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

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!

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) – So I felt inclined to write a testimonial about my experience with the XBC workout and nutritional plans… I’m not one to pass my name off on something on a whim, I truly have to believe in the product, which in this case I do. I have gone a long time trying to reach my fitness and body image goals and have struggled for a long time. Fitness has always been a challenge for me. I was into it and wanted to do it, but in a world where attention spans are measured in seconds, if I didn’t see results extremely fast I was disheartened and eventually gave up on the endeavor.

Fast forward some time later and again I’m trying to get into shape, not only for the sake of vanity but for my job in law enforcement. Not knowing how to go about radically changing my body, I sought out Dawn at XBODYCONCEPTS and her XFAT program. The results were undeniable and I felt the difference right away. A couple weeks in and I started to see the difference in myself. A few more weeks and other people were seeing the difference in me and the compliments started pouring in. When this happens it fuels your fire and it makes adopting this lifestyle very easy which is what happened to me.

Don’t get me wrong there were times I was cursing the high heavens because I was sore, felt sick from being sore, tired, weak, and hated eating. In that struggle, you find what you’re really made of. The question is not if Dawn’s plans work because they do, and they do very well, you will be hard pressed to find anyone more knowledgeable or more accessible than Dawn. She is always available to answer any questions or hear any concerns you may have. The question becomes if you have the constitution and courage to stick it out when it all seems lost and there is no end in sight. All the tools you need are here. The secret is that your results won’t come from a pill, powder, gel, or whatever, they come from dedication and hard work, as they should! Que the motivational posters we have all come to love so dearly!

So my results after completion of the XFAT program are as follows:

Body fat: 12.6% to 9.2%

Weight: 168lbs to 175lbs (lean muscle gains!)

I lost body fat and gained muscle at the same time! Plus definition and I can see my abs….

So without any mental reservation I highly recommend Dawn and her XBC programs! I am truly appreciative to Dawn and Chad and all the other XBC members for all their advice and guidance along my journey which is still not yet complete. I will check back in and give you my results after I finish the XBC XLRG program!

(XFAT (Lite) / XFAT Client) – XFATLTE is formatted for the perfect lifestyle change. XFATLTE took me from a starting weight of 223 lbs and a body fat percentage of 27%, to a weight of 200 lbs. and a body fat percentage of 22% in eight weeks. After completing the XFATLTE program, I started on the XFAT program. On the XFAT program I have dropped my weight from 200 lbs to 188 lbs, and my body fat percentage has dropped from 22% to 17.7%, and I still have a few weeks to go before completing the XFAT plan. So far I have lost a total of 35 lbs while gaining lean muscle mass and have dropped my body fat percentage nearly 10%. My waist size has decreased from 43.5” to 35” a loss of 8.5”!!!

There are no extreme diets or workouts that tend to de-motivate people after a month or two. XFATLTE and XFAT are easy to follow and proven effective for extreme fat burning and muscle building. The key to success is simple consistency. This has been by far the most effective fat loss and strength building plan I have ever encountered.

Read Full Testimonial – (XFAT Client) – Hi Dawn, I took my after pics and had my body fat tested. I started out with a 28% body fat and ended at 18 %. 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. Having been a skinny hard gainer until the last few years I never had to worry about what I ate. Once I got older the weight began to add up. Additionally, working the type of job I have which requires me to work odd hours without much sleep it is difficult to find food late at night. Planning my meals and cooking in bulk ahead of time really helped. Overall, I felt like I have more energy, stamina and strength. I have never had so many people in the gym compliment me on my change in physique. My wife is also very happy with the results. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all of the encouragement and advice along the way. This plan has changed my life.

The one piece of advice I would like to tell current and future members is this. Going to the gym used to be a time for me not to just workout but to socialize with friends. When you start this program tell your friends in the gym ahead of time so you don’t suddenly become the guy (or girl) that offends everyone. I was so focused on my training and rest times that I no longer had time to socialize. I recommend buying a shirt that says “I’m not an asshole, I’m training.” So many times people would be talking to me and I would either just be in the zone and not hear them or I would force them to follow me throughout the gym to talk because I wasn’t stopping. I just recently completed the Tough Mudder challenge. I never quit throughout the 11 mile course and although I was tired and sore I had some left in the tank at the end of the challenge and felt great.

Lastly, your plan provided me with a very descriptive program. There was no guessing as to what to eat and when, or what body part to train and how and when. It was all there written on the paper in front of me. Just follow your plan and your goals will follow. Thank you again, a very lean – Joe M.

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 5’8″1/2 , I weighed close to 155 and had 23.6% body fat.

I knew Dawn (then Whatley now Morris) from High School and had friended her on Facebook. I didn’t really know much about her, other than she was a great gal and had posted these incredible “transformation” pictures of herself through the XBC Program. In January, a month before my birthday, I made a post on Facebook to look half as good as Dawn and Michelle Camina (another high school friend) who was also training with weights. They both remarked with sweet and sincere thoughts. I kept them in my fitness journey and mind.

I thought in January that I could do it by myself without any plan or diets. So, I did what I know best, I ran. I ran and ran but was only getting fatter and fatter. This was so discouraging because it had always taken me a week….or two to get back. Now, I was stuck.

Finally, April 1, 2012 -No Fools- I began Dawn’s XBC XFAT Lite Plan. I will kid you not, it was rough but surprisingly filled with things that I was already drawn to and my body started to adapt immediately. The “food plan” was awesome and filling and then of course the workouts came.  I was directed not to run…..WTH….I’m a runner girl, that’s what I do. But I followed the plan.

Before I knew it, I was ready for the XFAT program. I stuck to the plan diet wise but had some gym issue commitments due to work. Surprisingly enough, I fell in love with the gym and my muscles and I felt full-on comfortable with any other gym boy/rat out there in that “scary free-weight room”.  All and all I think I rocked it! Bottom line at the end of my training I lost 15 pounds….140 and am now 15% for a total loss of 8.6% body fat.

Thank you Dawn and Chad and all of my XBC Friends for the support. I’m going to continue my fitness journey.  Who knows, one day I might rock a bikini at a show when I’m 50 😉 Much love!

Click to View Transformation – (XFAT(Lite)3 Client) – A little background on myself… I have always been an athlete and in relatively good physical shape. I played baseball at the college level. As a college athlete, I learned the importance of exercising properly and developed good lifting technique. However, the one thing it never really taught me was how to tailor my eating/nutrition/lifting regimen to lean out and gain muscle mass while maintaining a certain body weight. Once I stopped playing sports, I got more into lifting with a focus on gaining muscle mass. I had never lifted for size gains before, so I started out how most people do. I read books and magazines on lifting and began lifting with my more knowledgeable friends at the gym. I made decent gains but there was no real science behind my methods; it was all just a shot in the dark through trial and error. I pretty much lifted whichever muscle group I felt like and I had no plan for my gym sessions. I had a strong desire to get more definition and tone but was having trouble achieving it on my own.

Prior to talking with the XBodyConcepts group, I was 6’1”, 210 pounds with a body fat around 11%. I was benching in the mid 300’s and was rarely doing any leg exercises. I was frustrated with all the fad programs and wanted someone knowledgeable to layout a plan that had the science behind it to assure I got the results I was after. I was referred to Dawn at XBodyConcepts. I told Dawn what my goal was and she customized a detailed workout and nutrition plan that was going to get me the results I was after. Dawn provided me with a customized plan (XFAT Lite 3) that I was to stick to for 12 weeks. I took the challenge with the understanding that I would not be training for a competition and would break the meal plan occasionally for a night out or a dinner. Though I know if I had adhered to the plan 100% my results would have been even better, I would say that I stuck to the plan about 95% of the time. Even with my occasional cheat meals, I was able to easily see the results almost immediately. I could see my abs coming through on my stomach and noticeable definition in my shoulders and arms. My friends were noticing my results as well and I was getting a lot of positive feedback. I felt very strong on all my lifts during the program. Additionally, I began to lift my legs again and am back to squatting in the mid 400s for the first time since college. After 12 weeks on the program my final weight was 197 pounds and I dropped down to 8.2% body. I am very pleased with my results and look forward to running the XLRG plan this winter to target all out mass gains! (Click to View Transformation)

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)
