Weight Loss Camp: Family Makes Losing Weight Priority, Pound By Pound - ABC News

Happy New Year!

I just watched the Nightline segment on the Weight Loss Camp and here is my take on it.

Nightline Fact: 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese which means that only 1/3 of Americans are NOT overweight!

Ok, so this woman spends $7900 on her credit card for 2 weeks so her and her son can learn everything that Cinch also teaches: 10,000 steps a day, record your food to become aware of what you are eating, more exercise, etc. They could have BOTH lost 100# over a years time for that same money and learned the same things with Cinch. Actually, learned better things because these people at the camp use artificial sweeteners in their program!!!! The clients are left to their own to go shopping ~ while looking for food items with low fat and low calories, they were choosing things with artificial flavors, sweeteners and probably preservatives. These come with their own sets of health problems, either now, or later in life! I called them "things" because some of it is not even food, just things made to look like food.

My two problems with this program are the added credit card debt and the artificial ingredients. Neither of those represent real health. Don't get me wrong, otherwise this program looks good and is a good jump start, but for the same money, Cinch is 100% Natural, and easier to follow, because after 2 weeks you would not be left to your own to find what to eat. It's all included in the plan! You learn the same things that people who attend this camp are paying a LOT of money for!

Many people will be trying to lose weight this year and there are some good plans out there but MOST are NOT healthy or good for you. I'm so glad I found one that is and I'm so glad I don't have to have a resolution to lose weight anymore, thanks to Cinch! Here is my story. I have kept it off just shy of 3 years now and that is with an Achilles injury where I could not walk or run for 9 months in 2009!!

My congrats to the mother and son as they are continuing their weight loss. I hope they keep it up. Weight Loss Camp: Family Makes Losing Weight Priority, Pound By Pound - ABC News

Dr. Oz recommends USP seal?????

Ok, I must be honest, yesterday, after Dr. Oz told us not to buy a product that did not pay for the USP seal on their vitamins, I was thinking....well, I know that Shaklee vitamins are pure, safe, effective AND, proven to be so, so why would we need that seal? We do 100,000 tests per year on our own products (including third party testing), nobody else does that. Watch this short video to learn about the Shaklee Difference.

Then, just as I usually do when I hear about another product or something concerning nutritional supplements, I started to do my own research (like I believe anyone putting anything into their body should do) so I went to the USP's website myself. When I found this line, one of their very strict criteria: "does not contain harmful levels of specified contaminants", I realized that Shaklee doesn't need this seal because we are BETTER than that! They allow contaminants (we do not!) as long as they are within FDA guidelines! That's all I needed to know. Shaklee is still, and probably always will be, the best natural supplements money can buy, seal or no seal!

Here is a recent quote from our President and CEO, Roger Barnett: "In fact, Shaklee is the only company in the WORLD that has proof of what our products can do over a 20 year period of time, to help people stay healthy, with patented natural products."

Nuf said! :)

Dr. Oz Show ~ BUYER BEWARE when it come to Health Claims!

I LOVED the Dr. Oz show today and I just want to say I agree, except for one small part. Anyway, please do your research when purchasing your health products! Go with a reputable company who has PROOF that their products work and are safe. After all, you are putting them in YOUR body, not to mention spending YOUR hard earned money! Please don't take something that might hurt you, or is a SCAM, or at the very least, doesn't work at all, just because you are in a hurry or pulled in by a fake ad! BUYER BEWARE!

Thank God the products I use are ALWAYS SAFE, ALWAYS WORK and are ALWAYS GREEN! 100% PROVEN and GUARANTEED for 53 years! You can't beat that, and that is why I use Shaklee and only Shaklee. And that is my REAL picture and here is my REAL success story!!!

Chase Communtiy Giving ~ Vote for your favorite Charity

Chase Community Giving is donating $5,000,000.00 to charities around the USA. Facebook users are voting for the recipients! I just voted for the charity, Shaklee Cares. Shaklee Cares was founded after the devastation of Hurricane Andrew to address the needs of families and communities struggling to recover from a natural disaster or emergency. Shaklee Cares partners with other nonprofits such as Habitat For Humanity, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Hands On New Orleans, and others, for work in disaster areas. Vote for your favorite charity, too! You can vote for up to 20 charities!

Avoid Holiday Weight Gain!

Wishing you a Happy & Healthy Holiday Season!!! 

If you eat too much (or if you just want to get a jump on your resolutions!), remember you can lose 5-10#'s with Cinch before the New Year, if you start NOW!!! And it tastes mmmmm so good!

Another suggestion, drink Cinch Shakes for 2 of your meals on Thanksgiving, and every day after that that you have a party to attend or may be tempted to overeat, so you won't feel so bad (stuffed) when you eat what you want at the dinner or the party! Try a little bit of everything, not a lot of anything. It's about portion control.

Then move around, go outside and play games with the kids, get up and WALK, do something besides sit on the couch watching football! Take a few people outside with you to get moving, and then get in there and help clean the kitchen when you return from your walk or run!

Need more help, just ask! I lost 25# from Aug. to Feb. '06 and have kept it off for almost 3 years. If I can do it over the holidays, SO CAN YOU!

Couples getting sick together ~ Dr. Oz show

I have to take a moment to write about Dr. Oz again. I LOVE watching the new Dr. Oz show. Tonight I just finished last Friday's show about couples who keep getting each other sick and I just kept thinking: I wish they all knew that if you take Shaklee vitamins you hardly ever get sick! I wish people knew that, and of course, I'm on a mission to let everyone know that, that I possibly can. After seeing the show I'm also thinking, we can keep 2 people well here!!!!! I know of hundreds, if not thousands, of people who use Shaklee natural nutritional supplements who just do not get sick anymore. It's amazing. Watch this short video to see why we stay generally healthier.

Prevention using Vitalizer can save $1 Trillion in health-care costs!!

From the cover of Time Magazine June 22, 2009: It's all about Prevention. The first step toward containing health-care costs is to avoid getting sick.

Using our Landmark Study, Shaklee did a projection, and found that if everyone in America just took a Vitalizer everyday, it would save our country $1 TRILLION in health care costs!!! WOW! Take a look at this President Obama and all of you in government trying to fix this health care problem! The answer is PREVENTION!

Over 90% of all health care expenditures are spent on the last 6 months of life and we can no longer afford to do that! Let's do something about it now! Practice prevention yourself, and tell everyone you know and love!

The Vitamin D Pandemic and its Health Consequences

Vitamin D3 deficiency and Fibromyalgia, Bone/Hip Fractures, Cancer, Type I Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Psoriasis and much, much, much more! This is an AMAZING presentation!

Vitamin D3 the most important Vitamin ~ Dr. Oz knows I am not getting enough?

Ok, I love Dr. Oz as much as anyone but tonight he closed show with his usual Drs. orders, saying that Vitamin D3 is the most important vitamin and "I know you're not getting enough of it." Well, Dr. Oz, it may be the most important vitamin we need and I might agree with you. I have been posting about how important vitamin D3 is since I started this blog, but I've got news for you ~ I am, and thankfully have been for many years, getting enough vitamin D3 in my daily routine because I take the right supplements from the right company, the one that knows what they are doing with nutrition!!!

In my usual normal day of taking Vitalizer Gold, Osteo-matrix and just one Cinch shake per day, I am getting at least 1600mg. of vitamin D3 per day!!!! I say "at least" because I did not count the vitamin D3 in the Cinch shakes (sometimes I have 2 of those a day to keep my 25# and 27.5" off that I lost with Cinch!)

So, as much as I love you, Dr. Oz, and agree with most everything on your show, I really wish you would steer people to the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the U.S., the one who has the clinical research, the ONLY company with over 100 scientific papers with 90 of them published inpeer-reviewed scientific journals. I know, you cannot advertise any specific company but I still find that frustrating because as smart as you are for what you do, I hope you know which brand to use for yourself and I wish you would share that with the world! There really is a difference in brands and we really DO change lives with our products, they are not just vitamins.

If you've read this far, please just keep reading more of my posts in this blog and in my resveratrol blog for overwhelming evidence of the difference these products can make in your life and the lives of your loved ones. I know they have in mine, in my families, and in countless numbers of my friends lives.

So, Dr. Oz, I'm sorry to say, but please do not tell me I am not getting what I need!!!! I am, and have been for 30 years! Not just in vitamin D3, but in every nutrient I need! The proof is in the pudding ~ my blood work is PERFECT, I feel great, my dentist says I have "beautiful gums" and my chiropractor says I have "great bones." I'm happy!! And extremely grateful that someone told me about Shaklee when I was in my early 20's so I could be as healthy as I am today, now and forever!

Post - Polio Syndrome (PPS) and other Shaklee Health Stories

Another success story came my way tonight....my friend, Joe has Post Polio Syndrome (PPS). He has been taking Vitalizer, Vivix and Nutriferon for more than one year. He added Cor Energy about a month ago. Joe's dark circles under his eyes are lightening, at least 6 moles/skin tags have fallen off, Cardio C-ReactiveProtein (CRP) and Homocysteine levels are much better. And, he has smoother softer skin and more mental energy!! We are literally changing lives with Shaklee products! Since starting Cor Energy about one month ago he says he feels his brain and nervous system have been stimulated as well! Muscles next? We hope so! I firmly believe if Joe would add 1 or 2 Cinch Shakes to his daily routine, his muscles would also be improving. The Cinch shakes are proven to retain muscle mass, which we ALL need!

I also want to mention that prior to Shaklee, Joe had been researching and using "other brands" for years, thoroughly convinced that he was taking the best possible nutritional products that money could buy, yet Shaklee is now changing his life! Changing brands really can change YOUR life, too. You can find the products he is taking here & here.

Please visit my FB page to read more Shaklee Health Success Stories. If you have your own story, please add it to this post or to the Facebook discussion board. Thanks so much!

At Shaklee, "Creating Healthier Lives" is not just a slogan. Changing brands really can change your life!!!

10/1/09: Today Joe told me that recently 3 people have told him he's looking better, and one of them was an MD!!!! Not his doctor, but an acquaintance.

10/21/09: I forgot to mention with the "season" upon us, Joe lives in an assisted living facility, where everyone gets sick and passes it around often to each other. Since starting Shaklee last year, Joe has NOT gotten sick! The winter of 2007 - 2008, before Shaklee, he was sick almost the entire season!

11/30/09: Joe gets his first cold in over 1 1/2 years. It was mild and lasted only 3 days, nothing like the last time he had colds...the entire winter.
