SSU 2013 Giveaway: Stitch Fix- ENDED

Thank you so much for the amazing response to the first workout! I’m so happy you’re enjoying it 🙂 I did workout 1 for the first time a few weeks ago and it killed me in the best way possible. Hope you feel the same way. If you’re just finding out about Summer Shape Up, no worries, it is never too late to sign up! Check out the intro post here, and then leave a comment in any post being sure to click the box to sign up for my newsletter. The password for the first week’s workout and meal ideas will be emailed to you automatically after you sign up. 🙂

When I first started my weight loss journey, I quickly realized that it was not worth it to spend money on clothes during that time. I’d go buy an outfit for work, and it would be too big before I could wear it. It may seem like a “problem that’s not really a problem,” but clothes can be costly, and it’s a waste if you don’t get to wear them. I halted the clothing purchases since I knew my size would be temporary until I reached a healthier weight. Since then, I’ve always told my training clients to minimize clothing expenses while we’re working together, and instead to use a clothes shopping spree as an awesome reward when they hit their goal.

Many of you will hit new fitness goals with the Summer Shape Up. Even if the scale doesn’t budge -muscle is more dense than fat, so you could technically weigh the same and have a lower body fat percentage- your clothes could fit you differently. Maybe you just hit a fitness goal and want to celebrate, or could use a bit of a closet overhaul.

I’d like to share my Stitch Fix credit with a few lucky winners as the first Shape Up giveaway.

Stitchfix

I have a credit with Stitch Fix from referring people to the brand over the past 6 months or so. At first, I thought it would be cool to get a discount on what I purchase from them since I love my monthly Stitch Fix box, and the credit continued to grow. I was trying to think of a good way to use it and quickly thought of the perfect solution: give back to YOU, since you’re the reason why I have a credit with them in the first place.

I emailed Stitch Fix to see if it would be possible to do a giveaway and they more than happy to help me set it up.

Today’s giveaway is $3500 of Stitch Fix credit: $500 each to seven lucky winners. That’s a lot of new clothes!

    I would love to win this…I’ve gained about 50lbs. in the past 2 years and have no cute clothes. At all. And I don’t want to go out spending money on new clothes til I have lost the weight.

    I am pinning your SSU post….

    And also subscribing to you tube channel!

  2. Julia on June 3, 2013 at 5:41 pm

    I would love to win this SOOO much! I’ve been dying to try Stich Fix, but due to a graduate student’s budget, haven’t been able to yet. Plus – I need a new dress for weddings this summer!

  5. Amber A. on June 3, 2013 at 5:43 pm

    I am so excited for Summer Shape Up! I would love to win a Stitch Fix credit, because I am a teacher, and this summer I am looking forward to losing the weight I gained over the school year and while completing my Master’s in Divergent Learning. It will be the park, stadium steps, trails, and more for this gal!

  6. Rachel on June 3, 2013 at 5:43 pm

    Hi, I’d love to join your summer shape up! Time to get in pre-wedding shape. 8 months away!

  7. Kate on June 3, 2013 at 5:46 pm

    I’d love to get some refreshed clothes for summer! I feel like all I wear are workout clothes. 🙂

  8. Morgan on June 3, 2013 at 5:48 pm

    So excited for summer shape up!!
    Hooray for Stich Fix!

  9. stephanie on June 3, 2013 at 5:50 pm

    I would love to win the StitchFix credit because i have ordered a ‘fix’ before and it was so much fun! I cant wait to incorporate some of the SSU into my workout schedule!

  10. Tiffany on June 3, 2013 at 5:51 pm

    I’ve wanted to try Stich Fix sooo bad! I also subscribed to your You Tube channel 🙂

  11. Deborah on June 3, 2013 at 5:54 pm

    I would love to have some new clothes that can show off all of my lovely new muscles!

  12. Rachelle on June 3, 2013 at 5:54 pm

    I’d like to sign up for the Summer Shape Up. I just set my wedding date for June 7th 2014 and this will be the perfect kick off for my year of fitness!

    Also, I am busy recovering from open heart surgery and am FINALLY able to run again (have a half marathon planned for October), so I would love to celebrate my new summer running body with some stitch fix clothes!

  13. Roya on June 3, 2013 at 5:55 pm

    I would love some new clothes!!

  14. Kelly on June 3, 2013 at 5:55 pm

    It would be so awesome to win! I’ve been in a wardrobe rut recently and I don’t have the money to work in new trends right now. Plus I just did a Goodwill purge so my closet is a bit empty!!!

  15. Deborah on June 3, 2013 at 5:56 pm

    Just subscribed to your youtube too- do we post that on here?

  16. Cori on June 3, 2013 at 5:59 pm

    I would love to win this because I have a 3 month old at home and I’m realizing that I don’t have the time to try on new clothes, and enjoy shopping like I used to. I would love to have someone decide for me and ship them directly to me. I am excited to use your workouts to help me not only feel better but get my body back. My son is perfect…..but my body isn’t quite there yet!!
    Thanks!

  17. Ellie on June 3, 2013 at 6:02 pm

    I want to win because I am starting a new job in July and would love to have some new items in my wardrobe to feel more professional!

  18. Kristen Martzan on June 3, 2013 at 6:02 pm

    I’ve been having the exact “happy problem” you described above- weight loss is great, but not having a thing to wear is no fun! This would be a great treat for all my hard work thus far! 🙂

  19. Courtney on June 3, 2013 at 6:03 pm

    Great workout and meal planning ideas! After being a ballet dancer for 15 years growing up, now in my late 20’s it’s been hard to find ways to loose the weight I gained after stopping dance. Gina, you inspire me to be the best me and treat my body well with clean healthy eating and great simple workouts I can do before or after working long days at work! Day one was great and I am embarrassed to say I am already sore!!!

  20. Elyse on June 3, 2013 at 6:09 pm

    New clothing and workout all in one post?! It’s a girls dream! Workout is on the book for today. Thank you!

  21. Eva on June 3, 2013 at 6:09 pm

    would love to win because I love your stitch reviews — seriously cute stuff!!

  22. Molly on June 3, 2013 at 6:09 pm

    So excited for Day !! thanks again Gina – I’m thankful to have a plan to work with! & Yay to stitchfix – it’s awesome!

  23. Eva on June 3, 2013 at 6:09 pm

    just subscribed to new youtube channel!!

  24. Kelly on June 3, 2013 at 6:09 pm

    just subscribed on youtube. My hubby is going to laugh at me so hard when I attempt these….

  25. Beverly on June 3, 2013 at 6:10 pm

    I would love to try out Stitchfix because I need fashion help!!

  26. Lindsey W on June 3, 2013 at 6:11 pm

    I have been dying to try stitch fix!!

  27. Jay on June 3, 2013 at 6:11 pm

    I’ve never heard of Stitch Fix before . . . . looks cool! Of course, I signed up for your new You Tube channel – it’s great!

    I would like to win the Stitch Fix because I have had no less than 4 people comment on my lack of clothing variety in the last couple of days. I work out in my husband’s old soccer shorts and t-shirts, much to his dismay, and I wear a variation of the solid-color t-shirt year round (long sleeved in winter, short sleeved in summer and the occasional v-neck wonder) with jean shorts in summer and jeans in winter!

    Your post today really resonated with me. I think I don’t buy clothes because I’m not at my “target” weight. I have been trying to lose the same 15 lbs. forever! I don’t want to buy clothes until I get there. Getting there is taking a looooooong time. I now know it is NOT for lack of working out (workout 1 kicked my but by the way!). I really need to change what and how much I eat. It’s so tough to know the right thing to do (cut calories or fat or carbs?) . . . it’s paralyzing!

  28. Kristy H. on June 3, 2013 at 6:11 pm

    I would love to win, I despretely need some new summer clothes. Awesome giveaway.

  29. Jenna on June 3, 2013 at 6:12 pm

    Just finished workout 1! It was awesome! I was wiped by the end. I even forgot my sneakers, which usually would be a great excuse to miss a workout, but not when it’s summer shape-up! I went home got my sneakers and made the trek back to the gym 🙂

  30. Sarah Jane on June 3, 2013 at 6:12 pm

    I am already loving SSU! It is giving me more motivation to get up early and workout before work since I get to try new exercises and I have a set plan.

    I would also love to get some new wardrobe pieces because I am finishing up grad school in December and could use some new, work clothes that actually fit for my job hunting.

  31. Rebecca on June 3, 2013 at 6:12 pm

    Hi Gina! This is my second time doing shape up and did workout 1 this morning paired with TurboFire 30 for my HIIT cardio, def sweaty after that one! Although I am not trying to loose weight, I am trying to get back into strength training after taking a short hiatus the past few months. I will be sore tomorrow!

  32. Hyedi on June 3, 2013 at 6:15 pm

    OMG I would love to win this! I haven’t been able to buy any new work clothes since I’ve lost some weight and it’d be awesome to buy some stuff that fits just a bit better!

  33. Shannon on June 3, 2013 at 6:15 pm

    I’ve been losing weight since starting running again and am on a really limited budget right now, so I would love to win the credit so I can get myself some new clothes that actually fit!

  34. Shannon on June 3, 2013 at 6:15 pm

    I’m getting ready to transition jobs from one where I could dress very casually (yoga pants, tshirts) to one where I have to dress business casual. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of expendable income to spend on a new work wardrobe. I would love and could really use the stitch fix credit!!

    Love your blog 🙂

  35. Shannon on June 3, 2013 at 6:16 pm

    I haven’t lost much weight but since I’ve been working out more consistently a lot of my clothes are fitting differently. My wardrobe could use some help!

  36. Elise on June 3, 2013 at 6:19 pm

    I would LOVE a new wardrobe. I’m a grad student starting law school in the fall, and am 10 years out of highschool, yet I STILL have high school clothes in my closet since I haven’t had an income in oh…ever. This would help rectify that for sure!

  37. Tiffany on June 3, 2013 at 6:20 pm

    I would love to wear something other than workout clothes 🙂
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  38. Theresa T on June 3, 2013 at 6:21 pm

    I’ve loved their recent posts on their blog and would love to wear some of those pieces!

  39. Carly M on June 3, 2013 at 6:26 pm

    I would love to try stitchfix. I don’t have a big shopping budget so I tend to always buy basics and neutral colors that go with everything. Stitchfix seems like a cool way to add more exciting, unique pieces to a wardrobe. Great giveaway!

  40. Laura on June 3, 2013 at 6:28 pm

    I have recently lost weight and definitely need some updated clothes – thanks for sharing!!! Love your blog!

  41. Erin on June 3, 2013 at 6:29 pm

    I would love to win, I NEED a wardrobe overall!

    I am loving your summer shape up! This is the first time I’ve attempted something like this and I’m stoked to keep following! I also subscribed to your YouTube channel :).

  46. Aly on June 3, 2013 at 6:35 pm

    I would love some new clothes because some days looking good=feeling good 🙂

  47. Sarah @ Love Bites on June 3, 2013 at 6:35 pm

    Wow what a fantastic prize, I’d love to win it! I’m doing summer shape up (in the dead of winter in Australia!) and I’d like to say THANK YOU for motivating me to get my sorry butt out of bed this morning and to a Spin class 🙂

  48. Kate on June 3, 2013 at 6:38 pm

    I’d love to win because as a social work grad student I’ll take all the help I can get! I subscribed on youtube too!

  49. Allison V. on June 3, 2013 at 6:41 pm

    I’m getting back in shape after baby 2, and I am ready to update my wardrobe. Things don’t fit the same , even though I’m back to my pre-baby weight. Hopefully I’ll be ready after the shape up.

  50. Danielle on June 3, 2013 at 6:42 pm

    I want to win because I want to be the best possible version of myself – as a manager, girlfriend, sister, daughter, BFF – and I want to look fab while I’m rocking it!
