Hi. My name is Vicki Swift and I have had a history of being on this site several times over the past four years. First I was doing Atkins and then I did South Beach. Unfortunately, I had a tough time sticking to anything long term. On January 22, 2012 I was introduced to someone who had done Advocare 24 day challenge and has lost over 110 pounds and kept if off for the past three years. I was impressed and wanted to know more. I purchased the 24 day challenge and started. I weighed in at 223 pounds. The heaviest I had been ever! I started out with a gentle and non eventful herbal cleanse the first 10 days and WOW! I lost 10 lbs in 10 days! I then went on to do the MNS3 Metabolic nutritional system along with using spark for mental focus and additional energy. I ended up losing 22 pounds and 11.75 inches all over my body in 24 days! Going forward to today, October 20, 2012, I have lost a total of 50 pounds! I am now weighing in at 173 pounds and still going strong! I am getting ready to start my challenge again Next Thursday but wanted to share my success with people on FatSecret as I know sometimes you just need a little encouragement! I found out that eating is the secret, not dieting. You need to know the secret and I will be happy to help anyone who would like to try it. My website is www.swiftchampions.com and you can read more of my story there and contact me if you would like to learn more about why YOYO dieting does not work long term. I am happier than ever and am going strong towards my goal!
