Weekly tip/sticky note to put up on your wall:

Thank God for my..." (fill in the blank with your favorite body part)
        -This is so that every time you look in the mirror you don't focus on the negative, but instead love the body God gave you and vow/commit from this day forward to take care of it :)

Tip:

Important concept to THROW OUT THE WINDOW before you commit to join in 'Fitness Fellowship': "I am going to get bulky if I lift heavy weights"...FALSE. I thought that all my life and did low weights, high reps. My friend Dana Novinskie helped me see the light and I am in the best shape I have ever been by getting over that fear and reaching for the biggest weight I can manage without sacrificing form. I have never seen gains like I am seeing now. Here is an article supporting this and there are many others out there like this. http://jcdfitness.com/2011/08/attention-women-heres-proof-that-lifting-heavy-weights-will-not-make-you-big-and-bulky/

Start nutritional journals today: Write down EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth and look up the calories.

Verse/Quote for the entire class:

"That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have FELLOWSHIP with us...and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son JESUS CHRIST" 1 JOHN 1:3
