“MELALEUCA IS SAVING MY LIFE”
Kristie Marbut joined Melaleuca hoping to earn a little money to supplement her home machine quilting business. It did far more than that. It helped her lose 80 pounds.
MAKING CHANGES Shortly after she enrolled with Melaleuca, Kristie was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension. Her doctors told her if that she didn’t lose weight she would have to go through surgeries. So she decided to take advantage of the resources Melaleuca and VFL.com had to offer.
TRACKING PROGRESS One of the most effective changes Kristie made was eating 5 or 6 small meals a day that were high in protein and fiber instead of 2 or 3 big meals. She also exercises six times a week, alternating days with weights and water aerobics. She tracks it all on VFL.com.
STAYING MOTIVATED Besides being a resource of information and tracking tools, VFL.com has also helped Kristie stay motivated. “We cheer each other on at the discussion boards,” she says. “When I get a little frustrated and plateau, I get back on the boards. Everyone cheers each other up and I think ‘I’ve come this far. I can keep going.’”
So far, Kristie has lost 50 pounds with the help of VFL.com, which makes a total of 80 pounds since she enrolled with Melaleuca. “I feel better about myself,” she says. “Melaleuca is saving my life.” By continuing to focus on VFL.com’s three pillars of Eating Smart, Getting Active, and Staying Accountable, Kristie is marching steadily to her final goal of complete physical wellness.
