Let me introduce you to this incredible power couple Scott & Brook Manchester. Not only are they half the people they used to be (in a good way) they are my niece and her husband and I am so very proud of their weight loss journey that I just had to share their story with you.

Some of the delicious foods on the Optimal Health Weight Loss Plan

Scott's Weight Loss Journey:

For Scott his weight loss journey started back in college. Here’s what he has to say about it! 

In college I weighed somewhere around 200lb. After college life caught up to me with my new job, getting married and having my two beautiful daughters, what seemed like overnight, I tipped the scales at 290 lbs. My feet and knees hurt constantly and I had no energy to do things with my family.

A buddy of mine once said to me "If you don't have your health, you've got nothing." This statement was so empowering to me that I knew I had to do something to get healthy.

My problem was starting without stopping. I had every excuse in the book. I would tell myself;

I'll start on Monday
I'll start after my trip
I'll start after the party
I'll start after Xmas
I'll start after the summer
I'll start after football season...

I would start a program at the gym, then stop in a week or two. When you're out of shape the gym is a scary place. It's hard work and life gets in the way.  Not to mention I wasn't fueling my body with the right nutrition and I could barely make it through a workout.

The reality is, you can never outrun the spoon or change a bad diet without a plan. I know this now. Getting back to your optimal weight is about 80% nutrition and 100% mind set! 

Another roadblock for me was meal preparation.  There was zero chance that I would have time to prep and weigh my food, package it up and take it to the office everyday!  I needed something convenient. I needed something that would be sustainable. I needed something doable. 

In August 2018 I found the Optimal Health Weight Loss Plan or maybe it found me? I was still just as busy, if not busier.  In my first week I lost 13 lbs and this gave me inspiration to keep going.  Could it be that I had finally found a program that really works and is so easy to follow?  I was still skeptical but I continued eating my 5 nutritional meals a day and one healthy dinner and ultimately I lost over 75 lbs in 8 months!  The best news is I never stepped foot in a gym! I now have literally ZERO pain in my feet or knees and I sleep great.The Optimal Health Weight Loss Plan has given me a new lease on life.

With the education I have received I am extremely proud to announce that I am now a Certified Health Coach.  It feels so great to help my friends and family become healthy and live their best life possible. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about this healthy lifestyle please reach out to me on Facebook at Scott Manchester. I look forward to helping you live your best life.

Brook's Weight Loss Journey:

Wow, what a difference 11 months and 51 lbs can make!  I am a busy wife and mom and I work full time.  It's easy to see how the pounds began to pile on over the years.  I am very active and love running but without changing my diet my weight stayed the same.

My husband and I found the Optimal Health Weight Loss Plan and decided to make a serious change for our health.  The picture on the left is 10 years of bad food choices and lots of stress. When I decided it was time for a change I wanted to lose 10-15 pounds. I began the Optimal Health Weight Loss Plan and I was so happy to see the weight begin to come off. I lost that 15 pounds and continued on the program and have now lost 51 pounds!  My blood pressure is in the normal range and I have so much energy, it's amazing!  

Sometimes weight loss is not just about how you look....but also how you feel and I feel amazing.  I have gone from a size 12 to a size 6.  My clothes fit better, I have more energy and I love my life.  Here I am wearing a size Small Leggings from MomMe And More and it feels great.  

I am also extremely proud to become a Certified Health Coach and if any of you ladies have questions or want more information it would be my pleasure to help you on your weight loss journey.  Send me a message on Facebook anytime⏩ Brook Manchester   The Optimal Health Weight Loss Plan has truly given us our LIFE back!

#3. Opt for a Long Maxi Dress!  Wearing a long Maxi dress gives the illusion of height. Furthermore, when a dress ends at the slimmest part of your leg it gives the illusion that your entire leg is also this size.  A Maxi dress with a higher waist band also conceals your tummy. Just like this floral Maxi Dress from MomMe And More.

#4. Pick A Long Cardigan or Kimono. A long cardigan or kimono gives a polished look and creates a long slimming affect.  Choose a solid colored Cardigan or asymmetric hem to instantly look thinner.  MomMe And More has many Cardigans and Dusters to chose from in many sizes.

#5 Monochromatic!  Dressing in one color from head to toe is very slimming.  This trick works with any color but is especially true with solid black. This solid black dress and solid black leggings outfit is less than $50.  Now that's a great trick and a great price.
