I have lost 25 pounds since August!
One of my main motivations for losing weight was my family health history. My family health history includes heart disease, diabetes, cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obesity. Another clear motivation was to “walk the talk.” I wanted to show others that the Melaleuca products really do work. And now that I’ve lost the weight, I even have a few more customers because of my weight loss success.
One of the key factors in my success was the accountability of logging my meals and exercise. I log on four or five times per week, after breakfast and after dinner. I log all of my meals and snacks, and my exercise. It is very easy and simple! Logging meals through the holidays helped me make better choices, like choosing to eat the pumpkin pie without the crust. Even on the ‘bad’ days I logged everything and it helped me be more aware of what I was eating. I also liked using the color-coded bar graphs in the Daily Nutrition Score to measure my progress. If the bar went into the “red,” I wanted to know why so I could make a better choice next time.
Also, consistently exercising helped me to consistently lose the pounds. I noticed a direct correlation with my weight loss and how much exercise I was doing.
VFL.com and the Melaleuca products really work! I take the Vitality Pack™. I eat an Access™ bar before my workout and a Simply Fit™ bar afterwards. For breakfast I eat a high fiber cereal. Lunch is usually a salad or a sandwich with lean meats and plenty of veggies and then a sensible dinner. One of the biggest changes I made was not eating in the evenings. I stopped snacking after dinner. However, if I was really hungry, I had an Attain™ shake.
Besides losing 25 pounds, my vital statistics have also improved. The changes in the numbers from my blood work get me even more excited than the weight loss! My blood pressure went from 149/87 to 117/73, my triglycerides went from 184 to 83, and my cholesterol went from 241 to 155! That makes me happy!
VFL.com works!
