I’m SUPER excited to introduce Bent Fork Nutrition’s very first success story!
As many of you know, adopting healthier lifestyle habits or making any sort of lifestyle change is a challenge! There are many bumps along the road, sometimes we fall off the wagon and other times we learn lessons that are worth sharing! If you’re like me, I love learning and being inspired by people’s path to wellness! Whether it be in a magazine or on a reality TV show, I love seeing a person’s transformation, how they did it and their tips for success! That is why I am honored and excited to share with you, our very first success story participant!
Name:Wynter Connors (one of my besties…seen here with our fur-babies!)
Age: 27 years old (20 days older than me! Ha!)
About: Happily married for 5 years (to one of my husband’s besties)! Proud fur-baby mommy to Kayleigh (mini one) and Jax (“big” dog of the family)!
Health History:
- Struggled with weight issues since Jr/Sr High School
- Type II diabetes (controlled with metformin)

Goals!
- First short term goal: Break the 200lb barrier!

Stay tuned for our first progress update! Including lessons learned, avoiding the “red light foods” (i.e. chips & dip and nighttime noshing), weight loss check in and more!
Congratulations Wynter on taking your steps towards a healthier lifestyle. You should be commended.
Good luck, I can’t wait to hear about your progress.
Best of luck Wynter, I know you can do it!! Along with your own motivation and having Krista help you along with the nutrition side of things there is really nothing to lose. Were I work, we are having a Biggest Loser challenge, various shapes/sizes and everyone is doing great and Krista has been/is a great help to our participants!! I look forward to seeing your updates 🙂
