Back in the Saddle!

Flashback almost 2 years ago when I began my healthy living journey! I started the end of May 2013.

Ending weight: 146.8lb 135lbs 132.6 129.4
Smallest part of waist: 29" 27.5" 27.5" 27" (total of 2")

Belly button: 36.5" 35" 34" 32.75" (total of 3.75")

2" below belly button: 37.5" 36" 35.5" 34.75" (total of 2.75")

Thigh: 25" 24" 23.5" 23" (total of 4")

Butt: 41" 39.5" 39" 38.5" (total of 2.5")

Chest: 34" 33" 33" 32.5 (total of 1.5")

Total weight loss to date: 17.4"

Total inches lost to date: 16"

My results were something to be proud of and I kept the weight off for over a year. Then I got comfortable and allowed little by little the bad food to creep back into my life. I began to forget what it felt like to be healthy, to have the crazy energy that I felt in 2013. I allowed the the little cheats here and there to turn into days of eating everything and anything that came into sight. I didn't feel good. I have learned over the last year to embrace who I am and to not be critical of the way I looked and I still live by the philosophy. But...I got tired of not feeling good. I got tired of my joints hurting, my neck feeling like a jumbled neck. I was tired of not having energy to play with my kids. I was just plain out TIRED!

So, we're back and better than ever because I have now seen first hand both sides of what eating healthy can do for you! So join my on my re-birth of health! This time around I am incorporating running, lifting, yoga, and quite possibly pole fitness! You'll never know what decides to pop up on these posts but I look forward to having you join me back on my journey TO HEALTH!

58 lbs and 13.5" LOST!

Detox Boot Camp Results!

My team just finished up our first "official" Detox Boot Camp. I've posted results a few successes that I've seen, here's some results in a group setting!

The boot camp participants (total of 6 people) collectively lost 58lbs and 23 inches in the waist & hips!!! That's crazy right?! Actually, that's just amazing!!

We gave away $100 Arbonne goody bag to the BIGGEST WINNERS in the most weight lost and the most inches lost. Our weight winner lost 13.5lbs and our inches winner lost 8.5"!! Can you believe it?!? Although the detox is more about becoming healthier on the inside, I love that we get to reward people by seeing the numbers drop! Some people don't lose any weight but see a crazy decrease in inches! Great proof of turning fat to muscle and gaining energy along the way!

One of the participants posted the following about her experience with the detox:
"My biggest victory by far was resisting so many yummy treats and food! I had about 5 birthdays this month we celebrated and went out to eat a lot and I had to hold strong a lot and be picky and ask for lots of modifications everywhere we went, but learned I could and be ok! I plan to keep up with the shakes often as they are yummy and convenient, and the no eating after 7 rule was really good for me. I learned a bunch of great new recipes for eating whole foods that we now love! I actually think that has been one of my new hobbies I discovered on the cleanse is to find and experiment with healthy whole food recipes that are fairly quick, easy and yummy! I like that nutrition is on my mind constantly now, the detox has made me way more aware of everything I eat and I have since picked up some great habits. I have always liked working out and running, but to line up my nutrition with my running goals have been epic for me and I am excited to try and blow my previous PR out the window at my next marathon at the beginning of Dec.! Thanks Steph and Arbonne!"

I LOVE what I do! The people are real, the results are real! What are you waiting for! We're going to be starting another boot camp soon with finale prizes and weekly prizes this go around! We'll give you a meal plan for the whole 28 days along with motivation and tips to help you sustain your new lifestyle. Email me if you're interested in joining, I would love to help you in your pure transformation!! stefanie.e.joseph@gmail.com

Allow your body to feel the way it is designed to feel!

So unfortunately no pictures with this post but honest results! I respect the privacy and only share pictures of clients who give permission!

My first client, Katie completed the 28 day fit program August 21st...just a little late to posting her results! Katie lost a total of 16 lbs in 28 days!! She has loved the program and has continued with the shakes and fiber because she's loved the way she's felt. Here's her testimonial: "This is a detox that real people can do with real families and real schedules...in short it is realistic!" Katie continues with the shakes but has added her daily coffee back in (which she was so excited to do!!) and has added milk back into her diet, making conscious choices of what milk products she uses! 

Bryan also completed the program and also lost a total of 16 lbs! Bryan personally admitted he still has over 100 pounds to lose but because of the drastic results and the way he has felt eating clean, he is continuing the program with the shakes as well and has learned to make better choices for the food he does eat. Additionally, Bryan started the Arbonne Metabolism Boost in his second month and is also walking every other day. He was the one that brought me this article on soda. I'm so proud of him for being more aware of what he puts in our body. I have no doubt he will reach his goal and am so blessed to be a part of his journey! 

I say it all the time to prospects for this amazing detox program. The weight loss is awesome, but that's not what it's all about! We really have no idea how good we can feel when we fuel our bodies with the right foods. Don't cheat yourself from feeling the way you should be feeling!

Ricks Family Results! You have to see!

Remember these guys? They took on the 28 day challenge head on and were ready to make the change! They committed themselves to 28 days of clean eating and supplemented with the Arbonne Fit Essentials. Let me just let the pictures speak for themselves!

Kathy

Michael

YES you read that correctly, a total of 39.5" and over 25lbs between the two of them in just 28 days! What do you notice the most about their transformation? I would love to hear your feedback and questions!

Again, this is all about weight loss, this is about treating your body to healthy choices and allowing it to process food the way our bodies are meant to process! Kathy had this to say about the program "I'm feeling so happy and healthy and feel that doing the Arbonne Essentials detox program for a month has helped form healthy habits. Look forward to my continued healthy weight loss."Mike said "I'm looking forward to continuing this course of work."

I am so proud of you for sticking to it! You guys did amazing and did it all on your own without any complaining...at least to me! This confirms yet again why I can stand behind these products. This is not a fad diet, this is real people making better choices!

90 Days of a healthier ME!

I have just passed my 90 day mark since I chose to become a healthier ME! I had no clue where this journey would take me when I started and I have gotten so much more out of this than the weight change. I truly believe I am the healthiest I have ever been inside and out. Sure I still have some pounds to lose, some toning to do, some muscle building to do, but I am extremely happy with the results thus far! It's not all about how I look on the outside anymore, it's also about what I feel on the inside. The detox truly cleaned me out of toxins I had no clue where trapped inside my body and has shown me that this cleaner way of eating is truly beneficial! Thanks to all who are following me on this journey; I truly hope that I have been an inspiration and I look forward to continuing to help others find their inner peace and shed a few pounds in the process!!
