Vemma Gold Brand Partners Chris and Heidi Stout of Flagstaff, Arizona, started the Bod•ē Challenge in January and ended up on stage in Vegas at Convention! They were presented as Finalists in the Couple’s category and won a luxurious makeover retreat in Vegas and $1000 in cash. “As the mother of four young boys, I don’t get many glamorous moments,” shares Heidi. “The photo shoot, the hotel, the makeover… everything was amazing. They treated us like rock stars! It was the first time in eight years that we took a trip without kids (and it happened to be a week after our 10th anniversary), so it was very rejuvenating.”Jumping into the Challenge
“You can sit around and think about doing something about your weight or you can just do it,” the Stouts say. “The way we see it, we had nothing to lose and everything to gain.” Chris wanted to lose over 50 pounds and Heidi had about 20 pounds she wanted to lose. “We don’t like diets at all! But this program isn’t that restrictive. It doesn’t feel like you’re giving up that much.” They loved the Bod•ē products already and looked forward to drinking them every day and working on goals together. Chris says that the program was easier to do as a couple; “Heidi kept me in check,” he smiles.
Hitting goal weight
“There were days I couldn’t get out of the house to exercise,” says Heidi. “This isn’t Phoenix … Flagstaff gets pretty cold! So I’d do something at home. Sometimes the kids would start exercising with me, which was cute. Since I’ve gone on the program I’ve noticed that my energy level has increased dramatically.** After a while, I found myself getting up before the kids and working out first thing in the morning.” Heidi met her goal and lost 20 pounds by the end of the Challenge.** She’s now training to do a full marathon. Meanwhile, Chris steadily lost 37 pounds on the Challenge and is still going on the program.** He’s lost an impressive 49 pounds to date and is within a few pounds (and just a few weeks) of his final goal.**
Walking taller with Bod•ē
“Chris’ change has been the most dramatic,” says Heidi. “But whether we have 5 pounds or 100 to lose, we all have the same emotions as far as how we feel about ourselves. When you lose weight, it’s not just the weight that changes but the way you feel about yourself, the way you carry yourself. You walk taller; you’re healthier emotionally.** It’s exciting to meet our weight loss goals and have something to offer to others.”**
Jump starting the business with Bod•ē
The Stout’s weight loss journey inspired them to focus more effort on their Vemma business. “Before the Challenge, it was just Chris doing the business, but this has brought us together and now we’re both in it,” says Heidi. “We do meetings together, travel more, and we love helping others take control of their health and their finances.”
Heidi & Chris Tips for Success
• Plan ahead. Heidi plans menus out a month in advance.
• Let the kids eat healthy with you! It’s too complicated to make separate meals. We discovered the kids like asparagus (who’d have guessed?).
• Listen to the tips of the day. They’re really motivational and address any concerns.
• Drink lots of water.
• Don’t give up, even if you have days you didn’t follow it exactly or you aren’t losing weight. Keep going, and it’ll work!
**Results not typical, you may not do as well. Two pilot studies conducted by Vemma showed that 55 participants who followed the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan for 12 weeks using Vemma Bod•ē Burn, Bod•ē Rest and Bod•ē Cleanse, lost an average of 14.8 pounds. Not all participants will complete the plan, or accurately follow the directions and guidelines of the plan. Vemma Nutrition Company recommends you follow a healthy approach to weight loss by consulting with your physician or healthcare provider before starting any new exercise, diet plan, nutrition or supplementation program, particularly if you suffer from any medical condition or regularly use prescription or over-the-counter medications. The Vemma Bod•ē products as part of the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and 10 minutes of daily exercise. Learn more at: http://VemmaToday.com
