WOMEN

1st Place
Natasha Bujold
Williams Lake, BC

Lost: 40 pounds!
Slimmed waist: 10.5 inches
Reduced body fat: 9%

Why I started
I looked in the mirror and realized I was heavier than when I was nine months pregnant.

How I did it
I started "Boot Camp" and lost 18 pounds in the first two weeks using the Élancé Weight Management System, Right Choice AM/PM and Petit Chocolat. With more energy, I joined a trail hiking group and started hiking twice a week.

How it changed my life
I have more self-confidence and energy. It’s easier to get on the floor and play with my son. I look great and feel healthier.

2nd Place
Jean Rogers
College Place, WA

Lost: 43 pounds!
Slimmed waist: 6 inches

Why I started
I had gained about 65 pounds after going through a painful divorce.

How I did it
I had two shakes a day, one healthy meal, two healthy snacks, drank lots of water and exercised! Right Choice AM/PM supplied the extra nutrition I needed. Super Omega gave me an emotional lift when I was feeling down. Élancé shakes left me feeling satisfied and like I’d had a dessert-like treat, too! I blended it into a morning smoothie with fruit – yummy!

How it changed my life
What a big difference a dear friend and Body Wise has made in my life! I just can’t express how thankful I am! I still have 20 pounds to go, but now I know how to do it.

3rd Place Woman
Carolyn Batastini – Santa Barbara, CA

Lost: 30 pounds!
Slimmed waist: 5 inches
Reduced body fat: 3.5%

Why I started
I had not been able to cross my legs in years. My health concerns were growing and my knees hurt all the time.

How I did it
The Élancé Weight Management System taught me how to eat properly. I no longer crave junk food like I used to. I absolutely love the Petit Chocolat chews. They quench my taste for chocolate and something sweet. I love having two of them with hot green tea in the evening as dessert. I now walk two miles every day and have energy to do some basic exercises.

How it changed my life
I can now fit into clothes which are two sizes smaller than I was wearing three months ago. My self-esteem is better. I can actually kneel down to play with my grandchildren. My skin looks healthier. And I can cross my legs, which I have not been able to do in years.

MEN

1st Place
Fred Smith
Rigby, ID

Lost: 34 pounds!
Slimmed waist: 7 inches
Reduced body fat: 8.16%

Why I started
Moving to Idaho allowed me to live out a lifelong dream of mine to own and learn to ride a horse. But I was so uncomfortable riding because of my weight that I decided something needed to be done.

How I did it
I started on the Élancé Weight Management System after my wife did because her results were so good. I decided to give the Challenge a try using the shakes, supplements, healthy eating tips and moderate exercise.

How it changed my life
WOW, what a difference just 90 days makes! I have so much more energy, I feel better and my clothes just started to fall off. So far I have gone from a size 42 to a size 36 in my jeans. Now I ride my buckskin, Sage, every Sunday.

2nd Place
Wayne Hartley
St. Augustine, FL

Lost: Over 25 pounds!
Slimmed waist: 6 inches
Reduced body mass index: From 37 to 32.8

Why I started
I wanted a complete lifestyle change with renewed health and energy. I threw away most of my old clothes so I couldn’t go back

How I did it
I achieved these results through a combination of diet and exercise. Instead of one snack-a-thon after another, I switched to a balanced low-fat, 1800 calorie fiet, supplemented by Élancé meal replacement shakes. Twice a day shakes replaced the snacks, and I ate 5-6 times a day (including the shakes).

I walked or did other forms of cardiovascular exercise, including lap swimming, for 30-60 minutes at least fives times a week. The big change, however, was adding circuit weight training three times a week for one hour.

How it changed my life
I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years. I have lost three coat sizes and my pants have “shrunk” from a 42 waist to a 38 waist in 90 days.

3rd Place
Dave Chadsey
Quesnel, BC

Lost: 25 pounds!
Slimmed waist: 4.5 inches
Reduced body fat: 4.9%

Why I started
I learned about Body Wise at the Quesnel Home Show and it sounded like something I could do without feeling like I was starving.

How I did it
I am truly surprised at how easy it was for me to lose weight on this program. Since being on Élancé Frappe, Élancé Apetit and the Right Choice AM/PM products, I feel great. I learned how to control my appetite by eating something every 2 ½ hours. I’ve also learned to choose healthy foods.

How it changed my life
I now feel 20 years younger! I get up in the morning and bounce down the stairs, completely forgetting that only a short time ago I could barely bend my knees, my back was sore and I used to have stiff muscles every day. I’m very happy and healthy now, and that’s what life needs to be about.
