I am wife to the most wonderful man in the world! I am mom of 4 great children! I have had weight issues since I was in kindergarten due to abusive situations(stemming from ritualistic abuse from some other kids). I went through situations which most kids and adults have no concept of. Thes situations left me with some major issues. Weight being the one which is most visible and effects my health the most. From the age of 5 years old onward, I have had weight issues. I have never been able to take weight off consisitently or to maintain any weight loss. I have always been obese.
About four years ago, I tried to do The Atkins Diet to get rid of baby fat. I lost 15 pounds and maintained that weight for quite a while. In January of 2011, I began to gain weight. I had gained up to 270 pounds by August of 2011. A friend of mine had suggested that we start going to the YMCA. I began going with her and lost about 15 pounds. Slowly, I began to gain part of that back. I was still exercising and watching what I ate. I maintained a diet between 1200 - 1500 calories. I worked hard to keep my days below 1500 calories. However, by June 2011, I had gained back up to 265 pounds. I plateaued at 265 and maintained this weight for almost a year. However, I needed a breakthrough or something!
In March 2012, I began a three month foray into learning about a company called Body by Vi. God had to bring three people across my path (actually four) before I actually listened and checked out the company and products. I was amazed at the people I saw(ordinary people like you and me) who within 3, 7 and 14 months of becoming a promoter and doing this Body By Vi program were having amazing results with weight and with their finances! I knew God was calling me to do this, so I found a way and got in. I am now one of those testimonies which I had read about. A testimony to this great product and company. I am 21 pounds lighter and 21 inches smaller!
