Back from Convention 2012 in Las Vegas!

I've been back from Shaklee's 56th Annual Global Conference for a couple of weeks now and I have been very busy!! Very exciting things going on in Shaklee that I want to share with you!

This years Global Conference theme was Transformation, of ourselves, and our businesses. The convention was mostly focused on Cinch, with 66% of Americans STILL overweight to obese!! Unfortunately, it's not getting any better, but, fortunately, Shaklee is dedicated to changing those statistics. In order to help us all TRANSFORM ourselves, and our friends & family, the Cinch Transformation Pack special is available again, until November 30, 2012, you can buy 3 months & get the 4th month free!! That's a $299 savings for the best and healthiest way to get to the weight you want to be! AND, you have a chance to win $10,000 just for losing weight and getting healthier!!!! Read Edgars story about how he won $10,000 at the Las Vegas convention. In addition, we will have a new Cinch product available shortly! Cinch Snack Crisps!

Shaklee is also re-vamping our IT dept. and we will have a brand new Shaklee mobile app for iPhone in Sept. and for Droids by October!

And of course, we had a little fun seeing Las Vegas (I only ate 2 m&m's though!!!).

Next years Global Conference will be in Nashville on July 30 - Aug. 4, 2013 - If you want to go to Nashville with us, start planning NOW to attend!

The 2013 Dream Trip is a Southern Caribbean Cruise - Dec. 7-13, 2013. And, the Top Acheivers International Trip is to....drumroll, PARIS, FRANCE!!! With a private tour of The Louvre!!!! Would you like to go on either or both of these trips for FREE? All you have to do is earn them! Please talk to me when you are ready to do the work, which is much more fun than work, but we'd have to start ASAP to be able to earn these trips!

I hope to see you soon and please let me know if you would like to have any more information from the conference, about transforming yourself, or about starting your own healthy Shaklee business so you can earn cars, trips & cash. This is just a little of what Shaklee offers each and every one of us.

At Shaklee, we offer A Healthier Life for Everyone and a Better Life for Anyone^™

Body Mass Index — Is It the Best Measure of Obesity?

Thanks to Jamie McManus, M.D., FAAFP, Chair of Medical Affairs, Health Science, & Education for this post on the Shaklee Blog!  

Body Mass Index — Is It the Best Measure of Obesity?

Health and Freedom

My business really offers only 2 products, Health & Freedom. My story begins almost 32 years ago, but here is the recent version of how I got healthier with the Cinch Inch Loss Plan, and thus began on my journey to FREEDOM!! You, too, can enjoy both health and freedom. You really can have it all, even if it's not in the way we normally think! Who wants to "have it all" by running to work 40+ hours per week and raising a family? That doesn't sound like fun to me!! Working my Shaklee business from the comforts of my own home really is having it ALL! I am currently looking for business partners. If you are interested in changing your life and might want to join me, please contact me. If not, please send this post on to a friend or family member who might be looking for a better life and better health. Thank you and Happy 4th of July! LET FREEDOM RING!

Here's how it works, in a nutshell:

Did you see Jacqui on Exteme Makeover Weight Loss Edition?

Ok, so everyone is talking about Jacqui McCoy on Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition from 6/10/12! Did you see her? What an AMAZING story! Ever since I saw it, I work just a little harder at the gym! When I think I can't do it, I push myself more! She is truly an inspiration!

Just a little FYI, she was raised a Shaklee kid and uses Shaklee products today, as she did throughout her year long journey on the show. And, she had the best blood work of anybody ever on the show going through their process! In just a year, guided by extreme transformation specialist Chris Powell, Jacqui lost 207 pounds - 58% of her total body weight - the highest percentage lost in television history. (I believe the Shaklee products had a lot to do with that.)

Jacqui’s diet and fitness regime were prescribed by her coaches on Extreme Makeover.  Jacqui is also a passionate advocate for Shaklee products and her nutritional needs were supported by her use of Shaklee nutrition, including Shaklee Vitalizer™ and OmegaGuard®.

Another little tidbit, I was on stage in New Orleans in 2008 with her mom, Wanda Hart, for Cinch Top Model!! :) Here's how Jacqui is doing now. 

If you know anyone who wants to lose weight, please remember, I can help them!!!! And I want to help! #cinchspiration

Can a man actually lose weight on Cinch and be satisfied?!

New Cinch Story ~ Sam lost 60#'s!!! Taken from Cinchclub.com success stories.

“Cinch is simple to do, and it gave me the energy I needed to stick with an exercise regimen." Sam says. Sam, 60 pounds healthier* Sam was an avid basketball player until a knee injury put him on the sidelines. Even with surgery, any strenuous weight-bearing exercise was painful, so his activity level dropped. As a consequence, the formerly slim Sam began to gain weight.   After a few years of being heavy, Sam was no longer happy with the way he felt or looked. He decided to try the Cinch® Inch Loss Plan, along with some Shaklee Sports Nutrition™ products. The Cinch Strawberry Shake soon became his favorite because it tasted great and kept him feeling full. Sam says, “Cinch is simple to do, and it gave me the energy I needed to stick with an exercise regimen.” Sam has lost 60 pounds, and is now more active.* He is back to running, and he looks and feels fantastic! *Results not typical. In a preliminary study of the Cinch Inch Loss Plan,  participants on average lost 15.4 pounds in 12 weeks.
