Giusy In my old ways, I would eat lunch and then dinner really late at night and I wasn't really hungry the rest of the day. So, the idea of my getting up in the morning and making myself eat was strange, but I did it. I did not increase my workouts; rather I replaced them with Michelle's Body Breakthru DVD workouts. The first week I lost 3 pounds and was really astonished. I didn't feel like I was on a "diet" because I was eating a lot and so often. I didn't deprive myself of anything but really made an effort to stay within my calorie count. All together I lost 22 pounds and 14 inches in about 10 weeks!

Mimi For the longest time I did not think I could devote myself to anything other than my family’s needs, and I felt fully justified. I gained a lot of weight. Food was such a convenient “fix” and easy pleasure I could afford in my schedule...or so I thought. It’s funny but as I got bigger, I felt more and more invisible and unhappy. I lost almost 20 lbs. and I hope to continue to lose 10-15 lbs more. I look forward to what life has to offer in all its challenges and pleasures and I feel more confident in all aspects of my life.

Jill I am 41 years old, married and stay busy raising my three young girls, ages 2 to 10. I have always been fairly active and enjoyed exercising, but over the years I had gradually put on some pounds. I tried to lose the weight and inches on my own, but was not successful. I was frustrated and unhappy with my body, so that’s when I decided to try the Your Body BreakThru program. I ended up surpassing my goal and I lost 17 pounds, including 4 inches off my hips, which is where I carry a lot of my weight. I am really happy with my results, but mostly I feel better about myself, having made the commitment to this program and losing the weight I wanted to lose. Best of all, I feel more comfortable in clothes and can wear a bikini for the first time in over 15 years! Thank you Body BreakThru! STATS Total Weight Lost 17 pounds Pant Size From 8 to 4
Christine I have been on many other diet programs in the past – THIS ONE WORKS!! So far I’ve lost 17 lbs in just over 2 months. It took me almost 2 years to loose the same weight with another program. The diet doesn’t feel like a diet but a change in lifestyle. Learning to eat smaller meals throughout the day was a challenge at first, but once I got used to it I reaped the rewards. Food portioning is also very important. I am now able to eat everything I want (including chocolate and beer), in moderation. While I have always exercised, I didn’t generally lift weights; I was definitely the type of girl that felt cardio was the most important thing for me to lose weight. Wow is all I can say. I can really see the results of the DVD workouts and especially the sculpting exercises. I am more defined and feel so much stronger. Thanks Michelle!

Ana Hi I am Ana Olson and I am on a journey. A journey towards a better me. I gained a ton of weight when I got pregnant and I didn't lose much after my baby was born. I needed to gain some control over my health. I haven't reached my ultimate goal yet but I am getting there. I have lost over 20 pounds so far but that isn't the change that has made the biggest difference. It is the energy and confidence and strength that I have gained that have made the biggest difference. My life has been crazy between working part-time, caring for my 13-month-old daughter and trying to be a good wife, sister, daughter and friend. After a few weeks of doing these workouts though I noticed that I sleep better, my mood is better and I race after my toddler more easily. I think anyone should try this program. It is a great way to feel proud that you are making a change in your life. Check in with me on this website as I plan to keep you posted on my continued weight loss.

Lisa Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a 36-year-old wife and mother of two girls. Over the years I had slowly starting putting on weight. It wasn’t a huge amount, but enough where I started seeing a difference in certain areas of my body so I decided to give this program a try. I was informed that although I ate healthfully, I needed to watch my caloric intake and eat more frequently throughout the day. The workouts in this program were a lot different than what I was used to doing; they gave me an “all-over” body workout that was much more fun than hopping on a treadmill and lifting weights. I had so much fun doing them, it kept me motivated to move. What’s so great about the program is you can start a true beginner and slowly work your way up at your own pace. The best part is, you don’t even have to leave your house! Weeks later, I am fitting back into my clothes, looking and feeling better than I have in years. I have made a life change, and this program has made it easy to stick with it. I really did have a Body Breakthru! STATS Body Fat Loss 5% Total Inches Lost 8.5 inches
Betsy Hi my name is Betsy; I'm a mom, personal trainer and recreational athlete. Although most people would consider me pretty fit I just felt a little bulky before starting the Your Body Breakthru Program. I am always looking for something different and challenging to add to my more traditional workouts to give me a little bit of an edge so I decided try the DVD workouts and I started to notice a change in my body. I started to lean out a little more, drop a few pounds and my overall endurance and strength increased. It was everything I was hoping for and the best thing is I was having fun at the same time.

John Lamore, 50's Winner of the Body Challenge 2
"Thank You for the excellent guidance and motivation you gave me as a participant in the Breakthru Body Challenge. I learned a lot about how to balance calories, protein, carb's, fats. It was easier than I expected, and I feel great! I didn't have to eliminate some of the things I enjoy to lose 15 pounds of fat in 6 weeks. I'd recommend this program to anyone that wants a balanced approach to eating healthy."

"Just thought I would drop you a note to tell you some good news! After finishing the Breakthru Body Challenge, I've continued to follow the nutrition plan you recommended, as a result, my doctor informed me that I no longer need to take medicine to control my blood pressure. It really has changed my life for the better. And of course I've now lost 20 pounds of fat!"

Michael Healy, 40's
"My clothes are fitting well. I got a lot of positive comments from my wife - not too many other people see me naked, not that I'm going to talk about anyway."

Judy Binder, 60s
"I am able to wear clothes I haven't worn in a long time. And people are making comments, people who haven't seen me for a while. Saying my face is a lot thinner. The weight's come off. And I really feel great."

Stephanie Vendig, 69
"My energy has increased as I go deeper into strength training & cardio work. As an older adult, 69, I feel stronger, not frail or vulnerable."

Lee Benuska, 70s
"I learned that I needed good nutrition. That combined with exercise had made me more fit. My energy level has improved. For me the genius is the combination of proper nutrition and exercise."

Anne Dullaghan
"I learned portion sizes. I exercise more. It wasn't hard. I sometimes forget to eat four times a day."

Annie Hagen
"Good. Wonderful. I learned how to eat better. Exercise Better. Actually exercise more effieiciently. That's what was most helpful. I was consistent of what I was eating and when I was eating throughout the day, which I think is really important. I had plenty of energy. I didn't get sleepy in the afternoon - I used to. I lost 17 pounds - I love you. 14 pounds of fat. That's pretty good. I'm happy."

Sue
"I eat more meals. I learned to eat every four hours and up my protein. With the bagel I get in the morning, I now go get an order of egg whites or egg beaters. And I'll have protein with my oatmeal. And I've been eating more turkey sandwiches. I learned not to go too long between meals. I've learned that if I'm going to have wine then that's the carb that I have so I cut way back. Sorry. I've learned balance. I have to otherwise it doesn't work. I'm on the road so I have to know how to eat what's out there. I'm learning. And I learned not to get my heart rate up to high. Like when I'm running with my girlfriends - my heart rate would get up too high, so I'd have to walk rather than jog."

LeAnn Healy
(Lost 3.5% body fat dropped 8lbs of fat while keeping LBM about the same.)
"I think it's amazing that I was able to do that in six weeks, because I haven't been able to lose weight for years. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I did it's pretty easy. You just have to stay focus. And I did. And it worked. The main change for me was learning what my body needed versus what I thought it needed. And I just began looking at food as fuel, knowing how much I needed. And I'd reward myself with little treats when I could fit them in. I had to learn how to fit them in."

Leslie Balias
"I learned that I have to eat breakfast. And I have to eat four times a day. And I would never do that. This is a new way of living. And I can definitely see it in my body. And I have to go shopping (for clothes). I'm very happy and I appreciate it. My body started telling me when I had to eat every four hours. Then I had to eat. But I could work longer hours and I just felt better. People notice. People stop me all day long to tell me how great I look. Or they don't recognize me. I must have been pretty chubby."

Laura Burge
"I learned how to eat better. It's good. I learned I got to do more cardio. I didn't miss any food. I had a good balance of food and I really enjoyed the foods that I ate. I felt satisfied. It's hard to eat so often sometimes, especially if you're away from the house. You have to bring a sandwich with you. I feel I'll be able to continue this. I know I have to do a lot of cardio. It wasn't difficult. I did learn a lot. Even if I don't get first place, I learned a lot."
