“I can’t believe I just paid that much!” I thought as I walked out the door. “The director did say she guaranteed the program, so I’ll probably get free treatments for life!” I am not gullible and I have tried so many different plans, so something the director, Deborah McCamie said during the get acquainted session must have made sense to me.It’s not that I was really overweight by any medical standards. I actually eat a
very healthy diet, exercise quite a bit, don’t binge, and generally eat small portions as a result of a lifetime of trying to lose weight and stay in shape…. Having managed to stay an acceptable weight the first half of my adult life, over the last 15 or 20 years my clothes kept getting smaller and smaller…. “You’re getting older,” I would think, “and women are supposed to gain weight and inches as they age.” Still, I did not like to see the scale slowly registering higher numbers and my wardrobe regularly shrinking….
During those years, I tried every “diet” that sounded even slightly healthy, from total no-carbs, to replacement shakes, to programmed prepared meals, and all to no avail. I followed each diet’s regulations conscientiously for a minimum of one or two months. My weight did not go up, but it never went down either. I really had given up thinking I would just keep gaining slowly as I got older, when I saw a Get-Acquainted offer for getting a flat tummy in two weeks in the newspaper. The price was higher than a two hour massage at any day spa, but I was intrigued. I called and asked some questions to make sure there were no invasive or really questionable procedures. Then out of curiosity, I made an appointment.
The get acquainted appointment lasted over three hours. It included being measured, getting sample treatments with special creams and massaging machines, and a conversation with the director, Deborah McCamie, who proposed a goal and a plan to get there. “I am not inexpensive, but I get results. I guarantee it,” she said.
Still totally skeptical, I didi sign up for a set of treatments…. I had a major case of buyer’s remorse as I walked out the door. “I won’t tell anyone what I am doing,” I thought. “I’ll try what she said – but it probably won’t work with me.”
I followed Deborah’s guidelines for eating, had three treatments
the first week and two the next week because of a holiday. I lost some of that bloated feeling, but really did not notice any real weight loss or size change. “Do you see people losing weight with these treatments?” I asked the therapist as I sat in a mini steam room. “Yes, I see people losing inches,” she said quietly. I was still skeptical.
The third and fourth week, I had two and three treatments respectively and that is when it happened. My scale which has been permanently stuck in one position for well over 5 years started showing a much lower number! My tightest paints suddenly fit better! Something somehow had pulled a plug on my body and the weight and inches started draining away. After 5 weeks, I had lost about 8 1/2 pounds and at least two inches each from my waist and thighs. I had originally thought I heeded to lose about 6 pounds, and here I was almost 9 pounds lighter! Deborah McCamie simply smiled knowingly and recommended I stay with it for a few more sessions to get just below this level before I went on a maintenance program. I continued spreading the treatments out over the next month and lost a few more pounds and another inch or so.
I still cannot believe it, but it happened and I cannot say for sure exactly how or why it worked for me, but it
did. I am sure the results from the Body Beauté treatments vary with the individual. And that’s precisely the reason that this program works. Deborah McCamie personally individualizes each treatment and all the dietary recommendations for each client she sees, and changes it according to your results during the sessions. This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all program – and that is exactly what makes your size decrease!
