My name is Karen Vittoria.  I am 43 years old and have 3 children.  I have also been a figure competitor for a little over a year.  I was recommended to Barbie after my second competition to see if a new approach in dieting and training would give me the results I needed to succeed in competition.  At first, I was a little hesitant to see a nutritionist because I knew she would tell me that I wasn't eating enough during the day.  Even though I have a very strong medical and science background, I knew this was the truth.  Barbie worked with  me with my likes and dislikes of food.  The menu was made up of foods that I liked (I picked them out) and it was so easy to follow.  She and I had 5 weeks to get me in top form for my next competition (not a lot of time in figure competition), but she did it!  I ended up taking second place.  I felt great and looked even better.  Barbie didn't put me on a diet but a "doable and easy" lifestyle.  Her training was though but fun which made hard workout sessions fly by.  She targeting my problem areas and got me a great result which was what I was looking for.  She supported me through tough posing practice sessions, hard training sessions, and difficult dieting weeks as well as always being there for me during my competitions.  Now, during my off season, Barbie works with me with nutrition and guides me with easy convenient lifestyle of eating.  I could not have done it without the support and guidance of Barbie.

Cornell was tired of leading the classic "busy New York lifestyle" that didn't allow for healthy eating.  He thought there has to be a better way!  So he came to see Barbie.  After getting his food plans dialed in, Cornell was able to trasform his body in a matter of 4 months!  He lost 28 pounds, 9% Body Fat and 13 1/2 Total Body Inches!  Cornell is a living example of how easy taking control of your life can be.  Anyone can do it!

My name is Mario Licciardello.  I am 48 years old and have been a competitive bodybuilder for over 2 years.  I approached Barbie to provide me with a competition diet that I could stick with and would be easy and convenient.  I work full time and had very little time to prepare my daily food.  Barbie was able to give me advice and guidance to make my daily eating simple and good.  I was able to eat all the foods I liked...well...almost...she said no to the peanut M&Ms, but I can't win them all.  I prepared everything for a week in just a few hours.  I am able to make my next days food the night before and then I don't have to think about what I am going to eat and I am never hungry, actually I feel like I am eaing all the time!  I was able to trim down while still feeling like I am eating not on a diet.  I placed third in my competition and looked great.  Even when I am not competing, I still see Barbie on a regular basis to update my menu and adjusted it to add bulk onto my frame.  Barbie makes my life very simple.  She is always there to support and guide me whether it is preparing for a competition or during the off season.  Her nutritional guidance is invaluable.

I started working with Barbie in July of 2007, just 1 month after my engagement.  I have always struggled with my weight, but with an upcoming wedding, I decided that this was the time to do it right.  While I always considered myself to be a healthy eater, I soon realized that I had no idea about portion size or how to make a balanced meal.  In 4 short months, through working with Barbie for my nutrition and sticking to a workout routine, I lost over 14 inches!  People are amazed with my progress.  But most importantly, I feel great and have a whole new outlook on food in general.  And the best part is that Barbie makes it so simple!  She designs balanced meal plans for me with the foods that I enjoy!  And to top it off, Barbie is such a great support to me by listening and giving me that extra push when I need it!  I know that when I put on my wedding dress in May of 2008, I will feel amazing!
