CUSTOMER FEEDBACK!!!! The Body By Vi 90-Day Challenge has saved my life! After being in lung failure twice and then having 2 strokes, my body was giving out. I had to have a stint placed in my carotid artery because it was 90% blocked. I was having to take 7 shots of insulin a day to try and control my diabetes,I was taking 26 pills a day for other medical complications and was on oxygen 24/7. I was in a wheelchair and just trying to walk across the room took every ounce of energy I had. The dr. found that I have a birth defect in my spine, causing it to be unstable which causes chronic sciatica. She said I would eventually become paralyzed. I only ate junk food and take-out and had lost all hope. In my mind, I was planning for my funeral, I did not think I would survive long enough to see the birth of my two new grandsons. My children had to help me do a lot of things, even simple things like cooking and cleaning and putting on socks. I was morbidly obese and it was killing me. I had given up hope. I was ashamed and embarrassed to let anyone see me. Then my niece Jackie invited me to a Challenge Party. I mentioned it to my son and he told me if I would take the challenge, he would take it with me. At that moment, my decision to get my life back was made. I signed up at the party and I NEVER looked back. I had never even tried the shakes but I didnt care what they tasted like because I was determined to do this no matter what. The bonus was, I loved the shakes! They are delicious!!I look forward to drinking them. Little by little, I gained energy and strength and the will to push myself a little harder. I lost 6 lbs the first week and I couldnt believe it. I started doing things that I hadnt done for years and years. I had not been able to walk upstairs for 15 years and I was doing it. I started taking small walks. Eventually I started going to the pool. My doctor was impressed with my test results. The shakes are packed with the nutrition that my body had not gotten for years and years. No crazy chemicals or stimulants. Just good nutrition. Now, I am thrilled to say, with the motivation and encouragement of friends and family and my ViFamily, I am down 80 lbs and off of all my insulin! Plus, I have gone from 26 pills/day to 7!!! I now can do 2 hours of water aerobics 3-4 times per week. Ive started doing Krav Maga. I was wearing a 5X and now Im down to an XL. So many wonderful things are happening in my life now. I feel as though I can do anything and I have gained a NO EXCUSES philosophy. I will be starting a new 90-Day Challenge on December 1. My brother-in-law, Gilbert, and I will be training to do a 5K on the last day! Were calling it Wheelchair To 5K! (W25K) I admit, its going to be tough, it may take me a week (lol)but, together, we will make it over that finish line!!
