Click to View Transformation – (XFAT Client) – When I began the XFAT program given to me by Dawn I weighed 228 lbs. at 6’3”. I had no idea what my body fat % was because I hadn’t had it tested in a few years. The first thing I would recommend to people is to get the most accurate body fat test done when you begin your program so that you can see the actual composition change taking place in your body. I chose hydrostatic testing because it is considered to be among the most accurate and … Read more

Click to View Transformation – (XFAT Client) – Talk about an impressive transformation. I was told prior to beginning the XFAT program that it was designed to burn fat. I figured I would lose some weight, but I never expected to lose this much weight. From the beginning, I decided to follow the program to a “T” and see where it took me. I began by setting weekly weight loss goals for myself and was surprised to see that I either consistently met, or exceeded my own weight loss goals.… Read more

Read Full Testimonial – (XFAT(LITE) / XFAT Client) – It felt like the day that I turned 44, I was a different person. Not just because of the number but because of how I felt. I have always been a tall, fit to semi-fit runner girl that could pretty much eat what I wanted, drink what I wanted, then just miraculously run it off. Then 44 happened and it was over. It literally stopped and I was getting….gasp…FAT! I could still hide it but I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes. I’m 5… Read more

I lost a total of 20 lbs during the XFAT workout and lifestyle (Diet) plan. I learned so much about eating the proper foods for fuel and not just for pleasure. The food was the most difficult part for me. I learned how to cook several different types of recipes and did not get frustrated at myself if I fell off the wagon occasionally.

Read Full Testimonial – (XFAT(LITE) / XFAT Client) – My journey with XBodyConcepts began 7 months after having my second baby boy, and what a journey it has been! I have always been a gym junky, half marathon runner, sprint triathlon competitor, and over-all active person. Even after years and years of trying different diet plans and work out routines, I never quite felt like my body reflected all my hard work, that is, until I signed up with XBodyConcepts! Within the first two weeks of my XFAT Lite plan I went from 110.8 pounds to 105.6 pounds, keep in mind I am 5’1” tall. Wow was I pleased, and that was just the beginning. I started the XFAT program 4 weeks later and watched my body change from skinny to lean and fit! About 6 weeks into the XFATprogram my friends and family started to notice the change in my appearance and it was then that all my hard work was really paying off! I dropped my weight down to an incredible 104.2 lbs. I hadn’t seen a number that low since I was a junior in high school, but funny enough I look better now than I did then! Now I have a toned body, not just a skinny number on a scale. I finished this journey losing over 6 lbs and dropping my body fat %. I must admit the months were hard and I wasn’t always a perfect client when it came to eating but I never missed a workout! Who knows the results I would have seen if I stuck 100% with the diet plan. But I couldn’t be happier today! I will continue with my clean eating and am now enjoying another XBodyConcepts program! XBodyConcepts has changed the way I eat, sleep, drink, and live, both in and out of the gym. Thank you to Chad and Dawn for their continued support and encouragement! I look forward to many years of being an XBodyConcepts team member! Read Full Testimonial – (XFAT Client) – After running the XBodyConcepts XFAT program I dropped 6% bodyfat !!! I made a significant reduction in my waist size all while putting on a significant amount of muscle! I was shocked at my results and am a true believer in the XBodyConcepts system! I plan to continue on and see how lean and muscular I can get. This is just the beginning of a better me! Thanks Dawn! Read Full Testimonial – (XFAT(Lite) Client) – I was an avid runner or to put it in plain text a“cardio junkie.” Dawn turned me onto the XFAT Lite program. The Natzi fitness and nutrition queen ordered me to stop the cardio I was doing and follow her exercise program to a “T”. Using her XFAT Lite program for just the first 6 weeks, I saw a dramatic difference in my body. My starting measurements were 27.9% body fat and is now 25.7%, my biceps were 11.5 inches, now they are 10.75 inches, my waist was 35 inches and is now 31.5 inches. My weight was 173 pounds now I am down to 163 pounds. By following the XFAT Lite program I am now seeing better results than I ever got from doing cardio alone. I highly recommend this program if you want to see a difference! Thank you Thank you Thank you Dawn, AKA: Fitness & Nutrition Natzi! Read Full Testimonial – (XFAT(Lite) Client) – I started the XBC XFAT(Lite) Fitness and Nutritional Plan approximately three months ago and I have noticed great results overall. Within a week, I felt better and I had much more energy. I used to feel a little lethargic and tired in the early mornings when I woke up for work. Within the first week, I had more energy and I stopped drinking the two cups of coffee I always seemed to need before heading out the door. That was the first noticeable change I had from the program. It took me a few weeks to adapt to the nutritional plan. Lucky for me, I work with several people who are also on XBC Fitness and Nutritional plans and it made it easier not having the daily routine of going out to lunch. I wasn’t used to eating a big breakfast or eating every two to three hours all day long, but after only one month I got into the routine. This was when I began seeing the weight loss and lean muscle changes. After the second month, I nearly reached my goal weight and conditioning level. My endurance on mountain bike rides also increased considerably. I had a routine physical exam two months after being on the program and my doctor was surprised at my lowered triglyceride count, greatly improved cholesterol levels, and greatly improved blood sugar level. He was also surprised to see my 20 lb drop on the scale. Prior to starting my XBC plan my doctor had planned on prescribing me medication to counteract some of the negative blood levels I was experiencing. The great improvements I showed in my overall health as a result of my XBC plan resulted in my doctor not having to prescribe me any medication! My doctor was fascinated by the improvements in my health! I attribute my progress to Dawn’s help and guidance. I admit my implementation of the program was not completely consistent or strictly by the book by any means. I could have worked out more and not occasionally veered away from the nutritional plan on weekends. With that said, I have been able to implement the program into my life and maintain the weight loss and endurance I originally wanted from the program. Thanks Dawn! Click to View Transformation – (XFAT Client) – Hello XBodyConcepts Family, I want to give a little background about my journey into bodybuilding and becoming a figure competitor. During July of 2010, a friend introduced me to weight training and helped me prepare for my first Figure competition. I didn’t place or even make the top ten in the competition, but I was hooked for sure. I was determined to improve my physique by following a simple diet and weight training routine. When I began training, my starting body fat was 28% and I weighed 165 pounds on a 5 foot 9 inch frame, needless to say I was skinny-fat. In February of 2011, I decided to hire a professional trainer to help me train for my second competition. Once again, I didn’t place, but I was considerably more conditioned than the previous show. I was determined to prove to myself that I could make the necessary improvements by my third competition. After my second competition, my body hit a plateau, I was stuck. The extreme double cardio sessions and strict dieting left my body in a state of confusion. No matter how hard I worked out, I continued to put on extra pounds and found myself at 179 pounds and 17% body fat! I had also suffered a strained hamstring during a track workout that hindered my workouts. It was suggested by a friend, that I contact Dawn at XBodyConcepts to get my diet and training dialed in for maximum results. I was told that Dawn was an expert in getting people past their sticking points and had many strategies that she used to jumpstart her clients’ metabolism in situations where they had created problems for themselves using other far less effective weight loss and/or training schemes. I started the XBodyConcepts XFAT program on December 11, 2011. Dawn customized the program using a unique strategy to trick my body’s stalled metabolism into being a fat burning machine. It was hard to believe I could eat the items on my meal plan, work out and still get results. I had to resist my temptation to revert back to my old overtraining style of working out (i.e. double cardio days, etc.), in order to get the true benefits of the XFAT program. As the weeks went on, I continued to consistently watch the body fat melt away, but with ease. I also noticed I was gaining muscle. I continued with the XFAT program up until five weeks before my competition and then transitioned to a specific Pre-Competition training regimen to dial in my physique for the May 5, 2012 – NPC Contra Costa Bodybuilding Competition. Five weeks prior to the competition, I was amazed at the obvious improvements of my physique. I had never had so much lean muscle mass coupled with such low body fat. It was effortless compared to what I had been putting my body through prior to finding Dawn and XBodyConcepts. THE RESULT… On May 5, 2012, weighing in at 140 pounds and approximately 6% body fat, I won first place in the NPC Contra Costa Bodybuilding Competition (35+ Figure Competitor) and won fourth place overall in the open Figure Competitor Division. The key to my success was allowing Dawn at XBodyConcepts to take me outside my comfort zone. All I had to do was follow the XBodyConcepts plan and everything else fell into place!” (Click to View Transformation) Click to View Transformation – (XFAT Client) – There seems to be a point with most guys who truly “work-out”, where they finally figure out what lifts, exercises, diet, etc. seem to be the right combination to gain muscle mass and stay acceptably lean. I reached this point some time in college. I finally built the muscles I always wanted and got that great “pump” in the gym that everybody strives for. Even for a few years following college, I was enjoying the gym and would make different alterations to my workouts that would continue to challenge my body whether I wanted to bulk up or get cut. No matter what changes I made or different exercises I performed it was always based on a single-muscle-group per day type of workout with little to no cardio. When I was younger and mostly cared about gaining mass this worked fairly well but as time went by I was not reaping the same results. My body had finally gotten used to the same old routine and for the past couple of years I was just sort of maintaining and had lost my ambition in the gym. After saying for years that any type of circuit training didn’t work for me and that I could eat anything as long as I lifted daily, I finally came to a realization. I needed to not only completely change my routine, type of training and diet but more importantly, I needed a well laid out plan in front of me to follow. Just as I was coming to this realization, my friend Chad mentioned XBodyConcepts to me in the gym. I was very reluctant at first, but after checking out the website and seeing other people’s great results and seeing what members were posting in the XBC Facebook group I decided to go for it. After sending all of my information to Dawn she put together an XFAT program for me and upon receiving it I was blown away. I hadn’t expected it to be so well put together and complete. I also knew that it was going to make me hurt. A week or so in, that pain turned into awesome pumps and that amazing feeling we like to call “beast mode” in the gym. My body was changing again and I finally felt that desire to go lift that I thought I had lost. It is hard to make oneself stick to a diet but for some reason, the way Dawn laid it out it was actually pretty easy to follow. My body responded very well to the diet and my energy levels and recovery time were great. By the end of my 12 week XFAT my endurance had skyrocketed, I felt really strong, looked great and couldn’t wait to hit the gym every day. I can’t wait to get started on my XLRG! (Click to View Transformation) Click To View Transformation – (XFAT / XLRG Client) – “I grew up as the original athletic tall skinny kid. I always had trouble putting on weight and had lightning fast metabolism. Through heavy lifting over the past twenty-five years or so and lots of calories, I managed to grow to approximately 223 pounds at about 15% body fat. Fast forward to my being introduced to Dawn and XBodyConcepts. I talked with Dawn at length about my fitness goals and told her I had a phobia of getting skinny again, which is the opposite of most people. Dawn somehow convinced me to give her XFAT program a try. I did not mind leaning out but was petrified of the possibility I might lose muscle mass I had worked so hard to gain. Dawn assured me that I would lose body fat and gain lean muscle mass. I took the leap of faith and followed the XFAT plan to a “T.” At the end of twelve weeks my weight had decreased from 223 pounds to 198 pounds and my body fat dropped from 15% to 6.7%. The 6.7% body fat was calculated using a hydrostatic water body fat test which is supposed to be the most accurate available. I was leaner than I had ever been before and still had my muscle mass that I had worked so hard to gain. I am positive I could have continued on a follow-up version of the XFAT program and continued to cut body fat but I had now shifted gears and wanted to bulk up again. Dawn put me on the XLRG program and customized a new meal and workout plan aimed at all out mass gains. At the end of sixteen weeks on the XLRG mass plan I had gained an amazing 41 pounds! I had increased my weight from 198 pounds to 239 pounds. My body fat also increased from 6.7% to 9%. Dawn advised me upfront that the XLRG program was aimed at all out mass gains and that I would definitely put on muscle mass but would surely gain some fat along with the muscle. The XLRG program got me better results than I could have ever imagined. I plan to begin a new hybrid version of the XLRG/XFAT program and am anxious to see the results! Much thanks to Dawn and XBodyConcepts for helping me achieve my goals! (Click to View Transformation) Click to View Transformation – (XFAT(Lite) Client) – I have always been the skinny girl who could eat anything and never gain a pound. I was active and played sports, but indulged in whatever food I wanted. I had never been on a “diet” my entire life. Five years ago, after some big life changes, I got back into running and trained hard for many races and ran my first half marathon. I cross trained and included swimming and mountain biking in my daily routine. I ate restrictively, but not necessarily healthy or balanced for a runner. I had a love hate relationship with running. I enjoyed the social aspect and the feeling of accomplishment, but dreaded training, the agony of race day, and always felt sick after the event. It would take days to recover and many parts of my body ached and felt beat up. It never got easier and progress was measured in minute miles and distance versus how I felt. After some injuries and life’s demands I pulled back, stopped signing up for races and just restricted my food intake to maintain my weight. I was tired all the time. Sleep was maybe 4 hours a night, but never consecutive. Happy hour was not just reserved for weekends and after awhile I started to see changes in my body shape and not positive ones. I became the skinny fat girl! I saw Dawn’s transformation on Facebook and was in awe. Such a beautiful women who now had a body that was staggeringly stunning. I read Dawn’s posts and started reading the stories and transformation of her clients. I saw Dawn in person in March and was mystified by how happy healthy and hot she looked! In May I pulled the trigger and signed up. I weighed in at 119 with 19.23% body fat. It was shocking to see my before pictures documenting my start on this journey. I was used to looking skinny and seeing 108 when I jumped on the scale. Dawn started me on the XFAT LITE program to ease me in. The first two weeks on the new eating plan were torture. A big shift in what and how often I was eating. No candy? No wheat beers or IPAs? No cereal for dinner? Oh boy was my body in for a shock. This was a cleanse for me. I saw the eating plan and thought this will be a miracle if I can do this for one day without cheating! I did ok the first 5 days (my two girls would say I was a grumpy mama!) and then had a bad day and fell off the plan and ate too many doughnuts and a box of Mike and Ike’s. The next day I was very surprised how icky I felt. Saturday and Sunday were “get back on track” days and I renewed my commitment to stick to the plan no matter what. Each day got easier. I started to feel better and I was sleeping through the night. My body adjusted to this new “eat to fuel” way of meals and the workouts and there was no turning back. After 3 weeks my girls started noticing the changes in my mood, outlook, and appearance! In 4 weeks my weight stayed the same but I lost 2% body fat! I went swimsuit shopping with my 6 foot 1 fifteen year old glamazon daughter and it was bitter sweet. I had to go down a size but I still had much work to do to achieve my goal. Confidence in my own skin. Feeling great, strong and beautiful in a bikini. At 41 this was more work than I ever imagined. It was hard to admit that this would not come easy. I would get the results if I did the work at 100%. Progress continues and a week and a half ago I graduated to the XFAT plan and I have remained committed. My results after four weeks on the XFAT LITE program are I am down to 116 pounds and 14.6% body fat (a loss of 4.6% body fat in four weeks!). I have turned the corner. I am amazed that this was always within me. I am setting a healthy example for my precious girls that success can be measured in how we look externally but success is achieved with the balance in how we feel about ourselves. Healthy, happy and hot! If you are teetering on the edge of whether Dawn’s plans can work for you, trust me, take the leap of faith and commit! It works whatever your goals are. If you follow her plan you will achieve success. What do have to lose? Just some body fat and maybe some insecurities. Shedding those two things in your 40’s is priceless. When I finish my journey on the XFAT plan I will have Dawn post my updated pictures and you’ll see being “skinny” is not all it’s made out to be. I’m now my own measuring stick! I want to be a lifetime XFAT girl! (Click to View Transformation) Read Full Testimonal – (XFATwo Client) I am 40 years old and have worked out off and on most of my life. I am very active and like participating in different sports. I wanted to get in better shape and was looking for something new. In the past two years I have worked out pretty consistently, but felt my workouts were like groundhog day. I needed something to change things up. I have done P90X in the past and liked the principle of muscle confusion. I heard about Dawn and X Body Concepts and thought this was just what I needed to change things up. I decided to do the XFATWO as my diet was pretty disciplined and only needed some minor tweaking. My beginning weight was 192 lbs. I did the hydrostatic body fat testing in the beginning as I was told it was the most accurate. To my surprise my body fat % was 12.9%. I thought it was much higher. My goal was to loose body fat and keep as much muscle mass as possible. My goal was to get to 10% body fat or less. As I continued week by week I felt stronger and could see the results. I felt like I had a lot of energy and always felt I got a good workout. Every couple weeks as the workouts changed I felt like I had that “good muscle soreness”, which told me the workouts were working and my muscles were no getting used to the same old workout. Dawn is very knowledgable and was always there to answer questions. The X Body Concepts Facebook page was also very helpful and motivating. There were articles published relating to diet and different exercises which were very helpful. It was very motivating to have that kind of support. At the end of the 14 weeks I felt I saw good results. I was down to 181 lbs. My arm, quad, and calf size stayed the same, however I felt I could see more definition. I gained size in my chest and shoulders, and lost 2 1/2 inches in my waist. My final body fat percentage was 10.6%. Even though I was slightly off from my goal of 10% body fat, I feel I could have obtained that goal had I been a little more strict in my cardio efforts. All in all I am very pleased with the program and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to loose body fat and lean out. I may try the XLRG program over the winter and run the XFAT program again in the spring. Read Full Testimonial – (XFAT(Lite) Client) – Hi my name is Angelique and I am 47 years old. I have 6 children. Four I birthed and two step. I work full time and have a very busy life. I am the person that would lose and gain, lose and gain. I have done EVERY diet in the past, including prescribed diet pills, but the weight ALWAYS came back. Then I got this brilliant idea that I would gain so much weight so I could qualify for the lap band surgery. So I gave myself permission to eat unhealthy, in large quantities and drink to achieve this goal. Well the process would take about a year before I could get it so I finally realized this was stupid! I was tired of being fat and exhausted and purchasing bigger clothes. I was at 185lbs, 5.2 inch tall and over 40% body fat. I was tired of walking by the really cute clothing stores knowing I could never fit in any of them. And worst of all I felt like such a failure to my children. I could see their concern at how heavy I was getting. But bless their hearts and my husband’s heart, they never said anything. On March 13th, I was roller skating with my family and fell when a small child fell in front of me. Needless to say I had torn my tendon off of my butt bone and it would require surgery to reattach. (I just had a surgery 6 months prior to this for a hysterectomy and endometriosis) I was lying in bed feeling defeated when I came across the Xbodyconcepts that my friend Chad Morris posted on Facebook. I took a look at it and decided that day that this was my way out of this VERY unhealthy lifestyle. I had my surgery and while I was in recovery, I purchased the XFAT LITE program. Two weeks after my hamstring was reattached, I hit the gym with a mission. The first two weeks I could not even walk up the stairs without the assistance of my husband. I could not use my legs at all for the first 6 weeks and that was really frustrating! I focused on my upper body and little by little we tried using the legs. I had every excuse not to go to the gym but I went every day. I started with 5 lb. weights and felt totally ridiculous. I sometimes felt like I wasn’t worthy of working out in the area where the really fit people were. I just kept my head phones on, ignored the feelings and held my head high and said damn it, I deserve to be here! I emailed Dawn multiple times each day asking her question after question, and sometimes doubting her. There were days I was feeling higher than a kite and then there were days, I cried. There were days I felt like I could become a body builder and days I told Dawn it just wasn’t working. I had days where I pushed too hard and hurt myself which set me back a couple of weeks, but I always looked for alternatives and worked what parts I could, really hard. Finally about week 7, I saw some results and said, well maybe Dawn knows what she is talking about……lol. This began to bring me out of my doubting funk. Pushing through the changes was very hard for me. I was losing friends that I went out and drank with and I stopped getting invited to parties because my focus was to get healthy. This hurt me and at first and I was really frustrated and angry. I told Dawn I felt like I was sacrificing too much but she would always set me straight. She would tell me what was important and that this was a life style change and I had a choice. One was to take care of me or continue the old life. So I stopped putting myself in bad situations and started making better choices. When I felt strong enough to attend parties or BBQ’s, I would tell people no thanks to the drinks or bad food and just tell them I was in training. This sounded better and it didn’t offend people and it kept me more positive about what I was doing. Eventually it did get easier. I began putting myself first and then everything else came second. I would start planning my day around my workouts not the other way around. I stopped feeling guilty for telling people sorry I can’t make it, or I can’t help you, I am going to the gym. I began creating healthy positive treats for myself like going out and lying by the pool for 30-45 minutes after my workout, reading a good book or buying a smaller outfit. After 12 weeks the results were great! I went from a size 16 to a 10! I lost 22 lbs and dropped my body fat from 40% to 31.5%. I feel so much better! I hear all the time, “You look so good.” My friends ask me what I am doing and I always refer them to Xbodyconcepts. I tell them it’s all about your commitment, clean eating and working out. There is no secret pill, no new diet that will do it. Now I crave going to the gym. When I started I could barely push 5 lbs. weights or walk up the stairs and now I am using 30lb dumbbells. I can now squat and do leg curls. I feel so strong now and I love when I push myself to a new weight each week. It makes me want more. I am excited to take on my next 12 weeks and start the XFAT program with even more amazing results! My new goal is to enter a body competition by age 50 which is only 1 ½ years away. If you are tired of being overweight, and or have physical issues, trust Dawn and Xbodyconcepts. The program works and Dawn will help you every step of the way!
