Don't Take Our Word For It...

Team 12 is excited to announce 12Nation member Krista Jensen has joined our team of Member Services Coordinators! She has been a dedicated member of our community for quite some time and has worked hard towards her goals. Read her story…

“This past weekend was the end of my 12 Week Challenge, and the beginning of the rest of my lifelong journey. I truly am so unbelievably happy that I decided to embark on this journey, I have learned so much about health in general and about myself. I can honestly say it has changed my life in the very best way possible. I went into this at 33.2% BF and came out at 24.9%.... THAT’S A 25% LOSS... In 12 WEEKS! It amazes me what you can accomplish if you truly try and believe in yourself and your coaches!

I've been going to The 12 for over a year now and can't believe I waited this long to do this. I knew I needed help with my nutrition when I was working out 5-7 days a week and was not seeing results. So When I finally signed up for the Challenge I was nervous but knew it would be amazing, and coupling that with the Afterburn Nutrition Program has changed my life in so many ways!

Just like so many people I thought I knew the "healthy" way to eat, boy was I wrong!! My first meeting with Nikki Boyd, Director of the Afterburn Nutrition Program, was the true start to my new mindset on health and fitness. In that first meeting we got to talk about my nutrition goals that I was looking to meet during this journey together and not only was I taught what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat... But I was taught WHY!! That's huge! I think that's one of the reasons this is such an amazing and successful program. You don't just meet with your coach and blindly eat what your told...they help you understand what your body NEEDS in order to FUEL you!! You learn that "FOOD IS FUEL"!

I met with Nikki every other week and in each meeting we had the opportunity to not only go over my food and adjust what needed to be adjusted (depending on plateaus or the way my body was responding), but we also had the opportunity to delve into the importance of my nutrition piece by piece. Each meeting you had the chance to fill your mind with life changing knowledge about nutrition as a whole and YOUR body! You come out with a new understanding and a new appreciation for food and how your body works! Our last meeting was the most important of all, it was the meeting that we had the opportunity to discuss where I go from here, and how to maintain my new found healthy lifestyle. That was huge for me, I didn't feel like I was left out in the cold now that the program was over...I felt like I could not only do this on my own, but succeed at it thanks to this amazing program!

My journey may be over with Nikki but that doesn't by any means that I'm done. I have a specific goal that I am looking to meet and now thanks to the nutritional coaching, I have the means and knowledge to get there! So to say that The 12's Afterburn Nutritional Program is worth it is an understatement. THIS PROGRAM IS TRULY LIFE-CHANGING and I cannot wait for this next chapter in my life!” –Krista J.
