A word from Wendy Barker, CEO and creator of the Figure 8 Bodychain.
Like many of you reading this, I was a yo-yo dieter for most of my life. I’d work incredibly hard to get my weight down, which would feel great, but then without realising it, my weight would inevitably creep slowly back up until once again I’d find myself several sizes bigger. I’d ask myself, ‘when did that happen? How did that happen?’ There I was yo yo dieting again.
Often my weight gain would start with a simple event such as a holiday or celebration. Instead of containing my celebratory eating to a day or two, it would continue unabated until I found myself buying a bigger pair of jeans again!
It occurred to me that what I needed was a simple ‘early warning device’ that would let me know immediately when I was beginning to gain weight. They say ‘necessity is the mother of invention!’ In this case, my necessity became the Figure 8 Bodychain – a simple, elegant piece of jewellery that doubles as a weight loss and weight maintenance aid.
Made in New Zealand from sterling silver or gold, the Figure 8 Bodychain can be worn constantly around your waist, either against your skin or over clothing. Either way, it looks beautiful and is almost undetectable by the wearer – until you need that reminder that your weight is creeping up!
I’ve been wearing my Figure 8 Bodychain 24/7 since 1998 and in that time, I have maintained a healthy weight easily. I no longer panic about going overboard around Christmas time, birthdays, holidays or any other day.
After experiencing my own personal success, I couldn’t wait to share the Figure 8 Bodychain with others and produced a further 28 chains for a small research group. One of those was my sister who has dropped from an uncomfortable size 22/24 to a slender 12/14 and has maintained her weight effortlessly since. Read her testimonial here.
The initial research results were outstanding. Just like me, those who used it were delighted with how easy it is to use and how effective it is. We have since had further research undertaken under the principal care of Ms Ella Henry, Senior Lecturer at AUT University, again with outstanding results.
The Figure 8 Bodychain is now patented nationally and internationally. I am delighted at its success to date, the testimonials that I regularly receive are an absolute pleasure to read – I look forward to many more!
