I was raised in Northern California (Humboldt County) and have lived in Sacramento since 2000. Since moving here life has changed in many ways. I have gone through phases of taking care of myself and doing different weight loss programs only to go back to my old ways of not excercising and not eating properly. This last year my life changed when I decided that a clean and sober life was the only thing left I could do to ultimately regain my health.Along with this life changing event I have also finally realized that in order to complete my new life style it was time to step up my game and start on the final journey of a new way of life and get serious about my excercise and my nutrition. I was introduced to Dianne Carlos of Max Muscle in Natomas by my friend Ted. With the help of Dianne I got a nutrution and supplement plan in place . Ted helped me with my workout program and got me started with daily work outs at Golds Gym in Natomas. I now train by myself at Golds Gym in Elk Grove The rest is history. I have been on a roll ever since with a new passion for excercise and a good clean way of eating and I feel better than I ever have in my life. I have set a goal for myself to do this Maxformation contest and do this right once and for all. That was last years Personal Bio. This year after placing in the Top 10 Maxformation 2011, life has just gotten better. It is now routine to workout and eat clean. It is just like breathing now. It is natural. My boyfriend Carson and I live with our dog Bouy in Sacramento and life is good. I truly would not be where I am today if it were not for Max Muscle. Here's a little video about some of my journey: http://www.youtube.com/user/joanbohrer MaxFormation 2011 Contest Period: Measurements...12/1/10.........6/24/11 Weight..................182.5.............148.6 Body Fat................45.8%............27.0% Chest.....................36..................32.25 Waist.....................37..................27.25 Hips.......................45.75.............39 Thighs...................23..................21.25

Hi Joan it's me Fran. April's client and buddy..I wanted to send you a message so we can be connected. I love the picture of you. Soon I'll have the body to do the bikini shot too :). I'm still going good but unfortunitly have not lost any lbs. in the last 2 weeks. I'm on my 8th week now. I know it takes time so I am not expecting this weight that took 8 years to pile on to come off so easy, but, I want to lose at least a little every week. I know it is possible when I see you and how hard you worked and how happy you are you worked so hard. I'll see you later :)

Hey Fran! Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! Girl you keep working it and yes you will be in a bikini soon! Sorry I did not get to chat with you at Bootcamp on Saturday. Please let me know any questions you ever have and I am always here to support you. We both already have the best trainer around so we are blessed in that area! have a great day and keep up the good work! Joan

Joan, I first want to say that you look amazing and your story is truly an inspiration! I am also working with Dianne at the Woodland Max Muscle and working out at her gym! Dianne is great and her staff is amazing as well. I hope to be a finalist in the Maxformation 2012 and with Dianne and Max Muscle I truly believe I can! Good luck...

Doug

Thanks Joan, those are very encouraging words from you! Dianne is great and is a wealth of knowledge and more than willing to answer questions. (and I have a ton) It would be awesome to meet you, I'm in the gym during the late afternoon during the week and the morning on Saturdays, so I'm sure we will cross paths eventually! I wish I would have signed up for the Maxformation on the 1st day at the gym, but I waited about 3 weeks! Since my 1st day in the gym, I have lost 16 lbs and feel amazing! Since I signed up for the contest, I'm down 7 lbs and now I can't wait for Dianne to take my measurements at the end of the month.

Again, thanks for the encouraging words and I will take you up on your offer to ask you questions.

Take care,

Doug

Hi Doug! It is so nice to hear from you. Thank you for requesting to be my friend. That is so awesome you are working with Dianne. The Max Muscle and gym in Woodland are both beautiful. Between those two places and Dianne if you are willing to put in the hard work then you WILL make it into the finals of the Maxformation 2012 without a doubt! I was just with Dianne yesterday saying how I really need to get back out to Woodland and see all the changes at the gym. My current training however has me more down here in Sac. It would be great if when I am out there I could meet you. Please do not hesitate to contact me at anytime with any questions or if you are just not feeling it some days... there are many facets to the journey and sometimes you just need an ear. Good luck in the coming months and you are already on your way! Have a great day ! j
