A few years back I was overweight and unhappy. Each day as I was getting ready for work I watched T. V. One morning, I caught an interesting infomercial that I thought might solve my weight problem. I remember thinking, "This is too good to be true. It would never work." Weeks went by. Each time I heard that infomercial my ears would perk up and I'd listen. One day, I decided that I'd order the program. If I didn't like it, there was a money back guarantee so why not give it a try.
My kit came and boy was I ever excited. I really wanted it to work. I followed the program and to my surprise, IT DID WORK! I lost about 30 pounds.
Unfortunately, over the course of time, I got lazy and fell into my old, bad habits. I experienced some stressful life situations and before I knew it I had gained back all the weight. I knew what to do but I just couldn't get motivated.
I began gaining more and more weight. I became more and more unhappy with each and every day. My clothes became tighter. I was now wearing a size 18 and they were uncomfortably tight. If I didn't do something soon, I'd have to go into the next size. I absolutely refused to buy a size 20. It was bad enough I had become a "big girl"; I was not going to go shopping in the "big girls" shop.
That was it. I decided to get back to the only program that had truly worked well and quickly for me. I decided that I would get out my Six Week Body Makeover program and this time, there would be no stopping me. I WOULD NOT allow myself to be fat anymore.
I started the program December 2, 2007. I just couldn't believe it. After the first two weeks, I had lost 12 lbs. and I continued to lose weight consistently each week after that.
When I tried other programs in the past, I might lose 2-3 lbs. per month, if I was lucky. That didn't motivate me to stick with those programs. With the Six Week Body Makeover, I lost 2-3 lbs. each and every week. When I weighed and saw a loss, it kept me motivated to follow the plan and continue to lose more.
I went on the website each day and read through the forums. Luckily, I happened upon an amazing support group called The Phat Chicks in the Newbies section. The Phat Chicks had challenges that lasted about 6-8 weeks at a time. I decided to join them and I have to say it was one of the best and smartest decisions I made.
Each day, I would read and post. Everyone was so supportive of each other every step of the way. Each week we would post our weight and hopefully by the end of the challenge reach our challenge goal weight. I cannot tell you how important being part of this group was to helping me stick with the program. There were no judgements made. If someone was having a hard time, there was always support available.
Even though I have reached my goal weight, I continue to read and post on the Phat Chicks (and Mr. Skinny) thread. They are simply the best group of people out there. I don't know if I would have come this far without them.
I feel so very fortunate to have ordered this program. It took a while to get going but once I did, it was definitely the best money I ever spent. The Body Makeover Specialists, the other members of the Six Week Body Makeover community, Provida, and of course Michael Thurmond have truly changed my life.
I no longer feel bad about myself. I no longer feel unworthy. I've gone from wearing a super tight size 18 to wearing a size 4-6 and have lost 90 lbs. along the way. I keep thinking that one day I'm going to wake up and discover this is all a dream. Who ever would have thought that I'd come this far? I just can't believe it! I now love shopping and trying on clothes.
If you are tired of being overweight, just do it, purchase the Six Week Body Makeover. They have a money back guarantee. Trust me though, if you stick with it, you will lose the weight you want and need to lose. You won't want your money back.
We're getting ready to start a new year. Now is the time to make this the best year ever. Best wishes to you in your weight loss endeavors!
