hi Karen,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you!! I weighed in the other morning at 126. Let me say that again because it feels so good... 126. I've had to buy new pants and shorts in 7's, and that's from 11's, and d/t sales and the anticipation of what the future holds went ahead and bought some 5's. This is all thanks to you and your program. I actually feel like there is hope, and that for me is priceless. Ok, this is turning into a commercial so I'll end on that note.

I wanted to first of all mention how wonderful your eBook is - Iron Dolls . This is the first book I purchased, but not my last. You have an empowering effect on the reader.

Helen Sleightholm

Allow me to recommend a website that is run by a lady for ladies and she's no-nonsense, down to earth and very knowledgable. Karen Sessions at www.theelitephysique.com is awesome when it comes to what specifically women need to know. She has an online book that is worth every penny of the $25.00 asking price. she also has a newsletter and archives at the site. She also has a forum with some good people there.

Hello Karen,

Wow, it is amazing how much fat i have lost. I don't feel hungry or deprived at all, so it is up to :-)

Thanks soooo much for your help!

Last night I did try on a pair of size 2 cotton Bermuda pants from Victoria’s Secret- I was going to sell them on EBay 3 weeks ago because they made me look like an encased sausage. But last night they fit PERFECT!! I'm wearing them today! Yoo-hoo!

I maintained 100% adherence to the nutritional and weight workout plans. I weighed and measured all portions until I learn them by sight. I drink one gallon of water per day and included Lipo 6 one cap in am, one in early afternoon.

After 48 hours I experienced a wicked day long headache which I easily recognize as my sugar/processed food detox. Since then I have felt great, good energy level, plenty of sleep and rest. I can feel the food burning in my furnace especially after a steak (2.5oz) and dark green salad at night.

Susan Schwarz

Thanks so much Karen. I can't believe the progress that I have made in just about 6 weeks. I might have to change my goals before 12 weeks are up (lol) because I'm almost there already!!!! I think that I would to add some muscle next now that I have almost lost all the body fat that I wanted to.

Thanks again!!

Renee Aerbel

Everyone is commenting on how good I look, I have now lost a total of 60 lbs and 21% BF in 14 months, yaya!! and I'm fitting in a sizes small, med, some 8 some 10's some jr 11's instead of 18 and 20's WOW! What a feeling!!!

Linda Smith

I am going to read Iron Dolls again!

I see that you have several other books now!! Wow, how exciting! I want them.

Lisa Twombley

Hi Karen,

I wanted to thank you for the help with contest prep by reading your books. I have my program all set and I am just more than 8 weeks out right now. I am going to follow your advice with the fat burning supplements just how you say. I didn't even know about chromium polynicotinate, HCA or l-carnitine and it's ability to aid in fat burning. I plan to do the stack just as you say with a thryroid stimulant.

Thanks again!
Lisa Twombley

I want to say how much I appreciate the honesty and openness in your approach to your newsletter. The no BS, tell it like it is, method is very much appreciated.

Take Care,
Kelly

I'm very happy with my results so far. I can see a difference in the way I look as well as how my clothing fits!

Thank You,
Melissa

Thank you very much for being the inspiration that you are. I will never stop striving for an elite physique. You have a fantastic site, and I really enjoy being a part of the the community that you have created.

Yours in Fitness,

My muscles have NEVER been this big and hard, and I can definitely feel a difference! Also, I have NOT ONCE felt the urge to binge on cereal, MRP bars or popcorn- which I used to feel like doing almost every night! And that's even more impressive since I went through my pre-period time these past two weeks, which always used to be the most difficult.

Anca

Karen,

I am excited and wanted to share this with you. I listened to you and cute way back on the processing in my diet. I added more veggies and less cereal, I cut fat except for the good fats I am adding udo's oil blend to my protien shakes. I measured this morning and lost 1 inch from around my belly, not the waist or hips, I measured around the belly button. this made my BF% go down more, I went from 32.48% BF to 31.38 %BF in just 4 days, I think it's true, abs are made in the kitchen not the Gym. lol Anyway my Lean Body mass went up from 97.23 to 98.81 and my fat mass went down from 46,77 to 45.19 This is all according to the way fittogether calculates everything.

Thanks for you help, I feel like I am back on track! My Husband surprised me with a outfit for our cruise this June , he bought size 12 and it's loose!!!! ((((smile)))))

Thanks Again,
Linda Ann Smith

It is really going GREAT Karen! This is a very easy plan for me to follow! I am really starting to tell a difference in the way my clothes fit! Loving it too! Thanks so much for everything!

Stacey Cotton

I wanted to tell you how much fun it was to have you as a trainer for 6 week. I know this is my last week, butI  will be back soon. I also have amasing pics of before and now. Wow what a difference...

Mostly i want to say thank you for being an insperation to a woman who never thought she could do anything right.   A woman who could never look good, ya know what i mean.  Thank you .  You are my mentor in this domaine.

Carolyn Ellis

Thanks so much for the revised eBook -- you totally could've gotten away with not sending me a copy. That's really cool of you. I honestly regard you as one of the most informational sources when it comes to health, nutrition, etc. You're awesome and totally inspirational.

Cassie Berman

Karen,

I have been following the program (menu and weights) that you gave me and I have energy throughout the day like never before.  I have been substituting some fish/meat with the equivalent egg whites occasionally, because chicken, turkey, tuna and orange roughly get boring fast.  I hope this is okay as I just love egg whites.  I also take creatine, Abs plus, and 1 flaxseed oil capsule per day.  I do research on parkinson's disease and our research strongly suggests oleic acid (found in flaxseed oil) protects dopaminergic neurons.  I have always been afraid of fat burners, so I started with abs plus which has green tea extract and linolic acid.  I may get brave and start with hot rox a little later.  My weight is 132 lbs, and 21.1% BF according to the omron.  My BF has been slowly dropping over the week since I started the program, kind of in small step downs.  I have 1 metrx shake after lifting.  And last night If! ell asleep before my last meal which is unusually for me.  Thanks for everything and I wish I had found your program sooner.

Suzanne Hessefort

I had a hair appointment and when I went in, my hairdresser said:  "Wow, you look fit and muscular!  What have you been doing?"  (Now you must know I'm not in anyway "muscular" looking but maybe compared to how I was before!).  Anyway, he also said, "even your face looks more defined!"  So that was a nice way to end the day.   I have had a couple of people mention that they thought I looked "more fit" then normal so it's been working!  A big Thank You to you for that!

Jo Cottle

Thanks so much Karen!  I feel you really helped me get moving in the right direction..and the timing of all this is just right.  Working with you has really helped me.  Motivation is not a problem for me, but having your expertise and guidance has helped me make incredible changes.  So to think of all the years I've been working out and really just looking the same - and then to get this kind of results in this amount of time is astonishing!  I do realize how much the diet has to do with it.  So, I don't want to stop now!!!

Anyway, thank you again, I'll be "behaving" as best I can while traveling and then you'll be hearing from me again!

Jo Cottle

Dear Karen,
There is an older guy from Thailand where I train in muay Thai, he told me in broken English "your tummy look not so big", so I guess that's a good thing.

Thanks,
Dennis Sharpe

Hey,        

You're probably wondering what prompted me to write you today.  Well, it was your newsletter.  I wanted to tell you how fantastic I thought it was, absolutely excellent!   I have experimented with little bits of different diet combinations over the last couple of months, with no luck so far in reaching my fitness goals.  So out of frustration a couple of weeks ago I went back to the basic diet you put me on.  And not only did I find the dietary peace I was searching for, but would you believe I've lost almost 4 pounds and actually have some vascularity (sp) developing in my biceps and shoulders.  I have never had that before, damn!  That msfit, she knows what she's doing and always has.  Will I ever learn to listen?  Hopefully.      Take care and keep up the good work.  You do a great job and your knowledge is much appreciated.

Phyllis 

I haven't felt this good or this satisfied with the direction my fitness journey is taking in several months.  I may even get the balls to take some pictures so that I can see the changes as they happen from month to month.  These past few months have been such a disappointment that I can hardly believe that I just said that.  

Phyllis

I feel really good and I can feel the difference. I have been told this by others too, so I'M VERY, VERY HAPPY...YOU ARE ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I GET PUMPED UP AND REALLY GET MOTIVATED TO WANTING THIS ...

You always have some very POSITIVE FEED BACK and truly from the bottom of my HEART THANK YOU.

Lena

I am amazed at how generous you are w/your time in answering my myriad questions.

Reena Chopra

As far as training goes, I am really amazed at how strong I actually am. Not only do I feel a lot more energetic, I was also able to up the poundage's on several exercises this week. Cardio is starting to feel like fun now that I'm bringing my mp3 player.

Also, people are noticing my weight loss even in office clothes. I received a couple of compliments there. One day I was wearing a pair of pants that I've had for almost two years now and never needed a belt for. However, this time when I put them on they just wouldn't stay up on my hips so I had to use a belt.

Yvonne Ferg

Karen,

I am overwhelmed with the amount of time, effort and dedication you put into your E-Consultations. Already, you've just been so responsive and helpful and just by reading some of the comments in the Forum on your website and having communicated with you briefly over the last couple of days I feel extremely blessed and fortunate to be able to have your assistance. You're doing so much for the good of others and it fills me (as I know it has done for many other woman) with hope and excitement for the future!

just visited your site for the first time today. Great stuff. You're truly an  inspiration! Again, thanks so much for your time. I appreciate all the information you've provided on your site and in your email response!

Thank You!!
Lisa

I just wanted you to know that before I signed up with you I was eating yogurt and cottage cheese for 3 of meals and was not losing a thing.  Thanks to you and your site I have learned that was not conductive to fat loss and I just wanted to thank you for having that information out there and available. :)

Thanks,
Amy

I will be starting week 3 of the Killer Quads program.  I can ALREADY tell a difference in my quads even my hams are pumped up a little more.  I see some hard definition coming in the front of them and they are more pronounced when I walk (which I REALLY like). 

Hi Karen,

I am showing more muscle than I ever have before.  My legs are much more firm, shapely and defined (still big but at least they have shape now J ).  I can even see some hamstring development which I have never seen before.

My upper body is coming along great also.  I can actually see some shoulder, biceps and triceps definition when flexing.  My upper chest is fantastic.  Considering I don't have much of a chest at all, the definition actually gives me cleavage!  The chins and pull downs are really helping define my upper back and I stand much taller and with better posture.

I do have one complaint though; I am feeling thick all over.  I'm sure it is due to me being sick and not being consistent with my cardio.  I hope to lean out a little with more consistent cardio.

As always, thanks for your continued guidance.

Hello Karen a/k/a Ms.Fit
I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to let you know that I purchased "Iron Dolls." What a wonderful, informative and concise book!!! And I'm only through the first 30 pages. Thank you so much for providing the information that I always sought but could never find in magazines or message boards.

I’m looking forward to reading the next 390 or so pages, and applying the principles that you set forth.

This is the first time ever that I have intentionally manipulated my diet and exercise to lose fat while gaining muscle and succeeded!

Karen,

Just wanted to let you know your info rocks! It's the first serious weight training for women I've seen in a very long time! And this *cow* routine is amazing. I can definitely feel the pump and burn where it was lacking before.

I never ever thought that eating 1700 calories would produce any weight loss! It just has taught me a lesson that is does matter where the calories are coming from! I am so happy to be able to finally see some noticeable results after being stalled for quite some time. Although I have to admit the diet part has not been easy. I really like tuna, but I found myself having to choke it down some of the time! LOL! My whole thought process has changed though, and I now realize natural food it the best, before I just thought a calorie was a calorie! I went to put on my jeans this morning and they were loose. I have been tugging them up all day!

Karen-  I just purchased your eBook "Lose Weight Forever"  Girl I want to tell you something...I have e-mail professional bodybuilders with diet questions and never even got a response.  Asked a professional wrestler friend the same and still nothing.  Your eBook is a god send.  I would love to send you some before and after pics as soon as I get started and actually show results.  Man I can't thank you enough for this book!!!!

Sincerely,
Jane E. Marshall-Fisher

Karen-  Okay, I am impressed...you not only emailed me back you even gave me information for your forum.  That says a great deal about you!  Thanks so much and I will def. visit the forum often and keep in touch.  Girl, you rock! 

Thanks again!

I have stopped myself dead in my tracks because of discouragement, attitude problems and lack of direction or goals fitness wise.  You've done my brain a world of good and to me that's priceless.  It's nice to feel like there is hope again.
