If you’ve missed dates and events, lumped increasingly impossible expectations on yourself, or found yourself unable to enjoy your life in general because of your weight, you’re not alone. The world of weight loss is oversaturated with techniques and brands where happiness and fulfillment is only achieved by reaching a certain number on the scale. Self-worth goes so far beyond weight, yet women frequently find themselves in a perpetual cycle of dissatisfaction because instead of focusing on their power to succeed, the solution being presented to them is designed to fail. Herbal supplements, shakes, gummies, calorie counting, restrictive dieting, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and Curves—you’ve probably tried most or all of these—and so has Amber Behn. Since then, she’s developed a coaching business centered around helping women, and Amber Behn Coaching is becoming the ABCs of women’s weight loss.
In 2020, Amber hit 350 pounds. She followed the program that she’s now developed into her Your Weightless Journey program and lost 70 pounds in a year. What gave her the most success? Positivity. Regardless of your training protocol, positivity needs to be in your ABCs. It’s so much harder to lose weight when you see it like a devil on your shoulder. Women are conditioned to focus more on the negative when it comes to body image—programs motivate them to get rid of weight instead of build fitness, to fear failure instead of embracing success. Amber was lucky enough to find a kind and supportive trainer when she thought her only option was bariatric surgery. No matter what choice she made about surgery, she needed to keep to a healthier lifestyle, and it inspired her to work in fitness.
Despite the challenges of promoting women in the fitness industry, Amber remains resolute. Her social media focuses heavily on the natural benefits of a healthy mindset. When the media in America is generally watered down with quick solutions, she keeps her marketing on long-term success. How you feel about yourself is in your control, and you can accomplish any goal you put your mind to if you affirm your right to feel confident. Amber has grown her business by going beyond training. She fights other weight loss misconceptions, even as small as encouraging a well-fitting wardrobe so clients don’t warp their body image. Standard size clothing in the US is based on body measurements from almost 100 years ago, and there are many other misleading pressures on women trying to lose weight. You can challenge them all.
Your Weightless Journey has a stalwart fitness background. Amber is a Certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She’s been a contestant on the business competition reality show “The Blox Season 15 and ranked in the top 10%, and she was featured on “On the Edge” with April Mahoney, a society and culture podcast. Clients of hers have reported numerous benefits including 40lb weight loss in 6 months, raises and promotions at work, developing confidence to start families and pursue creative tendencies, improved relationships, and meeting friends that support their journey. It all comes from an uncovered love for the self. The program fits all schedules with significant virtual availability, and you can book a free consultation as early as now! The training program will start with emphasis on developing a body positive and healthy attitude. Over time, Amber wants to develop this business with better and better technology so she can reach more women. Raising the standard for women’s weight loss sends shockwaves through the fitness industry.
If long-term fitness success appeals to you, think of your ABCs and check out Amber’s Your Weightless Journey program. She hosts Facebook Live Events weekly, conducting weight loss workshops, hosting giveaways, and entertaining special guests. Her email list is one way to be notified about these events, as well as deals on her program. Help Amber build a business that will inspire more female entrepreneurs while also working towards your own transformation, and discover the fundamental importance of a positive mind.
