Dear Friends,
It’s been quite a ride hasn’t it? 3 months together..
As the overall in charge of all fitness workouts and operations for the Lose to win Fitness Bootcamp portion, I’d like to thank everyone involved in this excellent project.
- Chief Trainers Zhywee and Faz- always working hard to get your team together to ensure the best for our clients… on and off the training ground… your planning.. your drive.. your motivation.. your dedication.. your leadership.. what would I do without you two..
- Dy Chief Trainers Matt Azmy and Ying Bin – for the support you’ve given to your Chief Trainers.. admin, logistics and operations..
- All Trainers – Jack of all Fitness trades and master of some! Your dedication and effort goes beyond the call of duty.. the hundreds (literally hundreds) of exercises and modifications.. the hours you spend on researching and looking for something new to ensure variation of exercises.. your contribution to the exercise prescription.. We were strong from the start.. and now we’re so much stronger.. Remember what I always say – we must stay on top of the game.. always overdeliver.. and this project have proved to everyone that you’re the best out there.. inspirational, professional and ‘human’ at the same time! Thank you for being by my side.
- I salute you:
- Zhywee
- Faz
- Lisa
- Ying Bin
- Matt Azmy
- Saiyidah Aisyah
- Andyn
- Hubert
- Sukhbir
- Arnold
- Herman
- Adler
- Stacey
- Nick
- Nurul
- Arfah
- Damian
- Zul
- Lester
- Sivan
- Lose to Win participants - I remember the first day that I met you, some were looking nervous, some excited.. you guys seem to be sizing me and the other trainers up that day
- It’s been 3 months.. we’ve been through so much together – and the trainers, your colleages, your platoon mate, your company mates.. have seen how much you’ve improved in fitness and change in body shape..It’s just OUTSTANDING.
- From ground zero to hero. Do you know that according to research, there is a high dropout rate within the first month amongst overweight individuals when it comes to exercise? Look at you! Going strong even beyond thses 3 months. Not only you give your best during the bootcamps, you are also motivated to workout on your own – even after the first week of bootcamp.. I wonder what’s the secret to your exercise adherance *winks*And your nutrition workshops – yes you’ve gone to seek knowledge.. but seriously, what is knowledge without taking action? You need the drive and motivation.. since Week 1 you acquired it.. together with your colleages and the trainers – remember how we inspire one another.. you Stepped Up to the challenge..
- I was talking to a member of parliment (MP) about this programme and she asked me if you guys will continue this healthy lifestyle on your own.. I answered her with full confidence, “I’m sure they would.. most of them love exercising now” Look back – what have you improved within these 3 months? (These are the things that I hear from you guys)
- Physique
- Cardio ability
- Endurance
- Balance
- Joint Mobility
- Motor skill coordination
- Agility
- Speed
- Fat levels (lowered)
- Strength and more muscle mass
- Power
- Flexibility (Yeaps – Yoga and Pilates Baybeyy!!)
- Higher bone density (Thanks to the plyometrics and weight bearing activities)
- Energy levels
- Health levels (lower cholesterol levels,
- Increase the high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol in your bodies. Decreased triglycerides levels.
- Moods (Greater levels of Endophins when you exercise well)
- Lower stress levels

- Communication with your teammates and platoons
- Camadarie
- Anymore to add? – enter in comments..

WOW! 4am ++ Sharm you still awake.
Ya time passes very fast, is end of 3 month.
I would like to thank Sharm and your moviation trainers on behalf of IMH. We really learn a lot of things from you that money cannot buy.A very good experience for all of us. I did not sign up (so sad) due to busy schedules in Nov, Dec and Jan but I promise I will try my very best to do my workout daily.
Sharm you know, is already a habit that every morning once I log on my computer, I will fill up my daily food breakdown on what I ate yesterday. After that I will go into your website to look see ..look see. (usually I will read what others pen down … very interesting but I never write anything)
Firstly I would like to thanks my team mates (Bravo 3, East) for their moviation, effort and encouragement given to one another. I can see the Teamspirt is very GREAT.
Secondly, Thanks to all trainers especially Sharm, Zhywee, Lisa, Matt and Ying Bin for not giving us up and keep PUSHING us all the way through the training end. Your PUSH is really great help to us.Without your PUSH I don’t thaink we look so fit today !
This Fitness Bootcamp have really improved my life Style.
Not only in Exercising but in other knowledge that how to exercise, the correct way of doing it.
How to do exercise with your buddy together.
No matter how there is still a modifications way of exercises, and there will be no excuse for not exercise daily. I strongly recommendation to everyone to join this Boot camp.
My great achievement is I loses 4 inches in my waist (36 to 32) My hip (43 to 39.5.)
I need to work even harder if I want to look like Zhywee & Lisa (haha… my dream goal)
I alway remember what Zhywee say ” if you don’t move nothing will happen”.
Our body is like the water in a fish tank. When we keep pushing the water in tank in means we are increasing our metobolism. This will help us to burn our fats faster.
Hope to keep in touch with all of you. (Trainers & Bootcampers)

Dear Battle mates & Trainers
This is our last week together or rather 3 days before our last assessment. I believe all of us starting to miss each other (battle mates and trainers) as we can see that there was a lot of ‘LOSE TO WIN’ photos taken & posted on each other’s facebook.
We are on our own after 31/10/09 as we are getting back to our own ‘position’. Please do not let our effort as well as trainers’ effort go down the drain for these 12 weeks. Remember to eat healthy (portion), live healthy (exercise) and to maintain a healthy lifestyle (because no one going to push us anymore – trainers no longer there to guide us and we have to determine to maintain it)
For me, I have set a list of activities to maintain a healthy lifestyle – with a group of boot camp friends. We have set and challenge ourselves to lose more weights. As I have mentioned before – MOTIVATION, SUPPORT and DETERMINATION WITH PLANS – will make you go forward to journey of losing weight in turn a healthy lifestyle and healthy body.
Lastly, I want to thank
1) Trainers – Sharm, Zhywee, Faz, Lisa, Ying Bin, Matt Asmy, Andyn, Herbert, Herman, Nurul, & Damian – for your encouragement (you can do it !), guidance (teach the proper exercise way & correct my problem/posture), advice and pushing (Don’t be lazy lah!)
2) Bravo 1 team mates – for your encouragement and friendship – Let continue our journey further together after boot camp.
3) Chong Yue-En and Lanto – for your encouragement and comments.
4) Platoon mates – for penning down your experiences and thought, it encouraging to know we are not alone struggling to healthy lifestyle. Good luck to all of you.
WE ARE GOING TO GRADUATE THIS SATURDAY!! HOORAY!!
To: Those who signed up for the boot camp.
I really envy you guys because you manage to join the boot camp. I was not able to join because the timing [place ok, time not ok – working on Sat] and location [place – not ok, timing cannot make it on time– on Thursday evening] .
I have checked the activities of Team Fitness guru before, and found that trainers have a lot up and in their sleeve (in term of exercise and workout) as they have cater to the need of the boot camp individuals. I also have noticed that they have show us some, but not all because the restriction from HPB requirement and such a big group of ‘Lose to Win’ participants to cater for.
By the way, I have joined one session (@$28/session), that why I know. You will regret that because they really take your needs and goals VERY VERY SERIOUS. [Was I right, Ying Bin?]
Not forgetting to give them your goals (which they will ask you – so that they can cater to your needs) in your 1st training.
Ah ya! It is so much cheaper now, and wish I can join lah! Envy envy you all.
[P/s Sharm – Kindly consider to give me an discount when I will able to join back you in the future ok? Pls lah! Thank in advance]
I can’t believe the program have gone-by so quickly. I’ll thank the people that kept me going all year. Being a trainer is truly a team effort.
To my Team, thank you for guidance and taking care of me. To the participants, you have make me laugh and smile and share your world to me. Thank you for proving me again that with perseverance, you will succeed.
As it is said in Hawaii, there is no goodbye. Just a Aloha Ooi, Till we meet again.
Cheers
Matt Azmy
Firstly,Thanks to HPB and all the sponsors for their wonderful contribution for this program to allow us to improve our life style and be healthy.

Thirdly, All the trainers for not giving us up and keep PUSHING us all the way through the training end. Your PUSH is really great help to us.Without your PUSH I don’t think we look so fit today with the fitness Boot camp have really improved my life style,and there will be no excuse for not exercise daily.
To the participants,you have make me laugh and smile and motivate me.Thank you for proving me again that with perseverance,teamworks and memorable moments shared..lets not end our friendships here ya..do keep touch!
Hi Bootcampers,
It has been a 12-weeks of sweat and muscle aches. But I am sure it is all worth it. I have seen fantastic results from all of you. Well done!!!
After this Saturday’s assessment will see the closing of a chapter in your life. Thereafter, the opening of a new chapter, full of optimism and perseverance. The journey will be a long one, with many setbacks along the way. Take all these setbacks in your stride and you will achieve your ultimate goal.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all my fellow trainers for their guidance and tender loving care.
Love Yourself, Love Your Life
Arnold (East Side Trainer)
It’s make me feel sad whenever i read all comments, we know that is times to say sayonara to everyone, but is ok, we still can keep in touch with all teammates or triners anytime & anywhere.

Although there is a slight distance to my ideal weight (my gaol that i set it on 11 Aug ’09) but i promiss to myself that i must and i can do it by end Dec ’09.
Two more days to our FINAL EXAM, i wish all bootcampers all the best on your final fitness test.

Below are some of my favourite motivational quotes which i collect them in my diary.If there are days when I am feeling down, wanting to give up, or i needed some motivation, I do read them and it usually perks me up. Enjoy!
“The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything if you want to succeed in business–or almost anywhere else for that matter.”
Lee Iacocca
“Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” – Lou Holtz
“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.” – Leonardo Da Vinci
“Everyone has the desire to win, but only champions have the desire to prepare.”Overheard during the 1997 Boston Marathon.
“If you believe in yourself, have dedication and pride and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards.”Paul “Bear” Bryant (Late, great coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team)
“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results.” – Tony Robbins
“The most amazing truth is that – right now – you can decide to believe in yourself –
to decide that you can have what you want, that you’ve got what it takes, and that you deserve to experience true joy – the kind that accompanies taking initiative to move yourself ahead in
noteworthy accomplishment …
If you look deeply into your very soul now, you’d see that this amazing truth applies to you –
yes, YOU!
And, that there’s absolutely nothing to refute its viability – or appropriateness for you …
You can decide to accept and embrace this truth – now,
and, as such, no longer withhold your power from yourself, or the world …
For making this decision will unfold for you the Power
that will make your life truly meaningful and substantive.
Indeed, it is then you will truly start…Living!”
- Peter C. Siegel, R.H.

Hi,
Thanks a million to all trainers who have been so patient to aunties like me (whining, groaning during exercise sessions!). Saw henna on Andyn’s fingers! Selamat Pengantin Baru! Azmy’s story has been an inspiration. Arnold has been such a sport receiving all the oohs and aahs from Alpha 3 at his station. Praises to Faz, Lisa, Stacey and Zhywee. Ur bodies are to be envied – so supple and malleable!! Not forgetting Sharm, too, who’s forever waiting for our assignment.
Thanks a zillion to all bootcampers (esp. to all Alpha 3 members!). Have enjoyed ur company immensely during exercise (Christopher, Eric, Morgan, Erlina, Shu Ling, Khairiah, my fellow NCC team and all that I can’t name thro’ lack of space!!)Musn’t forget to thank Lay Choo’s husband, Edmund, who drove us at the speed of lighting to get to the bootcamp on time every Tues. Thank him for Loyce and me, Lay Choo.Can’t think of giving u a treat ‘cos eating is out for us!!
Plse keep in touch. All of u r welcome at NCC if u happen to drop by. Look for Lay Choo at Cancer Helpline. Loyce and me will be at Basement 2, NCC building. Ask for Dept of Radiation Oncology. All the best tomorrow. May the best man and team win. But u know all of us r winners (including u too trainers!)May God bless all of u with good health forever. Ameen!!!

Before participating in this excercise, my staminal was poor, but now I have ability to play a strech of badminton from 1 game up to 4~5 game. Not only that I’m physicaly gained I improve mentally & more refreshing.
Although this program complete already, I still continue joining to keep myself fit.
Coaches Great Job Keep It Up.
I Will Keep it Up Too…………..
Dear Everyone,
It comes to the end today, in our black ‘BIG’ T-shirt – not just the BIG word on the chest, but actually become too ‘BIG’ for us. Any way, we going to have another T-shirt [Smaller and fitter one], hooray.
Today, we enjoying ourselves brisk walking [assessment], cheering for our friends, ……….etc. At the end of it, take photos with our ‘favorite’ trainers [handsome, pretty, macho, funny, .....etc] and not forgetting our media corp – showing our faces on TV, and our last session with our trainers.
Look forward ….. to see each other – hopefully in our ‘LOSE to WIN’ anniversary next year, and show off our ‘sexy -for female’, ‘macho-for male’ bodies.
cherio.
As I sit here looking out at the pouring rain, I’m really thankful for the good weather we had to walk this morning, cool, cloudy, without the hot sun sapping out strength. I was worried that it was going to rain, but looked like that held up till we managed to finish everything that we had to do, for that I’m really thankful.
As I sit here reflecting, I’ve realised that there are so many people to thank, all the very understanding trainers, and my good dear dear platoon mates from Alpha 2. You are the ones who made the difference to my entire experience.
Definitely, I have become a different person, not just shape wise but in terms on how my body takes to food; after our very good Japanese lunch today, I was scheduled to go out for lots of beer and German pork Knuckles till I realised that if I did eat that, I would feel very very sick indeed. Some of you might be experiences the excellent by-effects of a healthy new lifestyle, and do relish that! Don’t go back to what you were living but I do pray that you’ll forge ahead with strength! =)
Once again, thank you for everything, and I do hope to see all of you in the future, fit, healthy and on the ball!

It’s hard to express all the thanks we want to give to you trainers..but I thought blogging something is better than nothing
I guess we read and heard about many success stories…and I must take my hat off the winners..the ones who persevered in trainings and kept to strict diets as TFG advised.
Nope I ain’t one of them
but I’m still sharing my story coz I think there must be a few people out there who’s like me..not too disciplined or something…I want to spur all of us together because we did not win over our mind, heart, body and soul yes…but we can we should we MUST!
I lost 2 kg…gained fitness and toner muscles i think..I am a little disappointed at myself because the trainers did their best to help us yet i didn’t achieve my personal target of 5kg or more..But waittt..i’m not despairing and then binging on more burgers or fries…I guess like Sharm said..it’s the knowledge he wants us to take away..not only the calories and numbers on the scale…I surely know how to exercise more properly now..even basic stuff like breathing technique…which I’m worst at…
KUDOS TO ALL TRAINERS~~I’ll work harder! Cya soon.
Cheers

Dear Trainers
Sharm : Thank you for the T-shirt in advance.
Just a word for All Trainers [Sharm, Faz, Andyn, Azmy, Ying Bin, Lisa, Hubert, Sukbir, Nurul, Arfah, Aisyah, Sivan, Lester, ...... and other trainers
THANK U for turning me from Exercise hater to Exercise Lover - I believe it is not just me alone and many boot campers also like me.
To appreciate of all your efforts in thinking, planning .... to executing - We will strive to exercise at all time, living a healthy lifestyle.
Maybe sometimes down the road in the future, who knows some of us will become your 'LIVE MODELS and LIVE ADVERTISISEMENT' of your effort you have spent on us for past 12 weeks.
In short, THANK YOU SO MUCH - THAT WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS my feeling and gratitude.
[I wish that HPB will organise a 'ANNIVERSARY' for us, then all of us can come back at one place and see how well we are doing after one year]
Thank you, everyone.. for your input here in the comments section..
Yes Heather.. if they don’t do the anniversary thing, we plan to do it for everyone. This time round, it’ll be a MAKAN session (Halal Pot Luck) instead of an exercise session to celebrate lots and lots of fat lost! Reward, reward, reward!

Good Afternoon To All the trainers.
I would like to say a big Thank you for all the encouragement and support that I have recieved over the past 3months. It seems like awfully long ago, but I am glad I took the first step and began my journey towards healthy living. Having gone through so much challenges through this 3 months I feel that I have definitely became stronger, faster, fitter and hopefully leaner. Now with the continuation of the training with you guys, my hope is that I could achieve my target weight for the end of the year!
To all my mates, grp mates,acquintance, and friends!
What journey we have been on yeah?
I would haven’t gone through all that with out all of you. You have truly inspired me to move it move it! To be honest, the spirit that I have witness over the past 3 months is amazing. I have seen some of you who prove the saying: Age is not a barrier to success. I have see the true meaning behind that now!
I would like to say special thank yous to the following people whom I felt gave me immense support throughout my journey:
Sy Fei: Thanks for always smiling and encouraging even though how tired you might be, your smiles always brings the spirit up! Just please, do make me mimic ur cartwheels… I really cant do it!! haha..
Patricia: Lady, you have alot of determination! I am impressed! Seeing all that weight you loss, and your determination to get to your goals, I am amazed. I truly am. All the best in reaching your target of wearing the dress you did, 14 years ago!
Felicia: Thanks for pushing me throughout the challenge. Your cander and your support has helped me pushed my boundaries!
Yue En: Dude, I don know how you do it.. But you do it darn well I must say! Your determination to keep the flab off and keep your energy levels up are amazing. Seeing you juggle work, studies and workout… I am in awe! Please continue what you are doing! And we must keep in touch to continue encouraging each other! Yes?
cheers to that my man!
Shafiq? <–sorry if i spelt wrong: My friend, you are so strong, I always dread partnering you during the bootcamps. I feel almost like a doll, and you can push and drag me around as you wish! Haha… All the best to your future bro!

You are all amazing for having come this far and achieved so much. Something each and every one of you should be proud of.
I recall the first few weeks of boot camp where I saw determined participants “drag” themselves from one station to the next, looking a little gloomy and red in the face, some gasping for air but still you persevered. As the weeks passed, this “dragging” slowly changed to a light bounce in your step till I saw a group of individuals sometimes “struggling” from one station to the next but this time, they encouraged each other, they laughed and talked between stations……most of all they radiated “good health”.
Watching you all each week just encouraged me to continue my workout sessions be it running, cycling, boot camp or going to the gym.
Keeping and staying fit is hard work but it’s also fun and enjoyable and exhilarating and rewarding. Yes we’ll have days when it feels like too much work or we don’t have “enough time” but hopefully this experience will also give you some lasting memories of what living a healthy lifestyle can also bring.
I hope the support from your work colleagues and the wisdom and advice offered by your trainers provides you with the encouragement to make this lifestyle change a permanent one.
I’m looking forward to catching up with you at this Friday’s (6 Nov) launch to be held at Singapore Expo. Encourage your work colleagues, CEO, supervisors, etc to come along and get a taste of the “journey” you’ve experienced.
A BIG congratulations on what you’ve achieved so far and here’s to more personal milestones to come. See you on the exercise trail….
