Before joining Amerishape / Ameri Shape , Dara never worked out.

But once she began hitting the machines and sculpting her body in earnest, the Power House gym’s general manager (Brian Hanrahan) was so impressed he offered her a job as a personal trainer. They had reason to take notice: She’d lost 45 inches of flab.

Dara confesses, “Sometimes I still find it hard to believe it’s me on the Power House gym floor singing and dancing to techno music, motivating people to get moving.” That’s because before becoming a Amerishape / Ameri Shape Member in November 2009, Dara weighed 195.6 pounds. But after just thirteen months of following the Ameri Shape Weight-Loss System, she had shed 65.8 of them.* “The word ‘workout’ never used to be part of my vocabulary,” she says. “Now it’s part of my identity!” AmeriShape.com: Was there a particular food with great nutritional value you loved that was hard to give up?

Dara: I’m smarter about eating the foods I love so that I don’t have to give them up. I love Chinese food. Only now, instead of ordering chicken and cashews I’ll get chicken and veggies. Pizza was another Achilles heel for me. I make my own, using sauce with calorie values, low-fat cheese and pita bread.

AmeriShape.com: Are there special tricks you use to help you stay on track?

Dara: I still carry my “before” picture in my purse.

AmeriShape.com: Has the Amerishape / Ameri Shape plan helped you in ways beyond weight loss ?

Dara: I’ve learned not to hold back when I really want something. If I go on a job interview I’ll say, “This is why you need to hire me” rather than, “Hi, do you have any openings?”

AmeriShape.com: How have the people close to you reacted to the weight loss?

Dara: I met my boyfriend before I lost the weight, so I know he loved me at my heaviest. But now his nickname for me is Slim. The most awesome part is going clothes shopping with my thin friends. Finally, instead of skulking into the plus size section, I sashay with my buds around “skinny-people” stores!

Dara’s tips:

Work out!

When you get home from the grocery store, label the cans with their calorie values before putting them in the cabinets.

I loved regular soda and hated the diet stuff until I started adding a lemon slice — instant improvement.

Members Pay For Gold’s Gym Not Yet Built
HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. — About 1,000 people who paid for gym memberships
have nothing to show for it. Gold’s Gym was supposed to open in
Hendersonville last October, but five months later, it hasn’t.
A Gold’s Gym membership is about $20 a month.
“I thought, ‘Hey, a great opportunity. The gym is right outside my
apartment; this would be wonderful,'” said Ryan O’Saile.
In September of last year, O’Saile paid about $50. The gym, he was told,
would open in October.
“We’re still sitting here in March, and construction hasn’t begun yet.
Each time I went to the trailer, I’ve been given a different story about what
was going on,” said O’Saile. “I feel cheated. I feel wronged that they’re
taking this money from me.”
O’Saile isn’t alone, and Gold’s Gym General Manager Chris Cross said he
understands his members’ frustration.
We’ve signed up over 900 members,” said Cross. “We’re frustrated, too.
Nobody wants this gym open more than we do.”
In fact, Cross said, $1 million has been invested into the project,
including signs and construction materials. Cross said the gym’s bank is to blame
for the hold-ups.
“They delayed the funding, which caused us to be in a delay,” said Cross,
who said a gym is coming. “We are 100 percent going to open. We are in the
process. We are moving full-steam ahead.”
O’Saile won’t be there when the doors finally open. He has canceled his
membership, but said he was told enrollment and processing fees from account
setup were nonrefundable.

Amerishape Whey Loss Smoothie is a source of protein derived exclusively from Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and provides one of the highest percentages of protein per serving, minimal carbohydrates and no fat. In addition, the product is Lactose-free, very low in sodium and no cholesterol. Common to many whey products, Whey Protein Isolate is produced by removing Sweet Whey from cheese curd, then subjected to methods that remove the remaining cheese “fines”, pasteurized, and the fat content is removed by centrifugal separation. Following this pretreatment, the fluid raw material may then be processed into Whey Protein Isolate using one of two methods: Ion Exchange (IE), which is followed by concentration and spray drying, is a process very similar to that used for the production of “soft” water. Microfiltration followed by Ultrafiltration (MF/UF), and is then spray dried, incorporates a pressure driven membrane filtration which is comprised of two “molecular sieves”. This process removes differing components in various steps and is then concentrated to achieve the desired product. The two methods differ in production in the composition of the proteins found in the respective forms of Whey Protein Isolate. However, when compared to the MF/UF method, the IE method results in the loss of significant certain protein fractions. For this reason, Amerishape Whey Loss Smoothie uses Whey Protein Isolate produced only by MF/UF methods. WPI offers an effective means of supplementing the diet with a source of protein that has an excellent Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Biological Value (BV) available. And, due to the natural bland taste of WPI, it offers a very good tasting, versatile form of protein that may be used to create an endless number of protein shakes and smoothies. Each 30 gram serving of Amerishape Whey Loss Smoothie provides 26 grams of Protein, only 1 gram of Carbohydrates, No Lactose, No Fat and No Cholesterol. Amerishape Whey Loss Smoothie is available in three great tasting flavors, Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry, with some new exciting flavors in the works. Amerishape Whey Loss Smoothie is naturally sweetened with Stevia and uses flavor systems guaranteed to be free of MSG and other Exitotoxins.
