So I joined this Weight Loss Challenge about a week ago. My friend Chelsea Standring told me about it! It's great! I needed something to give me a little extra push to keep going with my weight loss journey so I can get to my ultimate goal.
It's through the Meltdown Challenge. Here is the website: https://www.meltdownchallenge.com/, and it's been really fun so far! The challenge lasts 6 weeks. I actually joined a few days late, which is ok, I will just need to make sure I work really hard! And during those 6 weeks you can choose to either LOSE 6% of your body weight, or MAINTAIN within 1% of your body weight. So you can only lose or gain within 1% of your weight during that time.
So whatever your current weight goals are, they have an option for you! It cost $20 to join the challenge. And then at the end of the period, whoever met their goal, then you get a portion of the pot. Right now the pot is at $84K! There are over 4,000 people during the challenge right now. You get daily readings where you can learn different things about weight loss, nutrition, exercising, etc. And you can also get points each day with reading those emails, watching videos they post, doing a food and exercise log, and motivating the other people on your team!
The challenge ends the end of October, and I have until then to lose 10 pounds! It seems like a lot since I have been averaging about 1 pound a week, so I have been trying to workout more and be really strict on my calories. This week I lost a little over 2 pounds, so that was good! Hopefully I can keep it going like that! I will let you know what my results are at the end !
One thing they have told us to do is drink LOTS of water! I usually try to drink 8 cups of water, but they say to try to drink 100 ounces! It is hard some days, but that can really help if you do it! So that will be my goal this week!
I think there is going to be another challenge in January, so let me know if you want to get in on that one!

Tips for Wrapping Success
Okay, so you got a wrap, but not quite sure how to use it? Well here are my tips for having success with your wrap! Here is what is going to help you get your best results possible!
TIPS FOR WRAPPING SUCCESS
*Optimum conditions for wrapping: Take a hot shower right before applying the wrap (helps to open pores). Please do NOT use soap or lotions/mineral oil products as these can block pores and keep formula from properly absorbing. If you choose not to take a shower, clean with a hot wash cloth and dry area to be applied thoroughly.
*Take before pictures, side and front. You are not taking these to show anyone else. You are doing this strictly for your viewing so you can see and confirm your results when you compare your before, after and after pictures.
*Open package containing applicator and unfold, apply applicator with lotion side to skin ensuring good contact with the skin.
*To secure applicator in place, use saran wrap (cut your saran wrap roll in half if wrapping yourself, much easier to work with a smaller roll). We also have Fab Wrap which you can find on my website. Some will use a tight tank top, whatever works for you and whatever you are most comfortable with.
*Wear applicator minimum of 45 minutes, up to 8 hours. 90% of the ingredients are in your skin in the first 45 minutes.
*While wearing your applicator, drink 2 bottles of WATER. It is very important to drink at least 8-10 glasses of WATER a day for the following 3 days. The more you drink the more you shrink! (½ your body weight in h2o is a great goal) I’ve found many people are already dehydrated prior to use!
*Limit fatty foods, caffeine, and artificial sweetener during this time also. Avoid alcohol for 72 hrs.
Eating is not recommended while wrapped. Do not exercise or sweat while wrapped.
*Remove Body Applicator; rub in remaining lotion thoroughly too applied area. ***Don’t waste a drop of this lotion; don’t throw away the wrap if product remains! Place it somewhere else, even cutting it and moving it to target more skin. Do not shower immediately after removing the wrap, give it a few hours to make sure properly absorbed.
*Take before and after photos so you can compare! Do so every time you wrap! You will be glad you did! Try and take after photos in the same pose as your before, much easier to compare! Continue to take photos at 24, 48 and 72 hours after taking wrap off! Pictures are crucial in seeing your results! Download an app so you can put your pictures side by side to compare. If you are comfortable sharing them with me, I would love to see them!
*Your Ultimate Body Applicators work EVERY time! Toning, tightening & firming the skin while detoxifying. They come in a package of 4 for a reason, and are meant to be repeated for an Ultimate Body Contouring experience! For best results apply Defining Gel between uses.
*Use one applicator every 72 hours or once weekly (which is what most of my Loyal Customers prefer to do so that their treatment lasts a full month until their next package arrives) until desired results.
Applicator Benefits:
Firms, tones and smoothes in cellulite-prone areas
Gently smoothes and firms skin
Minimizes a “spongy” appearance
Restores youthful-looking body contours
Leaves skin supple, soft and satin-smooth
What to expect the first time you use the Ultimate Body Applicator:
You’ll see measurable results!
The Ultimate Body Applicator is successful for the majority of users the very first time it is used
The Applicator should not be compared to or confused with diuretic products that temporarily cause water weight reduction.
The applicator converts “fat cells” to energy
What if nothing happens:
Although most begin to see improvements and inch loss after the first application, some may take up to 3-4 applications to achieve optimal results. Those who are on medication and/or who have toxic systems (ie are not regular) may fit in this category. Inch loss is not the only benefit from the Applicator. It also defines, tightens, tones and firms the skin and visibly enhances the body’s contours. It also diminishes the appearance of cellulite and skin slackening. It improves the elasticity, moisturizes and vitalizes the skin, leaving it smooth and flexible, with a youthful and fresh appearance.
What if I gain inches:
Don’t be alarmed…this is actually a good thing! The Applicator will cause toxins in the body to get stirred up, which will initially cause the body to bloat and produce an apparent gain in inches. Drinking a large amount of water within the next couple days following the use of the Applicator will allow the body to flush the toxins as usually those who bloat will see the biggest improvement at the end of 72 hours.
With the Ultimate Body Applicator, results are progressive. With each treatment you will be more pleased with your results. Your skin will look and feel smoother, younger, more toned and tightened. The more consistent and diligent you are in applying the Ultimate Applicators, the better the results!
Additional products are available to help the body by increasing metabolic activity, suppressing appetites, reducing fat and carbohydrate intake, looking younger and detoxification. Please view my website for more information https://juliewrapsitup.myitworks.com
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via Facebook, email, text or a phone call…
Happy Wrapping!!!

3 Years!
Yesterday the hubby and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary! I can't believe it's already been 3 years! It's definitely been a rollercoaster. We have had some pretty low LOWS, but also many HIGHS! We have gone on many trips together including Canada, Utah, Vegas, California, and our awesome CRUISE on our 1 year anniversary.
We have moved a few times, lived with Chris's parents for our first year, then our cute little apartment, and now living in Eileen's house while she is on a mission. We hope to have a place we can call our own next year!
And, we have also had our beautiful baby girl Lyla. They say that if you can get through the first year of marriage than you should be good, and while I agree with that, I think getting through the first year your first baby's life is a bigger hurdle! :) But we made it and are a stronger couple because of it!
Chris is a wonderful husband and father. He is a hard worker, has a huge heart, and loves me and my baby girl very much. Here's to many more years together!

Greens
ItWorks sells this awesome product called GREENS! Adding 2 scoops of the powder to 8oz of water every morning has helped my body become more healthy! This stuff is like MAGIC! Drinking it every day will do all this:
*Gives you 8 servings of fruits and vegetables. I don't know about you, but as much as I love fruits and vegetables, it can be very difficult getting 8 servings EVERYDAY.
*Detoxes your system.
*Alkalizes your pH. I didn't know this till recently, but did you know if your body's pH isn't balanced, then it can cause sickness, cancer, and fatigue? I had no idea! Drinking Greens can balance that acidity and keep you healthier much longer!
*Give you Energy! And it's not like the energy you get from energy drinks or caffeine. It's a natural energy! All of the minerals, vitamins, and enzymes that are in the drink invigorates the body, making you feel very energized! That's why its good to avoid drinking it 3-4 hours before bedtime so you are better able to settle down and sleep.
There are also these amazing Chews that provide the antioxidant strength of 20 cartons of blueberries in each serving! They promote heart health, support your digestive system, as well as boosts your body's free radical fighting defenses!
Both of these are amazing illness fighters! You can order it here

Eating Clean
Have you been wanting to start eating clean but not know where to start? It can be overwhelming to know what foods to cut out, which ones to keep, etc. But I am going to share with you a simple eating plan that breaks down WHAT you should eat and WHEN you should eat it! Easy peasy!
But first, let's go over WHY you would want to eat clean. Eating clean is one of the KEY components to a healthy lifestyle. And that's the most obvious benefit. You will be healthier! You will lose weight! You will have more energy which will help you be more productive during the day.
One of the last benefits of eating clean is your mental health. Not having enough Omega-3 can cause moodiness and depression. So having healthy diet and not skipping meals can eliminate anxiety and reduce headaches and stomachaches. That sounds pretty enticing to me!
So here is an example of a clean eating menu for the week. I actually borrowed it from Fit Mommy blog. But try it out and see how much better you feel!
Also, Prevention put out a pretty neat article on 23 simple ways to eat clean. It helps you be able to make clean choices, and gives a top 3 choices in that category which is really cool, so if you don't have the #1 choice at home, you can try for #2 or #3 and still be eating clean. Check it out here!

Eating enough fruits and vegetables will also contribute to better cardiovascular health, which means your risk for cardiovascular disease is lowered and a lower cholesterol! When you eat a lot of processed foods that puts you more at risk for CANCER. But if you choose to replace those processed foods with clean foods, then they help fight cancer growth. They say broccoli and tomatoes are especially beneficial in that area!

My WHY
During my pregnancy with Lyla, I gained probably about 40 pounds. I had definitely not planned to gain that much, LOL. I would like to say that it was all baby weight, but Lyla only weighed 6 pounds 12 oz when she was born. ;) I had good intentions before I got pregnant to eat right all throughout my pregnancy, and workout as much as possible, but that definitely did NOT happen. I was super sick through almost the whole thing, tired, working out was difficult, and salads and vegetables made me sick just thinking about them! And also, I blew up like a balloon! I was so swollen all over, my feet, ankles, face, hands, EVERYWHERE!
After Lyla made her appearance, I knew I probably wouldn't go right back down to my pre-pregnancy weight very quickly. I was down about 30 pounds with 10 to go about a month afterwards, but then I gained 12 pounds back!!! Ahh!!! I couldn't believe it. Nursing did not help me lose weight like I had heard everyone say it would. I was also nervous about dieting cause I didn't want to lose my milk. This is me right after having Lyla.
So, the beginning of this year, I decided I needed to do something about it, change my lifestyle, change my body. I started working out regularly again. Its nice that my gym has a nursery that I can put Lyla in while I workout. I got back on myfitnesspal to keep track of my calories. I started feeling better about myself. I did TaiSlim for a few months which helped me lose my first 10 pounds. I did a couple programs from Dr. Oz which helped me lose a few more. My trick was being able to keep it off the same time I was losing it. Sure, I could lose weight super fast by not eating very much, but that's not the healthy way! When I hit a plateau I try to change something, whether it's lowering my calorie intake, increasing my weights, or lengthen my workout time.
I joined ItWorks the beginning of June of this year. I had heard of the company long before. I had known people who were a part of it, and had seen awesome results from their products. I wanted to try a wrap, but just hadn't done it yet. By then I had already lost and kept off 15 pounds so far, which was great! But I still had a ways to go. My friend Cherice Pickett invited me to come try a wrap with her. She had a family member in town from Phoenix who sold them, so I said yes! I went with her, put the wrap on, waited 45 minutes while drinking lots of water, and saw my results. They were awesome! I had lost almost 4 inches around my stomach, smoothed out my skin texture, and lightened up my stretchmarks!
I was sold. I went home and signed up as a distributor. Michelle has been an awesome trainer and has helped me a ton to build my business.
Since then, I have done about 6 wraps, lost inches, tightened and toned my stomach more, I drink the Greens everyday, use the defining gel in between wraps, and have lost another 10 pounds! It has changed my life and I am so glad I signed up with the company. I love helping other people change their life as well, and I get to make money on the side while I am at home with Lyla!
So that is my WHY. Why I joined ItWorks. I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to get healthier, happier. I wanted to be able to be home more with Lyla, and help others change their life for the better as well! www.megskinnywraps.com

Since then, I have done about 6 wraps, lost inches, tightened and toned my stomach more, I drink the Greens everyday, use the defining gel in between wraps, and have lost another 10 pounds! It has changed my life and I am so glad I signed up with the company. I love helping other people change their life as well, and I get to make money on the side while I am at home with Lyla!
So that is my WHY. Why I joined ItWorks. I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to get healthier, happier. I wanted to be able to be home more with Lyla, and help others change their life for the better as well! www.megskinnywraps.com
