Megan Stricklin gives her body the nutrition it needs!

If you would have told me that I could finally see definition in my stomach after having three kids I would have told you that you are crazy! Even though I work out 5-6 a week, I wasn't seeing this definition.

I had a couple of friends that had changed their lifestyle using Body Buddies and I was blown away by their results so i thought, 'what the heck? What have you got to lose?' When I signed up for the 8-week challenge I couldn't wait to see my changes, and I was already seeing results at the end of my first week! At the end of my second week I found out that I was pregnant. I was determined to do my best and to stick with the program not only for myself but for my new little miracle on its way, so I made sure I had my exchanges sheet on my phone so I had it where ever I went. I was doing pretty good considering I get terrible sick while pregnant. When I was just starting my fifth week I miscarried the baby. I was super upset but I knew that there was nothing I could have done to prevent this, especially since this is now the healthiest I have ever been in my whole life. I was giving my body the nutrition it needed my body was able to adjust back to normal very quickly and I was actually really surprised.

At the beginning of the 8 weeks we were told to stay off the scale so now that everything was back to normal I stepped on the scale and I was shocked to see that I had lost 8 lb... I was stoked! Now at the end of my 8 weeks have never had such definition in my abs and I have never been more proud Body Buddies I am determined to keep my body fueled with nutrition so that I can be happy and health and teach my kids the same. Thanks, Body Buddies! I could not have done it with out you!!

Kristy's Note:

I was fortunate enough to run into Megan at the gym while I was in my hometown this past weekend. We ended up talking for quite some time and I was privileged to hear even more of the story. Megan's journey goes back nearly 5-7 years to an accident she had while cliff jumping at a popular reservoir. Instead of being paralyzed or dying after jumping off a 40-foot cliff into nearly 1 foot of water, she survived. However, her stomach was never the same. After months and months of treatment and hospitals, her time on this earth nearly ended multiple times due to a ruptured stomach that could not keep anything down. Even a feeding tube did not function to provide her nutrients that she needed. Megan's mom was relieved just to see her breathing each day. Well, after miracles, Megan could finally eat again, but food and getting the nutrients she needs has been a constant focus. This is what makes finding the Power Foods Lifestyle even that much more of a benefit for Megan.
