• The average person gains a pound each week over the holiday
• Even small amounts of holiday weight gain are seldom lost
• Two-third of U.S. adults are overweight or obese

Even if you didn’t make a weight loss resolution, it’s OK.  You can still melt away pounds the winter and sport  healthy new Vibe this spring (Hey, just in time for swim suit season!).  But remember – it takes more than desire to make a change.  IT TAKES ACTION.  That’s why you need to take the LSVIBE 30-Day PLEDGE today.

Think of the LSVIBE 30-Day Pledge as the utimate roadmap to weight-loss freedom.  It’s a simple habit-shifting program that shows you exactly how to shift your body and your lifestyle – in just 30 days!

Why do you need the pledge?  Because research shows that people who use willpower alone seldom achieve the results they want.  That’s why having a plan is so important.  If you follow the steps to reach your goal (don’t worry, we’ll lay it all out for you), then there’s no room for failure!

And here’s the icing on the cake:  the LSVIBEPledge is actually fun AND easy to follow!  No counting points or calories, no food journals and NO GOING HUNGRY!

• 6 day a week fresh food plan with one free day
• Simple leading-edge tracking that you can do from anywhere – just answer a few ‘yes or no’ questions each day.  This will track your progress and give you accountability and motivation!
• Choose from two plans depending on your weight loss goals:  Lose a Little or Lose a Lot
• Online dashboard with menu plans, grocery store maps, exercise tips, videos and more
• A culture that empowers you through true education

Maybe you’re thinking, “I’ve tried to lose weight a million times and failed!”  Most likely, that’s because you’re starving yourself and following a plan that doesn’t actually take care of your body.  The 30-day Pledge is different.  It features two amazing products to help you on your journey to permanent weight-loss freedom:  LSVIBE Protein Shakes and Life Shotz!

• Proprietary greens blends (includes super-foods like kale, broccoli and spinach) to boost your nutrition and stave off cravings.
• Complete amino acid profile to help your muscles rebuild after a workout
• Patent pending Zychrome supports healthy insulin level

LIFE SHOTZ: This all-natural nutrition drink comes in the form of a potent powder that you just need to mix with water.  It has all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants your body needs to get in great shape!  Life Shotz is the spark to ignite your weight-loss goals and help you feel and sleep better than you have in ages!

When you take the 30-Day Pledge, you just might find your pounds melting away faster than Frosty the Snowman on a sunny winter day.  So don’t settle for another year of “the same old thing” – complaining about your weight but never doing anything about it.  You can change, and it takes desire AND action!  So take the first step RIGHT NOW and take the 30-Day Pledge!

According to a study by the University of Scranton, the top 10 New Year’s resolutions for 2014 were (and it looks like 2015 trending is very similar).

1. Lose Weight
2. Getting Organized
3. Spend Less, Save More
4. Enjoy Life to the Fullest
5. Staying Fit and Healthy
6. Learn Something Exciting
7. Quit Smoking
8. Help Others in Achieving their Dream
9. Fall in Love
10. Spend More Time with Family

Our journey  with Life Shotz has enabled us to exceed our 2014 goals in many of these areas and we are excited about the coming year.  For this newsletter we will focus on some of our thoughts/updates on a few of our 2014 Resolutions with more to come in future newsletters:

Losing weight is the most popular New Year’s resolution, however over 90% of dieters gain back all their weight within one to five years.  One third of dieters actually gain weight and only about 8% of people are able to make their resolutions stick.  There IS an easier way that’s not about dieting and here’s the kicker….it actually works and is one of the reasons we love Life Shotz and LS Vibe so much…more about that later…

We are healthier than we have been in many years and have a plan in place for 2015 to be even more so.  Regretfully less than half of American’s are willing to do much to achieve it, especially as we get older. In the US, 1 in 1.7 adults 18-24 get the recommended amount of exercise a week and the odds drop as people get older, to 1 in 1.9 of those 25 to 34, 1 in 2 for those 35 to 64 and 1 in 2.5 for those 65 and older.  Jeff has a family history of high cholesterol and the changes he has made with diet, daily Life Shotz/LS Vibe  and exercise have brought it down into the normal range (Doctor wanted Jeff to take prescription medication).   From a tennis perspective Jeff also has his highest Super Senior rankings in 2014 on both a state and national level (#2 in Texas and #14 Nationally).  It was his last year in his current age division which makes it even more remarkable. Jeff has a routine when competing that incorporates both Life Shotz and LS Vibe and would be glad to share.

The weather outside is frightful – and so are those extra pounds you packed on over the holidays! From gallons of eggnog to tubs of tasty cookies, the sweets were certainly hard to resist.  Not one to play favorites, you also gave your fair share of attention to salty, fried foods and creamy, fat-laden dips.

If you’re feeling down – and a little too full – from all your favorite gorging, you’re not alone.
