How would you feel if you lost over 30 lbs and went from a size 10 to a size 2/4 in 12 short weeks? In the final days of her 12 Week Reveal, one client shares her story.
"12 weeks ago...I weighed more than I did the day I gave birth to my kids 13 years ago
12 weeks ago…I wanted to die when I ran into my ex husband and his skinnier-than-me new wife
12 weeks ago...I couldn't run around my block (in my SMALL) neighborhood
12 weeks ago...I loathed running and decided I would never be a runner. And was ok with that.
12 weeks ago...I could eat a whole cheese pizza by myself in one sitting. And did.
12 weeks ago...I wore spanx under everything. Everything.
12 weeks ago....I wouldn't wear a dress that lay even an inch above the knee. And shorts? Only when there was no way around it. I dreaded beach trips and pool parties and mastered the strategically-placed towel and long dress coverups...
12 weeks ago...I was so happy it was winter so I could cover my flabby arms with long sleeves
12 weeks ago…I hated every inch of my body with the most hatred focused on legs.
12 weeks ago...I sat across from Coach Mariah in Whole Foods and listened to her tell me I would wear a size 4 dress and that I could totally change the way my legs looked.
12 weeks ago...if I'm really honest, I didn't believe her about the leg thing.
12 weeks ago...I wasn't above diet pills, plastic surgery, gimmick diets and alternating between the extremes of bulimia and starving to achieve short term goals.
12 weeks ago...I cried...a lot.

12 weeks later...I weigh the same I did in high school track season.
12 weeks later...I could really care less if I run into my ex hubs and his wife, and I could really care less what size she is. Either way I'm fairly certain-- there's no way possible her abs looks better than mine.
12 weeks later...I run 3-5 miles daily, and I run 10 miles once a week. (And I'm actually running...not just dragging my feet and swinging my arms and looking like I'm going to killover at any minute while moms with the three-kid strollers, and little old ladies smoke me I'm averaging a 9 minute mile on my shorter runs and 10/11 min mile on my longer runs).
12 weeks later....I love running, and every day that I don't run at least 5 miles, I feel I've cheated myself of something, I'll run my first half marathon in 2 weeks.
12 weeks later...I'm most excited about eating carrots, hummus, and strawberries again. Pizza is officially off the cravings list; I just don't want it.
12 weeks later...F#&K spanx!
12 weeks later...I just bought a dress that forced me to ask several friends, "it's not toooooo short, is it?" And beach season? Bring it.
12 weeks later...I mean...I know it is 20 degrees and snowing and all outside, but I just have to wear this shoulder-baring dress tonight.
12 weeks later...I bought the most amazing boots to wear with my short dress (Ship Burning (TM) outfit) tonight. I'm not wearing the boots because I feel they cover up too much leg.
12 weeks later....I wear a size 4 and have totally changed the way my legs look.my body, especially my legs, look totally different.
12 weeks later...Coach Mariah could tell me that it is possible to make gold out of cardboard, and I might believe her.
12 weeks later...I know what happens when you commit, trust and work hard.
12 weeks later...I still cry a lot. I cried 9 weeks ago when I realized I could run further than a mile. I cried 2 weeks ago when the snooty sales clerk at Nordstrom's tugged on my six 6 dress and said, "no honey, this is too big. We'll have to order you a size 4." I cried when I realized my "skinny jeans" had suddenly become my "fat jeans." I cry every time people make a big deal about how much weight I've lost. And no doubt, I will cry tonight, when I celebrate my birthday and transformation in my size 4, leg-baring, no spanx-required dress."
