Lost 8 lbs and 14 inches! CALL TODAY: 951.736.1105 www.karlaadams.com KARLA ADAMS 25 Years Experience in Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition In her recent travels to Mammoth Mountain Ski Area in California, Meiling Dew settled into her condo and started her exercise routine – with a sack of potatoes and a couple of soup cans as her weights. Prior to entering Karla Adam’s virtual body budget program, Meiling struggled with reaching her fitness goals because of a mindset that overcomplicated the process. But since joining the program in May 2022, the Riverside native has taken control of her overall fitness and wellness goals no matter where she is. “Before, I was always making excuses, but the at-home workouts really work for me. It is nice to have Karla there on the screen and holding me accountable while being able to do the workout wherever I am,” said Meiling, who works a busy schedule as a nurse. Meiling’s decision to take her workouts seriously followed a breast cancer diagnosis in 2018 and a double mastectomy the following year. She also learned her A1C levels were elevated, a concerning diagnosis because her father, mother and brother were diabetic. Since starting the program, her A1C has dropped 13 points, and she has lost over 8 pounds and 14 inches. “Now, even in my early 60s, I have dropped weight, gained lean muscle mass and became healthy enough for the start of the ski season,” she said. “Karla’s virtual program is fun, and she makes sure I don’t overdo it or injure myself. I make no more excuses.” 2022 COVER FEATURE Clean Eating App Coming Soon! Follow Me! Join my Motivational Marketing and receive FREE Exercise Tips! SCAN WITH PHONE Meiling Dew’s Can-Do Attitude
