If there was ever a moment that would motivate Teresa to take control of her health, it was at this time in her life. As a retired grandmother of two, with a desire to live the life she had worked hard to prepare for, Teresa envisioned traveling the world with her loved ones with confidence. Despite maintaining a regular exercise routine, eating ‘healthy enough’, and staying busy, she found herself carrying more weight than ever before, especially in the form of stubborn belly fat that made her feel frumpy, disheartened, and self-conscious.

Haunted by snug leggings and tight, rolling waistbands, Teresa had always prioritized pressing matters over her well-being, but this time would be different. Nothing mattered more to her than her health, recognizing that if she didn’t take action, it would inevitably impact every facet of her life.

When Teresa discovered MasalaBody, she saw a program that resonated with her current situation, seamlessly fit into her lifestyle, and catered to her preferences and requirements.

“I AM GIVING MYSELF PERMISSION TO SPEND THE MONEY, INVEST THE TIME, AND RETHINK THE WAY I EAT. IT’S TIME TO PUT MYSELF FIRST.”

Teresa started my 8-week Slim Down Personal Weight Loss Coaching Program at 120 pounds. For most, this would seem like a dream, but for Teresa’s 4’10” petite frame, it posed health risks. Despite believing she had her health in check, as the numbers on the scale crept up, she started doubting everything she’d told herself and wondered if those thoughts were just excuses.

To get the answers she was looking for, Teresa needed experienced guidance from an online weight loss coach. Though she wanted a program that worked with the lifestyle she’d grown accustomed to, what she didn’t know was that by taking this step, her life would be transformed.

Right from the start, Teresa recognized the unique qualities of MasalaBody's weight loss program, which positioned her for success from day one.

Abundant resources

Flexibility
Due to Teresa’s busy schedule, MasalaBody made it easy for her to participate on her own time. If she missed a live session, she could go back and watch it recorded making it possible to sign on whenever and refresh if needed.

“THIS PROGRAM IS SO EASY TO FOLLOW. THERE WERE NO STRICT GUIDELINES."

Teresa’s first test would come halfway through her 8-week commitment when she took an impromptu vacation through Europe. Equipped with her fat-burning framework, a pair of jeans that she hadn’t worn in months, and her cell phone for her weekly check-ins, her endurance would be tested.
It didn’t take her long to see the flexibility of the framework and how easily she could apply it even when tempted by Europe’s meats, cheeses, bread, and wines. By applying the strategies, tips, and tricks, she found herself energized, satisfied, and unshaken.

“IN THIS PROGRAM, AS SO LONG AS YOU STAY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK, YOU ARE ENTIRELY FREE TO EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT.”

When Teresa joined MasalaBody, she had a revelation that her health was the foundation of everything she aspired to achieve in her life. Disheartened by her reflection in the mirror, she recognized her worth and knew she deserved better Discovering that the program could adapt to her needs rather than the other way around, Teresa found a newfound sense of ease in her weight loss journey, making the process of shedding and managing weight seem effortlessly achievable.

“THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO FOREVER. IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE A BURDEN AND I’M NOT DEPRIVING MYSELF OF ANYTHING.”

During her last days abroad, Teresa grabbed the once-dreaded jeans that used to demand a constant effort to button up. Surprisingly, after all the traveling and eating, the jeans not only fit comfortably but slid down her hips! The visual was a powerful reminder that when your health isn't limiting you and you follow a simple framework to guide you effortlessly on your journey, success is inevitable.

“YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE 100% PERFECT EVERY DAY, BUT GIVE YOURSELF THE GRACE TO SAY I STRUGGLED TODAY, AND THERE’S ALWAYS TOMORROW.”

Not sure where to start? Taking back the life you want is as easy as 1-2-3.
