Before starting with Isagenix, Caroline felt like she was on a downward spiral. Juggling her busy life as a corporate account manager at a bank and a mum of two was overwhelming her. She was stressed, anxious and she had started to neglect her health.

Though she managed to hide it from her boys, she often was just looking forward to the weekend, just so she could rest in bed once their activities were over. “I became overweight and really sad about it all, which affected my self-esteem. I felt trapped with little enthusiasm for life and was unsure where I was heading.”

Since she found the motivation to commit to Isagenix her results have been amazing. “I have lost 3 stone*, I have more energy and enthusiasm and feel much less stressed. My confidence has been boosted and colleagues and friends have commented on the difference which has really helped my self-esteem.”

She is happy about the weight loss but most of all is grateful to Isagenix for making her feel so much better. Having more energy has had a positive impact on her relationship with her children.

“Everything is so much better now that I have the time and energy to spend more quality time with them. For the first time in a long time I feel happy – thank you Isagenix for this fantastic program!”

Caitlin had struggled with her weight for what felt like forever. At the end of last year, after ten years of trying diets that didn’t work, she felt like she was standing at a crossroads.

“I was 22 years old, massively overweight and unable to enjoy my life. I wore black constantly. Oversized, black clothes that showed no ounce of my personality and faded me into the background. I continuously compared myself to every other 22-year-old girl, believing I would never be able to look and feel like they do.”

Disappointed with what she had tried in the past, Caitlin found herself living off processed, excessively sweetened foods, and ordering takeaway several times a week. “I was completely miserable.”

Then she started her journey with Isagenix. Six months later she feels like her life has gone from living in black and white to full colour. “My results have been incredible: better sleep, mental clarity, better energy levels, and I have lost so much weight!”

Now, Caitlin feels like the best version of herself. “I will never be able to describe the full impact these products and this change have had on my life. I have never been prouder of myself than I am now. I had to learn how to be kinder to myself and understand that my journey is my own. I have fallen off the wagon but I have always got back on…and I don’t plan to stop.”

“I am the happiest I have ever been.” It has certainly felt like a challenge to Caitlin, “but it’s been my best challenge yet.”

Stephen Perry

Stephen was a bodybuilder for 15 years. “I enjoyed gym life and, to be honest, life itself.”

But 6 years ago his world stopped when at just 45, he was diagnosed with chronic leukaemia. His prognosis wasn’t positive and he was told he would have to go through chemotherapy.

“I am now three years in remission, but chemotherapy really took its toll and for 18 months I was very ill.” In January of this year, as he was feeling better, he decided to start with Isagenix and join his wife Elena in the IsaBody Challenge.

Her friend Helen had introduced her to the products and she had taken part in the IsaBody Challenge last year. “What a change that was for her! This year I made the conscious decision to push myself and start the challenge too with her helping me along the way.”

Stephen couldn’t be happier with his results. “I’ve lost over 14kgs of fat and gained more than 8kgs of muscle.* I never expected that!” Many people have commented on his transformation. “That makes you feel good, I tell you!”

His results have made him feel so much better, and Stephen now finds his difficult situation easier to get through. “Isagenix is the best way forward in my eyes. With all my heart, thank you!”

Sharon Ives

Age: 40
Height: 1.67 / 5’6’’
Location: Hailsham, United Kingdom

Challenge End Weight: 135.53 lb / 61.6 kg*

As a regular gym goer, Sharon believed she was healthy. But she was underestimating all the bad eating habits she had developed over the years. “I was lazy about cooking and guilty of buying too many ready-made meals. I was also drinking too much coffee, not to mention a bit more alcohol than I should.”

“I work full time in a stressful job as a social worker. I’m also a mum of three children, one of whom has disabilities and struggles with anxiety, so life always feels pretty full.” With her 40^th birthday approaching, Sharon felt like something had to change.

She had been introduced to Isagenix by a friend, but she was sceptical. “Watching and seeing other people’s results made me feel like I needed to give it a go myself.”

Since starting on the Isagenix program, Sharon has never looked back. “Not only have I lost weight and improved my health but I have more energy and my sleep is better. It has also boosted my self-esteem, friends and colleagues have noticed my changes and given me lots of positive comments about how great I look!” She has also started cooking from scratch and rediscovered her love for fresh ingredients and healthy food.

“I love Isagenix so much, I’ve started to share the products myself. My only regret now is I didn’t start it sooner!”
