Nikki’s Success Story – “I finally feel like I am healthy – inside and out!”
“As of 01 Jan 2012 my goal is to work towards a body I am proud of. I have always struggled with my weight and my body image and to be at a weight where I am happy and proud is my ultimate goal. I hope to lose approximately 10 lbs to be at a weight of 130lbs by 01 Jan 2012. My goal weight is personally more of the “look” that I want where I can see the muscles I work hard at achieving and the ability to look like a healthy and balanced woman.” … Those were my exact words on my BBEC entry form (at the beginning of the Bikini Body Program). Reading them again has truly proven to me that I have definitely accomplished my goal. I woke up today ready to complete my check in and couldn’t wait to do so!! I finally have become someone who wakes up everyday feeling healthy, balanced, energized, and determined to be the best person I can be. I am finally at a point where I am excited to get dressed in the morning and to be able to fit into my clothes the way I always wanted to and don’t feel self consious about my body. For the first time in my entire life I actually ENJOYED being in front of the camera today!!! I seriously could have taken pictures for 2 hours because I felt so confident in my own skin and have never had that feeling before. I am still about 3 pounds away from 130lbs, but for once, the number on the scale doesn’t mean that much to me anymore. I can see healthy curves on my body, I can see muscles in my upper body that I work out in the gym, and I can see a waist line and abs peaking through!! To me, the number on the scale doesn’t make me sad that I didnt achieve my “exact weight”, but instead I feel like I have fully accomplished my goal of getting to a weight where I am happy and love the way my body looks!!! My self confidence and the smile that I wear everyday definitely outweighs any number I see on a scale. I have finally broken away from the idea that a number defines me!! No longer will I set a “goal weight” for myself because it is my physical appearance and my happiness that determine my true goal. I have accomplished my ultimate goal that I finally love me for me!! I finally can say I love my body!!
My body, mind, soul, personality, self confidence, energy… every little thing about me as changed for the better during BBEC. Eating right and excercizing has truly made me a person who doesn’t wake up tired in the morning and goes to bed exhausted at night. The right foods and the right exercise has made me a happier and more energized person. I finally feel like I am healthy – inside and out. I feel like I am doing something that not only has an effect on me now, but will continue to help me better myself for my future. I have finally gotten to a point where I don’t mentally beat myself up about not eating right. DAMY has shown me a new way to look at myself and love myself for who I am and what I work for. I finally live each day to the fullest and have learned to enjoy eating and exercising. I have mentally broken through the barrier that I used to have which would make me feel guilty and bad about myself after eating something not healthy. I have finally made it to a place where I can enjoy foods in moderation and wake up the next day, eat clean, and get right back on plan without any guilt!!! Instead of getting mad about my choices, I’ve learned how to “mindfully indulge” in foods I like without losing control! I have finally figured out how to enjoy life without mentally beating myself up about little things and knowing that planning ahead is key to my success!
I feel – lean, fit, healthy, strong, accomplished, and most of all- I feel EMPOWERED!!!! I feel like I have achieved something that I always couldn’t commit myself to doing. I feel ready and motivated to start the new year off on the right foot! I feel determined and motivated to finally accomplish an even greater goal that I have always wanted to accomplish but havent signed myself up for which is competing in a fitnes competition. I feel proud of myself and finally feel truly happy. I feel like a new person with a new outlook on myself and on my life. I have finally found “that place” where I love myself.
I feel like 2012 has great things in store for me!! I have always wanted to compete in a fitness competition, but have never had the confidence in myself to actually do so. Not only did I not believe that I could do it, I never loved myself enough to be proud to walk onto a stage in a tiny bikini. Never in my life would I have imaged I would be sitting here and know that I’ve reached that point where I feel so great about what I’ve accomplished so far that I want to sign myself up for something even bigger that has always scared me. But I am finally ready!!!! I have a new found love for myself and my body that I want to take myself to the next level and achieve the one goal that I’ve always thought aout doing but never had the confidence to do. My next goal is to prepare and train to compete in a fitness competition in April of 2012!!! Less than 4 months away!!!!
There is a LOT that sets DAMY apart. I’ve always stayed away from expensive programs because I could never justify spending the money on something I thought I could do myself – with DAMY this was never an issue. DAMY is THE MOST cost effective system out there that ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Not only do you get nutrition and workouts, but having access to Amy 24/7 and being able to ask any questions or advice you need and know you will get a thorough and personal answer back is priceless. It is obvious that Amy spends a LOT of time answering each of the weekly check ins and assessing where you are at and what you need to do to get to the next level. I never once felt confused or stranded on DAMY, I always knew that if i was confused or had questions I had someone there to ask. Amy is also extremely supportive. Amy’s motivational emails and insight are something that continuously kept me going – she is simply amazing :).
Being a part of DAMY has become part of my life. I am able to cook the recipes for my family and friends and everyone LOVES them!! Whenever someone asks me for a recipe I tell them to check out DAMY, everyone I know actually knows what the DAMY program is because I cant stop talking about it! DAMY is not a diet nor is it a short term fix. DAMY is a lifestyle – plain and simple. DAMY is something that has changed my life, the way I cook, the way I eat, and the way I think about myself. DAMY is a program that teaches you how to live a balanced life inside and out – it is much more than just a meal plan, as I said before – it is a lifestyle.
I have experienced TONS of benefits from DAMY. I have lost weight, I have lost inches, I have lost fat. Not only have I lost things, but I’ve also gained self-confidence, self-worth, and self-love. In addition to the mental benefits that come with being on DAMY I have also learned how to be aware of my body, aware of the foods I eat, and I now understand why I WANT to eat clean and cook healthy meals. I have gained an understanding of the foods that my body does well with and I’ve even learned which foods my body doesn’t like so much. (bye bye artificial sweeteners!!) DAMY has had both physical and mental benefits on me, and also on those who are close to me. My healthy habits have rubbed off on my fiance too who now enjoys eating healthy and exercising with me. I have convinced my mom to start eating clean, and my friends love my recipes! Being able to influence those who mean most to me to be more healthy has been one of the best benefits from DAMY!!
Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!! I couldnt be happier with my results from the BBEC. I have truly transformed my attitude and my body in a way that I never thought possible. I woke up today absolutely PSYCHED to wear the dress I bought for New Years Eve and not nervous to stand in front of the camera in a bikini!! The smile I woke up with and the confidence I felt all day is something that I’ve never felt before. I have never been so excited to get dressed up and show off the body I work hard at obtaining. I have completely transformed my mind and body over the last 3 months! I couldn’t have done it without DAMY and especially without the support and motivation from Amy. DAMY is an amazing program that actually works, and I plan to recommend it to all of my friends and family for those who are looking to have a healthier lifestyle and transform their body and their attitude on life!! Thank you DAMY!!!!
