Our "Back to You" makeover winner, Margie, had quite an adventure in New York. She and her sister experienced two whirlwind days filled with shopping, skin, rejuvenation, a fashion, hair and makeup update and hopefully some self-discovery. Check out her story and before and after photos.
Lora knew exactly how to dress when she was an HR executive, but when she retired she was dazed and confused about how to dress for lunch with friends, dinner with her husband and non-profit board meetings. Fashion expert Bridgette Raes to the rescue.

Sherry's Beauty Makeover
We recruited Sherry Kas from Grand Rapids, Mich., for a teeth, skin, hair, diet and fitness makeover. At first she said that she didn't have time for herself (or our makeover). But with the encouragement of her children, she decided to go for it. The videos here capture the process - good watching, especially if you're considering making some changes in your own health and beauty profile. Matthew Shields, the hair stylist, is the stylist for the Back to You promotion.
Sherry Kas was buffed and plumped, polished and shined. Months later, she looks back at the procedures and products and tells us what she really thinks.
Sherry's Nutrition Breakthrough
Derek Johnson gave Sherry the tools and information she needed to make a big change in her life — and she ran with it. Read about her journey.
Sherry committed herself 100 percent to the program created for her by BravaBody fitness experts Bonnie Stoll and Diana Nyad. She braved a 4:30 a.m. alarm and pushed herself to meet the challenge. With a 22-pound weight loss, the story has a happy ending.
Sponsored by SmartNow, Sherry K. embarked on a six-month makeover plan that started in late November 2007. The total cost of her makeover was nearly $8.500! Julie Wainwright, co-founder of SmartNow.com, took the budget makeover challenge and found she could look better and spend less by doing it herself. On a budget? Here's how Julie's budget makeover compared to Sherry's deluxe makeover.
