And the Venus Transformation Contest VT12 Winners are…

December 8, 2014 by Roberta Saum 1 Comment

There is a bigger story behind all of these transformations.
The 12 week contest only shows the small window of time at the end of their transformation.

Before I announce the winners of the 12th Venus Transformation contest it’s important to note that what you see for the contest is merely the last 12 weeks of a long transformation for all of these women.

What makes our contests unique is that they are not fat loss at all contests. The focus of our program is to learn a sustainable healthy lifestyle. That is why it is important for so many to stay active in our private online community for women only.

Our program is designed to build your best female shape while losing weight at the best rate for yourself. For many women that might only be 10-20 pounds in 12 weeks. Our program is designed to help women keep their hormones stable while sustainably losing fat and building muscle tone.

In the weeks ahead you will have the chance to see and hear the bigger story for all of these new Venus winners.

Alright then, on with the announcement so many have been waiting for:

First place – Pamela

There are so many things I have learned along the way these last 12 weeks. I was a holier than thou, super judgemental, food snob who needed to relax, stop reading everything regarding health and fitness and just make it happen. Venus put me on the right path. The one I've wanted now for so, so long. I finally feel like I've got the magic ticket to life long health and fitness. There were a few stumble forwards along the way just like I had heard on so many of the podcasts. But that is life- it's never just all smooth sailing.

There were a few stumble forwards along the way just like I had heard on so many of the podcasts.
But that is life- it’s never just all smooth sailing.

Second place – Sharon

Since I’ve started, I’ve actually inspired others, most importantly, my 18 year old daughter and that is soooo exciting for me! ME, an almost 49 year old, in menopause and a mom of an adult…an inspiration to others? Wow!!!! I weigh less now than when I was 29 and
I’m positive I have more muscle now than I did then!

Third place – Leah

The best part is I have reached results in my weight and physique that I didn’t even think or dare to dream of having at this stage in life. I have surpassed my “ideal” weight I thought I wanted and I fit smaller sized clothing than I can even remember. Ultimately, I feel more geared up for success in every area of my life after accomplishing this goal. If I can do this, I can do anything! Thank you Venus Factor and to all the Venus’, I am a changed woman!!

Fourth place – Patty

This has been a very difficult and rewarding process. I have learned a lot and must say that I was ready to throw in the towel when I got such wonderful support from my Venus friend Pam that convinced me to not give up but be proud of what I have already worked hard for. The Venus community is a community of great people that all want to achieve the same goal and go through the same ups and downs. I am looking forward to continue on and keep up the hard work. This has been a wonderful change in my life.

Fifth place – Kat

I found Venus in the middle of April 2014. It is November 23rd today. During that time I have lost 39 pounds and went from a size 14 to size 6. I haven’t been in that good of a shape and size ever. The last time I weighed 121lbs was when I was 14. Through Venus I learned to enjoy life and enjoy food again. I will continue with the Venus principles for the rest of my life. I hit my gym 3 times a week consistently and I work hard and lift heavy.

Sixth place – Sylvie

Venus Factor provided support that I needed, when I needed it. I found a very high quality material, from the Web site, to the App. The user blog can be a good source of motivation; the podcasts are literally a mine of information and the discussions between Brad and John are so interesting to listen to. If I had an advice to give to a woman who wants to take her health in hand it’s this one : give you a chance to succeed, don’t ever give up; believe in you, you worth it.

Seventh place – Wendy

I have been so impressed with my Phase I results that I finally broke down and purchased immersion. I don’t really have a penny to spare but I certainly believe that you truly do get what you pay for, and to me this is the best investment I can make in myself, in my future!
So, let’s do this, on to the next level, on to the next Phase. Just BRING IT!

Eighth place – Sheralyn

I have tried many diets that failed. Venus is so successful for me for many reasons; first you have so many people going through the same struggles, but we all share an learn from each other. Second, it fit so well with my life style. You can really live a normal life without having to deprive yourself of one of the simple pleasures in life, enjoying good food with family and friends. Another reason I love the Venus program is that this is the only diet that I have been on that give you more tools to loose and maintain weight, not just the bathroom scale. You have a tape measure, a mirror, a camera, and your clothes to help you see that you are looking better not just a number on a scale. With these tools you can reach mini goals to help you reach your ultimate goal. SUCCESS!!!

Ninth place – Elizabeth

I immediately started to lose weight with Venus in April, 2014. In less than a week my clothes started to feel looser. I found many tools for loosing weight that I can use according my needs and my social calendar. This is what I love most about Venus: it is 100% flexible. I live in Asia, where the constant social events are all about food, and to not eat is culturally offensive. In the past I did not know how to navigate this. Now I participate in eating with everyone and I am still loosing weight. The concept of budgeting my calories makes a lot of sense to me. I budget my money – why wouldn’t I count and budget my calories as well?

Tenth place – Jenia

They say you are what you eat, right? Well I think the Venus ladies are what we DON’T eat. It’s a way of life, a mentality that will stick with me for the rest of my life. It’s really a life changing program, if you allow it to be. It’s something I totally fell into at the click of a mouse, and I am so happy I did. I am the fittest I have ever been in my life, even better now than my teenage years. I’m loving the new Venus me. My new standard is not ordinary, it’s extraordinary; I am Venus forevermore. Thank you all so much for creating such a wonderful and workable program!

Our Cover Model for this contest is Sue

A new Venus Kool Kat; Meet Katharina

November 14, 2014 by Roberta Saum Leave a Comment

Kat went from a size 14 to a size 6 and has lost more than 36lbs since April.

Different things work for different people

She goes by Kat and she is one of our newest successful Venus stories. Kat and I met behind the scenes within the Venus online community and in our Venus Live Internet Chat tool. We quickly hit it off and became friends on FaceBook. Like many of our Venus customers Kat didn’t feel like she had time for an online community.

She joined our transformation contest and quickly felt like she was pushing too hard and that it was not sustainable. For some people it’s good choice to focus on a sustainable process instead of a contest. Although both the online community and the contest are good tools for motivation; they are not required for success.

As most of us learn; we are all different and yet the same. We all have to experiment a bit to find what works for us. The one thing that is the same is that if we became over weight it was because of too much food. Finding the right energy balance for fat loss for each individual is unique. So is finding the right foods.

Kat and I share a love for organic foods so she
brought me gifts from her garden.

The Venus tools are what gave Kat a new life

Venus helped Kat realize that she had too many good food and bad food restrictions. The tools helped her learn that her all organic food was simply too much food for her. Once she found the correct energy balance for her own needs everything clicked.

It’s been fun for me getting to know Kat because she lives in my old stomping grounds where I graduated from high school. She also learned to love a style of organic eating that I also followed. We both learned many of the same lessons about food. She goes hiking along the beaches of Northern California where I grew up. Her husband owns a business in the town where I once owned a house. We share a lot in common.

Kat loves to lift weights and exercise. She came to visit me a few days ago and we shared a workout with my coach Miles Cortez. We had all had a blast. Kat took Miles and I out to coffee after our workout. We all spent hours talking about how much we all love the persistent lifestyle of eating within our means and exercising for our health. We all share a passion for the lifestyle. It was a beautiful day.

Kat said one of the biggest keys to her success was the immersion program. She absolutely loved the uncensored podcasts. There are times she felt like reverting back to old habits and eating more food than she needs. The podcasts helped her get past all that. She listened to one after another. She said they were a lifesaver for her.

Kat’s world changed when she came across Venus Index.

Kat’s world changed when she came across the Venus Factor.

Here’s what Kat wrote to me in her own words:

Hi Roberta,

I first came to the US in 1995 as an exchange student. I stayed for a year and went back to Germany to finish my high school. The day after I got my German High school diploma I was on a plane back to the US to try my luck into getting to live here.

In April 2000 I met my husband trying to sell his business a website template. Never sold a single one, but we started dating and got married in 2003.

My husband owns Jake’s Performance Hobbies in Rohnert Park, a local hobby shop, selling radio controlled cars, airplanes, etc.

Once a week I do the bookkeeping for him, the other time I am a stay at home mom.

I come from Karlsruhe in Germany. It is South West on the Rhein river close to the Black Forest.

I like about America that I can do whatever I want and no one minds 🙂 I like how open and friendly Americans are (in comparison to Germans). I dont do well with people telling me what to do or how to do things 😉 Americans are also less judgmental and easy going. It really fits my mentality a lot better.

I went to a holistic nutrition school to become a Nutrition Educator, then I got my certificate as a Nutrition Consultants from the American Association of Nutrition Consultants, an online course.

Venus not only helped me, but saved my life. It freed me from labeling my foods as bad and good and therefore labeling myself as being bad or good depending on what I was eating. It freed me from yo-yo dieting and let me enjoy life and my body and finally love myself.

I do love Venus as a lifestyle. My motto is progress and not perfection! I love that Venus has given me all the tools to be in the shape I always wanted to be and better. It talks about so many aspects that are vital to successful weight loss that other programs don’t even touch upon.

I want to jump up and down and give everyone at Venus a big hug, especially John, Brad and you! You have no idea how much you have changed my life and the freedom you have given me! I am soaring right now. I am so happy and grateful! I will continue with the Venus principles for the rest of my life. I cant imagine anything better.

I will send you some pictures later….

Love,

Kat

This month Kat was featured in a newsletter success story

Kat is one tough chick for sure!

Kat’s been following what I’m doing on FaceBook so when we were setting up a time to visit she made it very clear that she wanted a workout with me and Miles. One thing both Miles and I noticed was that Kat loves to work hard! We had so much fun working out at the gym. Like the Anytime fitness author said “This tough chick deserves a big high five the next time you see her!” We did a lot of high fives at the gym during our workout.

Here is Kat, Miles, and me; Kat like to work hard
and we all did lots of high fives at the gym!

Like Kat, Venus has changed my life for good. It is the very reason I’m living my dream today. Coach Miles has helped me take that farther and even get a trophy recently, but that’s all a story for another time. Today is all about Kat. Miles is a coach that found freedom from food restrictions with Eat Stop Eat and we all share a common bond and a common lifestyle. It’s awesome to find other coaches embracing the truth about food and willing to leave old school myths behind. It is pretty exciting and we are all thankful to Brad Pilon and John Barban.

Here’s a little video of us having a blast at the gym:

I hope you enjoyed Kat’s success story as much as I have.

Have a great weekend, full of opportunity to make great choices!

-Coach Roberta
