Most people wait until the new year to make weight loss resolutions. One local woman decided she couldn’t wait for the new year to make a change. Loretta Arscott, of Queenstown, started her health transformation in October and ended up with amazing results by the new year. She lost 27 pounds in just over two months.

Loretta answers questions on why and how she made the transformation.

What made you decide it was time to make a change in your health? There were a number of reasons. I was overweight, tired all the time, and feeling aches and pains in my back and legs. I thought to myself this can’t be what 45 is supposed to feel like. I also started thinking seriously about my family history. Both my mother and grandmother had diabetes. If I continued on the same path I was sure I would also be diagnosed. I thought about my daughter and felt I owe it to her to take care of myself. My daughter is still very young and I want to be around to take part in all the special milestones in her life. I also saw many people who struggle to get around and thought, “I have to do something before I get to that point.”

How did you choose the system you use to loose weight? I found the system as a result of looking for a natural energy drink. I was doing the traditional things to try to lose weight. I joined the gym, was working out and trying to eat right. I was still very tired and not seeing weight loss. I thought maybe my coffee addiction was part of the problem. I was drinking at least 32 ounces of coffee a day. I read labels on 15 plus products both at the store and online. I was getting frustrated because I couldn’t find an energy drink without artificial sweetener or types of sugar I did not want. Finally I came across Yoli’s Passion energy drink sweetened with stevia, which is not an artificial sweetener. I knew I had found what I was looking for. However, the only way to get Passion was to buy a new weight loss system from Yoli called the Better Body System. I read the labels on the other products in the system to be sure they were something I was comfortable using. This system was a new product release in October so I stumbled upon it at the perfect time. I ordered it right away.

What type of results did you see using the system? After using the system for seven days I lost nine pounds. A nine pound loss was truly motivating. I knew I could stick with the system because I was seeing great results. I continued using the system through the holidays. By the end of December I had lost 27 pounds. It is truly life changing and it happened so quickly. And, I was still able to eat at Thanksgiving and Christmas as well as other occasions. I’ve lost inches and I’m down 2-3 pant sizes.

Have you tried other weight loss programs? I’ve tried many diets. I have diet books, weight loss video’s, and I’ve tried online programs. I tried counting points but that’s just too much work for me. I knew I needed something simple to follow. I didn’t want complicated recipes, I didn’t want to have to prepare a lot of foods ahead of time, and I didn’t want prepackaged meals. With the Better Body System I can make something simple that I’m familiar with or I can try recipes. I don’t have to be afraid to eat out. I don’t have to shop for food I wouldn’t normally eat or foods I’ve never heard of. I don’t consider the Better Body System a diet but rather a lifestyle change that helps me understand how my body burns fat.

What’s your favorite part about using the system? There have been so many rewards. Obviously the weight loss is exciting. Sharing it with others and hearing their results is very rewarding. Not feeling hungry all the time is a definite advantage. Having more energy and less aches and pains is great. Just feeling more healthy all over is such a great feeling. And I can finally enjoy shopping for clothes, which is something I put off for years. I use to say, “I’m not going to buy anything until I lose weight.” I’ve also learned about sugars, carbohydrates, fat, and body acidity. It’s a simple system so I don’t find it hard to follow or incorporate into my lifestyle.

How can people find out more about the Better Body System? Our first local get together will be on January 22, 2012 at 2:00pm at the Elks Lodge in Stevensville, MD. This will be a casual get together for people already on the system and those who want information on how the system works and how to order the system. I’ve partnered with the company and I hope to get some fun and supportive weight loss teams started. It’s much more fun when you have group support.
