Nat's Wrap Up.....

My story is a bit different than Mandy's.........I have been heavy ever since I got out of high school and realized that you cant survive off of fast food. My eating habits changed after I had my daughter and had gallbladder issues. Ever since then I really researched what I was eating and how it was affecting my body. I have slowly lost weight over the past 3 years and even though I had lost some weight, I still wasnt comfortable with my body and how it looked! So then me & Mandy decided to do Body Back. 

When I signed up for Body Back I expected big changes, what I got was a life change :) I realized so many things about myself during this 8 weeks.......for example I really didnt hate working out or running like I thought, I hated being out of shape and how hard that made it! Now that I am more in shape, I actually like getting out of the house and being active every day! 

I will never be able to say enough wonderful things about the Body Back program. It has completely changed me, and I love it :) Amanda described Breanne so perfectly....."She knows just when to push you to your hardest, and when to back off and just say something sweet. ". 

Ok, on with my results....

Before, After, % Change

Weight: 158, 147, 7%

Chest: 37, 35, 5% <-- And I wasnt wearing a bra.....my boobs are actually shrinking! Damn!

Waist: 31, 28.5, 8% YAY!

Hips: 43, 41, 5%

Thigh: 26, 24.5, 6%

Arm: 11.5, 11, 4%

I cant believe I am going to put my before/after pictures on here but Mandy is right, we wanted this blog to be real so here goes..........

Seriously??? My back fat situation was RIDICULOUS! 

And my last picture is one of me in a bikini.....now I may not look like a supermodel but Body Back has given me the confidence to wear it even though I haven't owned one since high school!

Thank you Body Back girls for all of your support and kind words, you will forever have a spot in my heart :) Breanne, words cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me!

Now, my weight loss journey is not over. I would like to get down to 140 before going back to school. I weighed in this morning at 146.6 (Down 0.4 from final weigh in). Not a huge loss but I'm not surprised because i did splurge a little bit this weekend.......though after looking at my before pictures, I have NO appetite! 

Thank you everyone who has supported me through this process, Mandy - I could have never done it without you! We are doing so many life changing things together right now, I dont know how we are going to survive when we get jobs in the real world, without each other........hmmm maybe we just have to get jobs together! Love you!

XOXO,

Nat
