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 />
