Getting Into The Best Shape Of Your Life Does Not Have To Be Hard!

From being a few pounds overweight to being medically obese the decision to start on the path to health is yours,  no one else can make the decision but you. 
A few weeks ago a guy called Nicolas Morrello opened up his heart and his soul on YouTube and asked for help. 

He was over 700lbs and being overweight had drastically reduced his way of life. He had aches and pains of someone three times his age, he had diabetes, high blood pressure, various infections all to do with being overweight. He had tried dieting before, but it never had the right support. Therefore always ended up back on the fast food wagon and unhealthy eating.
Aged 28, he wanted to live longer than the next five years that may have been predicted for his life expectancy if he kept going the way he was going, but Visalus sciences stepped up and kept their word to help fight obesity across the globe. 


They are now sponsoring Nick to help him with his weight loss. It will take time. It will take courage. It will take some short-term pain to see the long-term gain.  The VI family is behind Nick 100% in his fight to lose weight to save his life. 



You can watch Nicholas's original plea click here

Your turn, leave me a comment if you can sympathise with Nick.  So many people are seeing amazing differences in their lives by dropping pounds.  Join us by clicking the submit button below.

10 Reasons To Lose 10lbs with Body By Vi

By entering Project 10 you not only have the opportunity to win $1,000 (£600) every week and receive an ‘i LOST it’ t-shirt, but most importantly you have the opportunity to better your life and overall health. 

Here are 10 reasons to lose 10 pounds on the Body by Vi Challenge.


  1. BETTER SLEEP – Losing 10 lbs. can widen your windpipe so you won’t snore like a lawnmower
  2. BETTER SEX – Losing weight can spice up your sex life big time! Erectile Dysfunction is literally a downer—and it’s a problem for 80% of overweight/obese men. YES, 80%!
  3. MORE SELF CONFIDENCE – Just wait ‘til you see what happens when you start loving what’s in the mirror
  4. MORE ENERGY – When your body is healthy, it radiates energy. Imagine how happy your kids would be to play with you longer!
  5. BETTER MOOD – When you’re happier with yourself, you’re happier with life. And wouldn’t that make your Significant Other happy!?
  6. HEALTH – Losing weight reduces your risk of life-threatening illnesses such as diabetes
  7. AGILITY – You’ll improve your mobility when you drop weight, putting less pressure on your joints and making it easier to exercise. I know you want less pain every day!
  8. BRAIN – Tests have shown that overweight people score lower on memory tests. Don’t you want to remember stuff?
  9. PREGNANCY – Excess weight can alter hormones making it difficult for women to get pregnant
  10. MONEY – Research has shown that people who weigh more earn up to $10,000 less per year than their co-workers. Super unfair – If you’re earning $10K less, let it be because you’re not that great at your job!

Make sure to check out Challenge.com where you can see thousands of people’s current and past Challenge’s and learn about what worked (and what didn’t) as you strive to lose 10+ pounds.

10 Top Tips To Lose 10lbs on the Challenge

4.       Eat clean

8.       Don’t do it alone

Studies show if you enroll in a weight-loss (health & fitness) program with three friends or colleagues you already know, the odds of maintaining your weight loss 10 months later goes up to 66%… versus 24% if you enroll in a program alone. That’s why ViSalus rewards people who take The Challenge with others with the 3 for FREE program.

Supplement your diet with quality vitamins like the ViSalus Vi-pak or vitamin-rich products like Nutra-Cookie.

10.   Don’t forget fiber

Since fiber increases feelings of fullness or satiety, adding 10 grams of fiber a week can decrease overall calorie intake and help you lose weight.

Signs That Your Losing Weight

As a nutritionist I have known customers who have lost a little bit of weight, then seem to put weight on. 

Why is this?

There are a number of reasons. One being that if you lose body fat you will see the weight going down, and as you gain lean muscle you'll see your way to go up. 

Lean muscle actually burns more fat so therefore in the long run you will see inches come off. 

So don't be alarmed

Read the following post below

The following post is taken from The Visalus blog site, and explains it very well some signs that you're losing weight. 

There are obvious signs that you’re losing weight and there are some more subtle signs that your body is on its’ way to becoming what you’ve been working so hard for.

Here are a few signs that you’re on the right track to accomplishing your weight loss goals:

Man Jogging on Open RoadIncreased Energy

When you’re eating healthy and consuming foods that are properly fueling your body you’re likely to notice a boost in energy that you probably didn’t have before. It might be easier to wake up in the morning or you could just have extra energy in day-to-day tasks that you previously didn’t have. This is a perfect example of how you know you’re on your way to a healthier life, even if the scale doesn’t reflect it.

Improved Mood

When you look good you often feel good. That may seem extremely basic, but it it’s true. Waking up in the morning and seeing yourself looking better than the day before is a truly incredible feeling- yes, you may not say it day to day, but you can likely see it week to week. This increased confidence in your appearance will have a great effect on your overall mood.

Changing Body StructureChanging Body Shape

This one is a bit obvious, but weight loss doesn’t always occur in the areas you would think it does. While fat is likely to come off the stomach, thighs and buttocks initially, keep track- even measurements- so you can see how your overall body is changing. Remember, you may want to lose weight specifically in the waist area but with that weight loss you’re likely to also so weight loss in other areas. In addition, take a look at your old clothes and see how they fit… you might be surprised with what you find out!

Increased Sex Drive

Losing weight improves your blood circulation and stamina, which can directly have an affect on your libido as the pounds start to come off. That, paired with additional self-confidence, is likely to increase your overall sex drive.

As you continue on your journey to weight loss, make sure to look past the scale and see all the ways that The Challenge is improving your life.

Letter from ViSalus CEO Ryan Blair



Below is a letter from ViSalus CEO Ryan Blair which touches on the fight against obesity, sticking with your resolutions and becoming the best possible version of you through the Body by Vi Challenge.
“If you’re like so many of us living in North America, you kicked off the year by making a New Year’s Resolution. Maybe you promised yourself to make your health a priority this year. Maybe you set a goal to lose weight.
At ViSalus, we set a goal too, A Big One. We’re on a mission to fight obesity.
Over 232 million adults in the U.S. and Canada alone are overweight or obese. It’s a growing epidemic that is threatening the health and future of our world. But you can take action right now to help fight this battle and set a positive example.
ryan-blair-visalus-ceo
These resources (The Challenge Magazine and ViSalus Blog amongst others) are designed to help you do just that. It’s about looking in the mirror and taking on your own personal health Challenge. Really committing yourself, committing to a goal and becoming the best possible version of You.
You may have heard stories of motivated individuals just like you- from Brian LeQue in Eau Claire, WI who dropped 76 pounds to Raylene Lynas from the London, Ontario who competed in her first Extreme Warrior Challenge.
Whether you want to lose weight, run a marathon or get in better shape, you’ll find plenty of inspiration on ViSalus Blog, The Challenge Magazine and social platforms across the Internet where people share The Challenge.

Lose The Emotional Baggage If You Want To Lose Weight

I have been working with clients who want to lose weight for over ten years now, and what I see is that it's not just about eating sensibly, or going on a diet. You have to look deeper than that.

Alot of people put on weight over a long period of time, then it is only when something enlightening crosses their path, for example illness, hearing of a friend who is affected by being overweight that people tend to look at themselves.

When you make that emotional decision to lose weight, to improve your health, it is the first step on a long road to mental wellbeing and weightloss success.

Understanding what your emotional and food triggers are also help to keep you on track. This is where having a good weightloss coach can help you.

As much as we try to lose weight on our own, it's hard, and there will be days when you struggle to eat anything healthy at all.

Having someone who you are accountable to helps. It is also encouraging for you to hear others struggle and how they got over their barriers, stories inspire,so it is important to share your own.

Having emotional baggage can impinge on your weightloss success, so you need to find a way to ease and release your emotional baggage and using self affirmations can help.

So if you are dieting but keep having false starts, look deeper than just trying out the diet. You have to have an end goal in mind.

The Body By Vi Challenge gives you the grounding for setting yourself a goal broken downing 90 day chunks, so that it is achievable.

You are also asked to declare your challenge to others, making yourselves accountable,

You are then encouraged to track your progress and enter a competition to win some money to put towards a new wardrobe! We could all do with some new clothes when we lose weight right.

You get support from fellow challengers and you are also encouraged to share your experiences, ideas, shakes, exercises, thoughts and to encourage others on our Facebook page.

It's called 'The Challenge' because its not easy, if it was then everyone would be dropping weight like bees in a honey pot!

The Challenge, challenges you to achieve and complete your 90 day aim and be rewarded by it. 

So, if you are serious and want to fight your way back to fitness, challenge yourself and clicking the link below.

To your dieting success!
