Kathy's Weight Loss Blog

By Kathy

My name is Kathy (owner of this website), and I wanted to share my weight loss story with you. I am no celebrity, fitness fanatic, a person that has tons of money for a personal trainer or someone like that. I am just a wife/mom who figured out a system that worked better than all the famous diets, work out programs, etc.

First off let me tell you a little about myself. My husband John and I have been married for 15 years. We have 2 boys and a girl. Our oldest Marc is 13, then Erik 9 and Stacia 5. Marc and Erik were doing baseball together, however recently Erik started soccer instead.

Which basically means our lives are more hectic with me chauffeuring around the kids and remember which day is which practice and who goes where. Hopefully my story can inspire you to try what I discovered and lose some weight!

From Left to Right: Before, and After

As you can see above on the left, I was getting to a point where my weight was becoming a health issue. And I knew I needed to do something fast, or risk not being around to see my kids grow up. I needed HELP, and after seeing these recommendations on American Television, I decided to try Acai Berry and since I found out you can actually try them for Free...

So How Did I Gain The Weight To Begin With?

I used to weigh 58 kilos. I was never runway model skinny, but I was slim. Most importantly, I felt desirable to my husband John, with whom I had a very satisfying marriage. After my first son was born, I gained about 7 kilos. But then I slowly lost it over the next 2 years by pretty much just being active and walking on the treadmill from time to time.

Then came Erik who was a huge blessing, but also a huge baby at over 4 kilos :-) So I gained some of the weight back... but this time it didn't come off like it did after Marc was born. After I had Erik, I never got below 142. Then finally, after Stacia was born, I had overall gained a total of 21 kilos.

I weighed 79 kilos and felt uncomfortable in my own body. On the rare occasion that I looked in the mirror, I didn't even know the person staring back at me. John was supportive, but I knew he didn't find me as attractive as he used to. And though we had 3 beautiful very active children, even the opportunities we did have for intimacy were not even taken advantage of anymore.

It was weighing very heavily on my psyche as well. My weight was all I could think about. I stopped going out with friends and family,

I felt ugly and it made me sad.

My sister Kate was in almost the exact situation I was so I called her up, and together we committed to becoming healthy again and losing these extra kilos we were carrying around - for good.

Of all the things I've been through in my life, Kate has been there for me, and we always made the best "team". She's 3 years older, but she never treated me like her 'little' sister when we were growing up, and I always appreciated that.

So we started our journey doing what most new dieters do - trying brand-name diets like Atkins, Jenny Craig, Slim Fast, Nutri-slim, South Beach, etc. We bought diet products advertised inside Shape magazines, Women's Health, and Fitness too.

You name it, Kate and I tried it. Even the one that Anna Nicole Smith was promoting for awhile - we tried them all. But none of them gave us real results that lasted.

I'd lose 5 kilos or so (which I then learned was mostly water weight) and would gain it right back. Same with Kate. She actually gained weight on one of the diets! We were so frustrated with these programs giving us false hope, only to see all the weight plus more come back.

So, I just gave up.

I stopped caring for myself altogether, and eating seemed like the only thing that could make me feel better. Tears are streaming down my face right now as I think about that time in my life. It was a horrible downward spiral. And by the time I hit rock bottom, I weighed 82 kilos.

Most people think that overweight people got that way because they are lazy but the truth is, many women gain extra weight because of life, children, work, school, and an overall lack of time. Though it's the best job in the world, it can get extremely exhausting.

Who wants to come home after a full day of work, get the kids to to their practices, pick them up, help with homework while cooking dinner, put them to sleep, and then try to make a dash to the gym? That is insane - we aren't Superwomen right?

No - this extra weight had nothing to do with laziness. Not many Moms like us have lives that can include going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. So having tried all the diet programs that we did, and having found nothing that worked, I resigned to the fact that this was just the way I was going to look for the rest of my days on this Earth.

Until a TV show changed my life forever....

The TV show that completely turned my life around!

One afternoon I got a rare opportunity to watch an American television show called “Oprah” while my husband took the children to practice. Little did I know that this would be the most life-altering event that has ever occurred in my lifetime.

I would not say I owe my life to this television show, but I can definitely say that if I had not been watching that afternoon when an American doctor named Dr Oz came on to talk about a new superfood called Acai berry, I would never have been able to lose all the extra weight I had gained, and my life could have gone in a very different direction.

If you haven't heard of Dr Oz, he is vice-chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University. He had authored over 400 original publications, book chapters and medical books, and since I trust Oprah's recommendations fully and completely, I knew that this was worth a shot.

Dr. Oz raved about a new berry from the Amazon Rainforest called Acai (pronounced ah-sa-ee). It is more powerful than pomegranate or red wine in producing incredible benefits for the body including promoting fast but healthy weight loss, and enhanced mental focus and concentration.

But the part that hooked me was when Dr. Oz explained how Acai helps you lose weight by reducing hunger and raising energy levels.

It seemed like the product I we'd been searching for all along so I called Kate up right away and told her to turn on the show. As it turns out, she was already watching and was just about to call me.

After I saw the show I did a bit of online investigation and found that even CNN, ABC, CBS and the Wall Street Journal have been covering the health benefits of Acai berries.

And right then it hit me - Like a ton of bricks...

I finally remembered where I had heard about some of the benefits of Acai before - lots of American celebrities had used this diet and was very successful with it.

So I then I did some research about Dr. Oz, and found out he was to be on another talk show the very next day. However I was surprised while watching, to find that he wasn't discussing Acai, but instead talking about another method he and his clients had found was another extremely effective way of losing weight.

He explained that how cleansing your colon with a colon cleanse is a great way to lose unwanted weight and clear out all the waste and toxins that build up inside of us throughout our lives.

He talked about how years worth of gunk and junk get trapped in your colon and trap in all sorts of toxins which can cause excess weight, and affect our general health as well.

It is a thick slime like tar (yuck right?) that builds up inside you, and can actually add inches to your waistline. But there were some products, where all you have to do was take a pill and they will naturally clean out your colon for you.

Also on the show he explained that, you can sweat and suffer through all the exercise you want, and still not lose weight if you're not using the proper supplements to clean you out and energize you.

So that got me to thinking: "Maybe thats why all those diets failed for me. Dr. Oz said that cleansing out this sludge would automatically make you lose weight in ways dieting and exercise can not, so why can't I do that?"

Obviously Oprah and Dr. Oz weren't trying to peddle some product for personal profit like all the ads i've seen on the internet for this stuff. They were simply trying to get the public understand the health benefits of using either Acai berries or colon cleanse supplements. And if Rachael Ray did it herself, I figured "Why couldn't I"?

Kate was still skeptical. Until she saw the results I started getting almost instantly. Within days the excess weight I had carried around for so many years was beginning to melt away. It was a miracle.

The Acai Berry & Colon Cleanse combo diet that melted my fat away like magic

The two products that Oprah and Dr. Oz spoke about: Acai berries and colon cleansing supplements were all I had needed all along. Typically they are sold separately by two different companies. But, I had the idea to combine these two methods. The problem was, I needed to find a way to test it without spending lots of money, so that's exactly what I did.

The ones I found (and still use to this day), are Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse. I like to call it the "Pure Package".

Here is how I combine them so effectively:

Step 1:

Acai Berry is the first and most important part of my routine. Acai Berry helps me:

• Boost my energy by giving me more vitamins and nutrients than any other food on the planet.

• Curb my hunger so I don't need to eat nearly as much. You just do not feel hungry anymore.

• Stabilizes my metabolism to promote healthy body cycles.

• Revitalizes my skin cells. So when I lose the weight my skin will be tight around my body. This also tightens skin around my neck and face. Basically tightens your skin throughout your body. My husband says I look 10 years younger since I started the Acai.

I got a free 30-day trial of Acai Berry and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Step 2:

Colon Cleanse is the second step in my routine. While Acai Berry gives me energy, revitalizes my cells and helps suppress my hunger, the Colon Cleanse:

• Removes walls of aged sludge in my colon cleansing you of the toxins that naturally build up inside the body.

• Now that my colon is completely cleaned out this in turn allows my body to accelerate fat expulsion by literally flushing more fat out through my newly cleared colon. It's amazing.

• By having the colon completely cleared out, my body actually absorbs the Acai Berry even quicker.

• This allows even more fat and toxins to be eliminated through the colon, including toxins built up in the liver, gal bladder, pancreas and even breast tissue.

• When combined, this becomes a revitalizing cycle that keeps on benefiting the body over and over again. You become beautiful again from the inside to the surface with your ultimate weight, and totally cleansed body, making you more confident, and feeling like you can take on the world!

• You'll drop kilos of retained water and fat, tighten your skin, look & feel 10-15 years younger, boost your energy, regulate your mood, your blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.

I got a free bottle of Colon Cleanse and I take 1 capsule in the morning and 1 in the evening when I take my Acai Berry. They are the perfect weight-loss combination, helping melt away fat even in those tough to get areas like the lower tummy and bottom, and cleanse the system of harmful waste build up.

The results of the method were incredible!

My sister Kate said she'd let me try it out and if it worked then she'd order it too. And let me tell you - When she witnessed me losing 14 kilos during the trial period, she got right online and ordered hers too!

And since then, I continued using both products and have lost yet another 7 kilos! (That is a total of 21 kilos in 3 months!) I am back to 137 and am just 4.5 kilos away from my pre-mom weight!

Feeling healthier, happier, and ready to take on the world!

My husband is so proud of what I accomplished and I have more energy to do fun activities with my kids. But best of all, I look and feel sexier than I did in my twenties!

My kids love "new Mommy" and I couldn't be more excited!

I hope my story provides you with the motivation and encouragement of knowing that you CAN lose weight. There's nothing special about me, I'm just a hometown girl who came upon a hard time, and was lucky enough to find the solution.

Just don't give up, because I know you can get to wherever you want to be, and I know that getting there will change your life in ways you never imagined. You will feel things you have not felt since you were 20.

Most importantly, you will finally be happy with yourself for tackling your weight once and for all. I can't even put into words how much this changed my life, and I know it can do the same thing for you.

I really recommend my method; it worked wonders when everything else failed. And the best part is that these products have free trials, so you can test them out with no risk whatsoever and make sure they are right for you.

Oh and Kate? She got her free trials and has already lost 11 kilos using the system. I'm telling you it works, and it can work for YOU. All you have to do is make it happen!

Rooting for YOU,

Tina

Be sure to order The "Pure Package" (Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse) if you want to get maximum results. Both products have amazing free trials with a full money-back guarantee. I just paid shipping (less than $5.00 for each). I'm not sure how long they are giving these away for free though so it's probably best if you get them right away.
