I struggled with body image and crash dieting for as long as I can remember. It got to a point where I felt like I had two choices: 1) do it the “right way” with diet, extreme exercise, daily sacrifices, and losing 1 or 2 lbs a week only to gain it all back (and then some ) with one BBQ or 2) Crash dieting, harsh cleanses, calorie cutting, and unnatural supplements that worked as far as weightloss, but I felt and looked miserable. Both options were frustrating, I wasn’t happy, and it was taking a toll on my health. What appealed to me about Isagenix was the quality of their ingredients. With my health history, I cannot put anything unnatural in my body without worrying about side effects. The quality of the ingredients in Isagenix is incredible and I was excited to put something so healthy/organic/and pure into my body. So far, I’ve lost a total of 40 lbs and 45 inches. I’ve dropped down 3 dress sizes. My relationship with food is a healthy one now and that is a huge accomplishment for me. I have more steady and solid energy than I’ve ever had before. And I just feel….better. I never realized how sludgy I felt until I no longer felt sludgy. From someone who has tried everything, I finally found something that nourished me from the inside while losing weight quickly from the outside. My body is meeting in the middle and I could not be happier with my results. It really is the best of both worlds!

I have been a caretaker and people pleaser for as long as I can remember! I tried very hard to be a people pleaser and keep everything as ‘steady’ as I could. I often dismissed my own feelings because of it, without realizing. Food became my source of comfort from a young age and through most of my adult life. In February of 2014, I was feeling awful when my dear friend of more than 25 years, Alaine, died of cancer at the age of 50. This really shook me up and was my wakeup call. I knew I had to do something about my health. After the first week of following the 30-day program, I was astounded at how much more energy I had, how much better I was sleeping, and how I did not feel hungry at all. My body was responding so well to the products and along with all of those benefits, the pounds and inches started dropping at an incredible rate. Even my children were noticing. By January 2015, I hit my 100-pound weight released goal. In only nine months, I was able to regain my health and I’ve never felt better. I continue using many of the products because I enjoy them and feel so amazingly well. Everything has changed for me, all for the better. I’ve never felt this well and love this healthy lifestyle.

My wedding reception dress in 2014 made me take a long look at how I had let things go. Tired, sluggish, not feeling well…it was because I had picked up more weight than I had during any of my 3 pregnancies. Fast forward to now being a granny and I feel better than I did 10 years ago. This system has changed my life and my husband started too after seeing the change in me. Now it’s all about being SMART HEALTHY and Living Life GRAND!

In the fast pace world we live in, we sometimes neglect ourselves; we’re so focused on excelling in our careers, being the best parents, spouses, sisters/brothers, friends we can, but we forget that being a positive asset to those around us starts from within. It’s not about a number on a scale, it’s about feeling confident in your own skin…which translates into EVERY area of your life. I understand what it’s like to get caught up in the day-to-day of life, because I’ve been there too; sometimes weeks, months, years fly by because life is so busy and you get stuck in a routine, and often times a rut. You keep thinking “I’ll start to focus on me once xyz happens”…THAT, paired with a time that social media paints a false expectation of what you SHOULD (emphasis on should) look like, we measure ourselves comparably, which most times is not a motivation, yet a deterrent.

As for me, my wake up call was on 9/25 (the day after my bday) when I saw a picture from the day prior posted and felt like I didn’t even recognize myself. It was then that I knew I needed to make changes, could no longer sulk or feel insecure since I was taking zero action to change the situation. With that said, this change was ALL diet and getting my mind right, NOT the gym.
