Congratulations Therese!
What was your biggest body success resulting from the 28-day challenge?
Not only did I lose a total of 17.5 pounds and drop 5 inches, I am also down 2 sizes as well! My waist area reduced significantly; I was amazed at the change I noticed in such a short amount of time. My overall body is more toned and I am noticing muscled definition which makes me want to work out even more!
How did your skin change?
My skin has changed dramatically! I have rosacea and have struggled with it for many years. It is a very frustrating skin condition and between my water consumption and the changes in my diet and the exclusive use of Dr. Perricone’s products I feel like my skin has been reborn! I no longer suffer from the redness, breakouts or constant irritation and everyday is a great skin day for me! I look refreshed in the morning and my skin tone is actually lighter due to the reduction in the redness. I have my “peaches and cream” complexion again that I had in my teens and twenties, and for that I am eternally grateful!
What’s the impact on your daily life?
One word: ENERGY! I have a hypothyroid and I have had days in the past where I felt very tired and sluggish. Since I began the Start Fresh! program I feel incredible. It is like someone turned the switch on and it has not been off since. I work at a very busy medical office and in the past I would get tired and irritated easily which is not terribly productive or acceptable. Now, I feel good all day, I feel sharp and ready to take on whatever my day brings me. I have a family and between working fulltime and being attentive to my family’s needs I feel like I can do it all. I don’t feel drained or exhausted when I get home and I have the energy that I need to balance both, which many of us women do on a daily basis. My mind is clear and I feel a great sense of pride that I made this commitment to myself and that I have kept with it. I deserve it!
Is the 28-day meal plan something you can sustain?
Absolutely! I can not even fathom eating like I used to. My sugar and carb cravings are gone and I look forward to a lifetime of eating well.
What are your tips to success?
Commitment to yourself. Each one of us deserves the very best of what life has to offer! Once you get into that frame of mind, everything else falls into place and becomes a very, very good habit. You have to truly change!
Congrats Therese! I am so impressed with your changes and that you were able to stick to the diet. I had a hard time where I had 3 days on and 3 days off {repeat}. Your stamina and resolve inspire me to do better next challenge!
wow I am soooo impressed, I love Dr. Perricone’s book’s and have bought just recently one of his products. But this woman looks amazing and her age 46 she looks no where’s near that. I believe in what we put into our mouth can change the outside. I look forward to getting on board with the challange…
Therese, congrats! You look at least 10 years younger and I’m sure you’re feeling fantastic. Great job, very motivating!
Nicole, Jeannette & Sally, thank you so much for the lovely words!! This program is amazing & the best part is that IT WORKS! Everything you put into it, you will get back in return….plus more. It really is simple, eat clean, move your body & care for your skin & you will reap the rewards. The best to each of you, as I like to say “Your personal best is yet to come!”
