CONFIDENT ON THE<br />
INSIDE AND OUT<br />
There are a few pivotal moments in every woman’s life<br />
where she wants to look her best. For Rachel Tant, it was<br />
when her sister asked her to be her maid of honor. Instead<br />
of eager anticipation, she instantly began to worry.<br />
Rachel struggled with her weight for nine years and was<br />
disgusted by the way she looked and felt. She couldn’t<br />
imagine standing in front of so many people, so she<br />
reached out to her friend from college who had success<br />
with AdvoCare products and signed up for the 24-Day<br />
Challenge ® in January 2015. Not only did she lose seven<br />
pounds after the 24 days, she also gained much-needed<br />
energy to keep up with her four young children.<br />
Her initial results motivated her to keep going, so after<br />
the Challenge she started using workout videos, making<br />
better choices in the kitchen and taking MNS ® E, Catalyst <br />
and ThermoPlus ® to continue the momentum. By April,<br />
the stay-at-home mom was down 30 pounds, which<br />
surpassed her initial weight-loss goal. “Before AdvoCare<br />
we didn’t pay attention to what we were eating. I’d pick<br />
up the kids from school every day and go to a fast food<br />
restaurant for a high-calorie snack,” says Rachel. “I used<br />
food as a reward and a stress reliever.”<br />
Rachel and her husband, Frank, focused on cooking with<br />
fresh ingredients and lean proteins and stayed active<br />
by walking, jogging and fitting in pushups and squats<br />
throughout the day. This new outlook helped Rachel feel<br />
better on the outside and inside by boosting her low<br />
self-confidence, which had begun to negatively affect<br />
every aspect of her life, including her marriage.<br />
By maintaining her new healthy lifestyle, Rachel was able<br />
to lose 40 pounds in eight months and is now training for<br />
her first 5k. The couple built a gym in their garage where<br />
Rachel fits in workouts between her kids’ naps during the<br />
week. She says her greatest motivator is to set a good<br />
example for her family and create healthy habits early on.<br />
“My success started with the physical<br />
characteristics, but it blossomed into<br />
so much more,” explains Rachel. “My<br />
kids see how good I feel, and my<br />
husband sees me buy fitted clothing<br />
and put more energy into how I look<br />
every day. It’s made me a completely<br />
different person.”<br />
