WES SIMS BEFORE ADVOCARE PRODUCTS

WES SIMS 125 POUND WEIGHT LOSS USING ADVOCARE PRODUCTS

Wes Sims, Pensacola Florida

Most of my adult life, I had been frustrated with my health and appearance. I was tipping the scales at a whopping 338 lbs. My joints were aching and I had very little energy. I have three young children and I was disappointed with myself for the example I was making for them. I found myself always being depressed and tired. The unhealthy lifestyle that I was living was indirectly causing strains on my marriage and family life. I wasn’t a very good father or husband most of the time.

I’m a high school teacher and football coach by profession. In late spring of 2008, I interviewed for a head coaching job and I felt like my appearance had a lot to do with me not getting the job. I was brought in front of a committee of parents and I believe unconsciously the way I looked gave them a negative first impression. To me, not looking the part hurt my chances of getting the job. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. At that point, I made the decision to turn over a new leaf in my life.

A great friend of mine and fellow coach had been involved with Advocare for a couple of years. I had seen the success that he had on the products, but until this point I was never very interested in even giving them a try. I finally called him up and told him that I was ready for some help. On July 8th I started out with the Herbal Cleanse and followed it with the MNS Max Energy, Thermoplus, and Catalyst.

After the first two weeks, I had lost=21 lbs and 3 inches off my stomach. I noticed an immediate increase in energy as soon as I started taking the MNS. One year later, I have lost a total of 128 lbs. I feel the best that I’ve felt in years, both physically and emotionally. My family and I are finally on the right track to a more healthy lifestyle and a better way of life.

This was the "spark" I needed to get in shape.

When my knee was damaged in 2003, I was unable to exercise like I had before. As a result, I gradually gained 65 pounds and watched my health go downhill because of the added weight. In December 2006, I was invited to a Christmas party. I had to buy a new pair of pants (a size 40!) just to have something suitable to wear. In January 2007, I was 239 pounds and had had enough. I stopped eating sugar and broke off my relationship with snack cakes.

When a friend introduced me to AdvoCare Spark®, I gained the desire and energy to start doing cardio at the gym.

By February I'd lost 16 pounds I began working out with weights for 15 minutes, five-to-six days a week. Still overweight and having not worked out in a few years, I needed some help, so I added AdvoCare Muscle Fuel™, Rehydrate, Catalyst™ and ThermoPlus™ to my regimen. I was able to increase my workout time considerably and now I work out between two and two-and-a-half hours, four to five days a week. I take Muscle Fuel, Arginine Extreme and Spark about 15-30 minutes prior to my workout to maintain needed stamina. During my workouts I drink Rehydrate and Spark mixed together, then after my workout I drink a vanilla Meal Replacement Shake mixed with Coffeccino® and Post-Workout Recovery.

I take MNS® Basic and Maximum Energy, which I alternate every other month. I also take Nighttime Recovery to help my muscles recover from the strenuous workout I put them through. Since starting AdvoCare products, I've lost 35 pounds and gained 9 pounds of lean muscle. I went from a 40-inch to a 33-inch waist in 10 months. Today, I'm healthier and I feel good. Every day I look for opportunities to share AdvoCare with someone.

Darrell and Nick Black

First of all I want to thank the Lord for the health and fitness He has allowed me to achieve. Next I want to thank Him for bringing AdvoCare into my life. I praise the Lord for what He is doing in my life and I'm excited about sharing it with you. I’ve been lifting since 9th grade in High School. I’ve been a personal strength and conditioning coach since 1990. I began competing in bodybuilding and powerlifting in 1980, earning eight titles up until 1990, Including the 1982 Mr. Pensacola, 1983 Mr. Gulf Coast, 1986 Florida State Powerlifting (Novice Class) Championships I engaged in some unhealthy risks in those years. After placing 3rd in the heavyweight class of the 1990 Mr. Florida, I gave up my unhealthy habits and began to make better choices. In February 2006, one of those choices included using AdvoCare world class nutritional products.

I had tried many different supplements in the past, since training naturally, hoping to find a product that would improve my performance. For the most part the results were unsatisfactory. I was introduced to AdvoCare at a mixer in February of 2006, just after I had turned 48. I was highly impressed with the pro athletes using AdvoCare products, knowing they could afford any product out there and they had chosen AdvoCare. I decided to place an Advisor order so my son Nick - who has dreams of playing college football - and I could have the best products available for maximum performance. We began taking AdvoCare CorePlex®, OmegaPlex®, ® Muscle Fuel, Muscle Strength, Post-Workout Recovery, Nighttime Recovery, Meal Replacement Shakes, and Meal Replacement Bars.

I met one of AdvoCare’s esteemed members of the Scientific and Medical Advisor Board, Dr. William Kraemer and he challenged me to switch to AdvoCare’s Muscle Gain protein. It is a very high quality, predigested protein. When it gets in your stomach, it is easily absorbed and transported out to the muscles. Your body actually uses what it consumes without stomach irritation or waste. He stated I would get better results with less protein grams than with the other brands I had used. Although very skeptical, I took the challenge and switched to Muscle Gain protein and dropped my protein intake from 50 grams down to 25 grams.

AdvoCare has helped us to achieve some awesome results!

Nick
Ø       At 14 years of age, 5'8", 205 pounds, in 3 weeks his strength increased from 220 to 250 pounds in the bench press.
Ø       At 16 on 5/12/08, 5’10.5”, 265 lbs he benched 345 lbs.
Ø       Shoulder injury in spring practice May 08. Only light lifting up until 8/22/08. Suspended all training to allow shoulder to heal.
Ø       Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome in both feet. Left foot surgery 9/19/08. Right foot surgery 10/31/08. No lifting from 8/22 – 11/30/08.
Ø       Begin training 12/1/08

Darrell
Ø       At 48 and 224 lbs. 6 weeks use of AdvoCare products. I went from a 280 lb x 12 rep bench to 300 X 11.
Ø       At 49 years of age I got 225 X 25 on the bench.
Ø       I turned 50 2/17/08 and on 3/10/08 at 5’8.5” 224 lbs I got 225 X 27 reps & again on 8/21/08 at 216 lbs 225 X 27
Ø       On 11/6/08 at 218 lbs I got 225 X 28 reps.
Ø       On 11/24/08 at 223 lbs I got 225 X 29 reps. Praise the Lord. Still going for more.

To put this in perspective; top performers in the bench press at the 2008 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, linebacker Stanford Keglar from Purdue at 6'2" 246 lbs got 225 x 29 and Johnathan Goff from Vanderbilt at 6'2" 238 lbs got 225 x 28. Those guys are half my age.

Today, my objective is to be a positive role model for Nick, the young men I train, and other folk who might think life ends as you get older. AdvoCare world class nutritional supplements give Nick and I cutting edge, high quality, safe nutritional products to accomplish ultimate performance.AdvoCare prides itself in the research that is put into these great products so you can have confidence in what you are putting into your body. Just check out the Scientific & Medical Advisory board. If you are pursuing health and wellness, weight management, vibrant energy, and/or sports performance, you will want to get these products in your body. I challenge you to get them and use them diligently for 90 days and you will get the results you are looking for.

Does it cost you something to achieve success? You bet it does. Being successful in anything is not convenient. It's the reward of accomplishment that makes it worth it.

Hardman team member, Jim Lyons, Frisco, Texas: "Everyday I take spark, muscle fuel, muscle strength for my daily workouts. At age 67, two time national champion 2005 and 2006 in USAPL powerlifting and stronger than at age 40. These products work everytime for me!"

ANNE MARIE & MADELINE HELD BIRMINGHAM, AL

Mother and Daughter, Anne Marie and Madeline Held (age 12): I am a very proud and blessed mother of three amazing daughters Madeline 12, Sydney 11, and Anna Laura 9. All are athletes in physically demanding and competitve sports- gymnastics, swimming, and running.

My daughter, Madeline is a year around competitive swimmer. She started cross country just a couple of months ago and has had tremendous success. After her first race she made a change from a few other well known fluid replacement drinks to drinking Advocare's Rehydrate throughout her entire day. She also began drinking a Spark an hour prior to competition. Soon after, her coach asked her to run in a high school 5k to see how she could handle the distance and competition against older runners. Madeline, as a 7th grader, won the entire event. She knows she is fueling her body so it will work more efficiently. She now carries a canister of Rehydrate and Spark in her swim and cross country bag!

I enjoy golf, tennis, running, and then my favorite activity, being a mommy!! I really am never tired, and owe it to perfect nutrition in Metabolic Nutrition System (MNS). I've also had incredible results on the golf course and at races, due to mental focus and stamina. It comes from taking products like Spark, Catalyst, Rehydrate, Thermoplus, and Post Workout Recovery.

Kris Burns, Daphne, Al

Pam Payne, Mobile, Alabama
In January 2007 I was miserable. I had reached 225 lbs, was a size 22/24 and just turned 49. I was always tired, had very little energy, didn’t like who I had become and didn’t want to be this person any longer. I had been a member at Curves for over a year, and decided it was time to get serious. After a brief illness and losing 10 lbs, I changed my eating habits and began working out 3-4 times a week. In the next 3 months I lost 28 lbs and 6 pant sizes, but my metabolism had slowed way down and I couldn’t maintain the energy for a 20 minute workout.

Then a co-worker and good friend, Jim Pinion shared AdvoCare with me, which he had been using for a couple months and had wonderful results. Jim told me how much energy it would give me plus provide me with proper nutrition I needed which I was lacking. I was ready to try anything that would help give me more energy, so I joined AdvoCare as a Distributor to give it a try then I became an Advisor shortly thereafter to get the 40% discount. I was amazed at how much energy I had after doing the Herbal Cleanse and using the spark. Jim was my biggest encourager and pushed me at times when I was ready to give up. By the time I had completed my 90 days “Commit to Fit” I had lost an additional 23 lbs and 6 more sizes. I now have better nutrition and can work out for longer periods of time.

Today I am a size 10 and I feel so much better about myself. I am healthier and more physically fit than I have been in over 10 years (and I have muscle mass). In 10 months I have lost 10.5” in my waist, 15 inches in my abdomen, 11 inches in my hips & 9 inches in my thighs. I’ve lost a total of 65 lbs and 59.5 inches.

I currently use MNS Energy vitamin packs, Thermoplus, Catalyst, Meal Replacement Shakes & Bars, I have incorporated the O2 Gold, Muscle Fuel & Arginine Extreme prior to my workouts and Post-Recovery & Muscle Gain after my workouts. I also use A-Supreme, Clear Mood, Fem 40+ and Amplify AT. I love AdvoCare and what it has done for me and my health, and I will use it for the rest of my life. I’m still losing and love the new ME!

Michelle Oden, Robertsdale, Al In December of 2007 I was 34 years old and about to have a hysterectomy. I had struggled with losing weight since 1998 when I had my first child and did not want to put on even more after surgery. So in January 2008 I began my Advocare journey. I started with a cleanse and then Spark, MNS Max Appetite, Catalyst, & Meal Replacements Shakes. After 8 weeks I had lost a total of 12 lbs. and 18 inches. I have dropped from a size 14 to a size 10. I now crave vegetables and healthy food instead of junk. I plan on reaching a size 8 very soon and actually looking good in a swimsuit this year! Losing weight is not so hard when you have the energy to do it!!

Daphne Cook, Daphne, Al At 37, with 2 small children , I was looking for ways to increase my energy and get leaner after having a baby . I started MNS Max Appetite and very quickly I noticed that I had great productive energy as well as a renewed excitement about life. My strong cravings for sweets also diminished and I lost over a pant size of body fat in 6 weeks. I had another baby at 40 and have experienced similar results using MNS Max Appetite, Catalyst, Shakes and Spark. For 20 yrs before Advocare (and before I had children), I worked out 1-2 hrs at least 5 days a week to maintain my desired fitness level. With the help of Advocare products, I have been able to achieve and maintain similar fitness results with much less exercise.

Jeanne Hobbs, Fairhope,Al 12/16/2007 I'm currently using Catalyst, Spark, Thermoplus, Meal Replacement Shakes, Rehydrate, OmegaPlex, Joint ProMotion and Zzz and feel the best I have in years. The reward to me is when other people tell how good I look or that I must be happy. I recently added Post-Workout Recovery and Arginine Extreme because I have started exercising for the first time in 4 years. Because the products work and have changed my life, I couldn't keep from sharing them, and recently earned an Advocare Pay Period Production Bonus of $1500.00 extra part time income during the month of December!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life is good so drink it up! Go Spark!

Stephanie Rhodes, Silverhill, Al, 12/14/2007 Since starting Catalyst, Spark, Thermoplus,Meal Replacement Shakes, Rehydrate,and CorePlex, I have dropped at least one pants size(so far). Have enough energy to homeschool my four kids, run 2 businesses from home and not need an afternoon nap (which was an everyday occurrence). I am able to go all day with an "alertness" I never had. I would literally read myself to sleep during our read aloud times.
