Isagenix® a Fountain of Youth For Utah Grandmother

Geri knew she was way too young to feel so old. Although she always ate healthy and exercised, she had a persistent weight problem that only got worse with age. With each pound gained, she gradually decreased her activity level because it simply became too hard to move. Her health spiraled further downward after a demoralizing comment from an aerobics instructor left her self-esteem devastated.

At 261 pounds, Geri was so out of shape she couldn’t even walk her grandkids down the block to school. She was desperate to get her quality of life back when Isagenix® came along.

“I was scared to death I would do old age in a wheelchair,” explains Geri of Utah. “I tried so many things for years, healthy and unhealthy, but it was like pulling teeth to lose a pound.”

Geri was amazed to see how positively her body responded to Isagenix. The stubborn pounds that she hadn’t been able to shed in almost three decades were melting off. Soon, she was down 18 pounds and feeling like she was in her 20s again. With just 15 weeks left, Geri decided to enter the 2010 IsaBody Challenge® to further motivate herself, but more importantly, to have an outlet to share her story and inspire others.

“I started late and had already lost 58 pounds, but I thought it didn’t matter,” says Geri. “It was healthy and it worked, and I could still make progress. I was still a winner.”

With nine weeks left, Geri increased her workouts and started lifting weights. She diligently monitored her portions to stay on track with calories and increased her water intake. Her first goal was to get below 200 pounds—a plateau she had been stuck on for a while. By the end of the Challenge the 3rd-place winner in the Women 50+ Category weighed in at 189 pounds.

“I had not been under 200 pounds since I was 23,” says Geri. “I found the person I used to be and it feels great to walk into a store and not feel like a spectacle that people look at.”

Isagenix has been a fountain of youth for the dedicated grandmother. She recently went on a camping trip with her grandkids and was able to hike and play with the little ones with no problem.

“I have the energy for my grandkids that I was scared I wouldn’t have,” says Geri. “I went from feeling old, tired and uncomfortable to feeling like I have an amazing future, because now I have a body that can take me there.”

Currently a Star Consultant, the 51-year-old is having a blast sharing her story and helping others find the same happiness and success.

“I just know my future is bright physically and financially because of Isagenix,” says Geri. “I am full of hope and it’s a wonderful way to go into the future.”
