Breaking Down Your Member Dashboard

This is your hub for all the things: your Courses, Extra Resources, Important Links, and Bonus Guides.

The Gone For Good curriculum provides the framework of what you will cover during coaching. You and your coaches will modify and supplement as needed to customize.

Your Toolboxes contain all the supplemental lessons & resources you need to develop the skills & tools that you and your coaches deem may be needed to help you reach your goals & stay there. Feel free to just dive in or to ask your coaches for recommendations of what might benefit you the most.

Log into the portal – this is where you submit progress updates, get the weekly check-in link, log workouts, and message your coach (Premium).
Book a call – this is where you book SOS calls (Standard/Club) and Mindset Breakthrough Sessions (Premium).
Private podcast – this is where you can listen to replays of group calls

The guides here below will help you address specific, common challenges. They are also located within the Toolboxes.

Setting up your "portal" account

Your “portal” account is where you will upload progress updates, log strength workouts, receive the link to your weekly check-in form, connect MyFitnessPal (Premium clients) and communicate 1:1 with your coach (Premium clients).

The video to the left will walk you through the process. Please do this before your kickoff call so your coach can walk you through any issues.

Weekly Check-ins

Your weekly check-in form is the best way for your coach to know what’s going on with you & how she can help. The more thoroughly you complete the check-in form that is messaged to you every Friday afternoon through the portal, the better able your coach will be to give you useful feedback.

The form is also linked here for your convenience: https://forms.gle/48eQW52g4AHu5g5CA

We encourage weekly measurements & photos to help us keep tabs on your progress. We find that clients who embrace the “frequent” updates are typically more open to the coaching process, overall, and therefore have better results.

We prefer this frequency, not because anything drastic happens from one week to the next but because it helps you make doing it routine, gives you a weekend anchor to your goals, and will help you be more consistent with measuring sites so that the data you’re collecting is more reliable. We’re better able to track trends and make adjustments when we have more data.

If you have concerns about this, you can discuss this with your coach on your Kickoff Call.

She is now a homeschooling mom with three boys (4, 9, 16), a wife of 17 years, a veteran client of EAWC, and a newly certified Precision Nutrition coach. After years of struggling with her weight and yo-yo dieting, she found the answer to living a healthy, balanced life through EAWC, lost over 100#, and developed a passion to help women like herself achieve food freedom & happiness. She loves the beach, reading, fantasy football, and, of course, peanut butter.

Premium Coach

Sandi has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Masters in Counseling, Bachelors in Psychology, and is Certified Health, Nutrition, Sleep, Stress Management & Recovery Coach, and group exercise instructor. Through her own personal weight loss journey of losing 60 lbs, she found a love of fitness and helping women balance the demands of motherhood and career to find the space for and protect the boundaries necessary for their own self-care. She’s a mom of 2 and lives in New Jersey where she co-owns a local fitness studio. She loves to help her clients create real, sustainable lifestyle changes that impact all dimensions of their wellness and, more often than not, trickle into their households and end up creating positive changes for the other family members as well.

Meg is a NCI certified nutrition coach and NESTA certified personal trainer, Army wife, mother of two teenage girls, and lover all things fitness-y as well as ice cream. She’s a macro tetris pro and has done a little bit of everything in the fitness world. Marathons, CrossFit, bikini comps, bro lifting—she’s had fun doing most of it. It took lots of trial and error, and a couple of missteps, but has finally found a place of balance, and wants to be able to share that with others. She’s a firm believer in consistency over perfection, patience, and finding a way to live that is sustainable for YOU.

Mindset Coach

Jenny is a mindset mentor and life coach who helps her clients heal their relationships, emotions, energy, and mind so they can stop the behavior patterns that keep sabotaging their success. Utilizing specialized techniques like neurolinguistic programming and brain rewiring along with experience as a teacher and fitness and nutrition coach, she teaches her clients how to become strong and confident from the inside out and reconnect with their inner wisdom so they can process emotions, heal from past trauma, and live life without shame, fear, judgement, or confusion. Jenny and her husband Andy have been married for 14 years and have 2 children.

Exercise Physiologist

Rachel is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with a BS and MS in Exercise Science and a PhD (abd) in Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Sciences. After overcoming body dysmorphia and coping with her emotions using food and alcohol, she found that an integrated health and wellness approach addressing all aspects of the mind, body, and spirit was the key to long-lasting happiness and success & helps her clients do the same. She loves taking her 2 mini schnauzers & one giant on hikes, tending her goats & chickens on her farm, and couch time!
