Lisa: Strong

This is the halfway mark for our A New Way to a New You participants. Six weeks down and six weeks to go. We asked each of them to share one word that describes their current state of mind and what they hope that word will be after the next six weeks. Lisa's word is STRONG.

I feel strong because the experience of these first six weeks has helped me to move forward to a lifetime of optimal health. I have an amazing team of family, friends, A New Way to a New You team members, and A New Way to a New You support with me and teaching me.

I have learned so much about my health, fitness, food, exercise and more. I put it into practice every day. I am stronger today than six weeks ago - physically and emotionally. I am able to make decisions and take action when I would have caved in the past.

My attitude about exercise has evolved 180 degrees - I look forward to exercising and how great I feel about my accomplishments both physically and emotionally. It is a tremendous achievement for me. Following the 4-3-2-1 and Trim Body System plans have been critical. I have a plan that is credible and simple; products that are delicious and effective - and they work for me! I am a winner by all accounts! :)

My goal now is to finish the next six weeks stronger in all areas! My word at the end of the next six weeks will be CONFIDENT. Confident in myself, my health and fitness, and my ability to inspire and share with others.

Welcome!

Welcome to A New Way to a New You! This is a blog about seven people who are trying to change their lives, one bite and one step at a time.

They were brought together to participate in the 12-week A New Way to a New You program developed by NUTRILITE®, the world’s leading brand of vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements. The program is designed to help people lose pounds and inches in a safe, healthy way.

It's a chance to focus on nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and overall health, with the ultimate goal of making lasting lifestyle changes so that the participants’ battle with weight will be their last. The seven people selected are people just like you, with demanding jobs, families, and commitments, but they’ve pledged to fully commit to the plan set before them.

They've been on the program for about four weeks, and will continue for another eight weeks. They're following recipes and meal plans developed in accordance with the nutritional guidelines of the Nutrilite Health Institute, working out with an exercise plan developed by Sean Foy, Lead Fitness Consultant for the Nutrilite Center for Optimal Health, and using NUTRILITE supplements to complement their eating plans and further their weight-loss goals. You can follow along at home by using the NUTRILITE Trim Body System.

So, without further ado, take a minute to meet the seven brave souls who have agreed to share their weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey with you! Meet Carmen, Dorothy, Holly, Lisa, Liz, Marshall, and Matt by checking out their profile pages and "before" videos on the navigation to the right. Stay tuned this week and next as we show you how their first week on the program went and follow along for the rest of their experience.
