X- Coach Liss
I’ve coined the name “Miss Consistency” for Miss Stacy here for a reason. She is relentless. Ever since I met her at the end of last year she has pushed through adversity, injuries, and set backs. She has posted on Instagram daily to help keep her Venus sisters motivated. Her name there is Seriously.Stacy and yes that fits too!
If you are on Instagram and want motivation from a Venus sister who is the real deal, go follow Stacy @seriously.stacy there.
She is part of the Venus Factor Workout Accountability Group with these other Venus leaders in the group. She leads the pack. But not only that, she brings others along with her.
These are all real Venus leaders who help encourage others daily.
Kathy, Carey, Jen, Lisa, Stacy, Dewina, and Brenda are among the leaders helping others, and there are many more, ready walk aside any Venus lady who wants to come along.
They and many others have decided to start a mini challenge in the group where anyone who wants to participate or “Shadow” the next Venus contest will chip in for a final prize. You do not have to actually be in the Venus contest to join the mini challenge. Or you can do both. All anyone in the community wants is for you to WIN at this game of life. The VT19 winners participated in the group.
Women empowering other women. That’s how they do it.
Here is Stacy talking about her winning strategy at being consistent and her relentless mindset:

And it is important to note this is merely a 12 week window in the journey of all these women. They all have a much bigger story to tell.
“I found Venus Factor on December 1st, the same day I discovered Roberta Saum. I didn’t fully dig in until January 1st, 2017. The contest came up and I thought, What Am I Waiting For? I looked forward to the workouts each and every day. Everyday I woke up, showed up and never gave up. I didn’t know what I was capable of until I tried. Most importantly, I realize this is where I belong. I finally have found what I have been searching for. Venus is indeed the game changer.”
“Thanks to the Venus program I’ve lost more than 60 pounds and most importantly I’ve learned how to keep this new Venus body I’ve grown to love. One of my favorite things about the Venus program is the flexibility and the freedom to eat the foods I like, in moderation, without feeling guilty. This program taught me how to live a healthy lifestyle and still have a life. Thanks Venus for putting me back in the driver’s seat!”
“I have much improved BALANCE! All this is new and with the consistency, a regular habit now. I enjoy moving rather than watching TV. I LOVED the podcasts and listened to them daily for about 8 weeks. I occasionally went into the community to read posts. I am not one to post myself but ventured out once in introductions and met Roberta. Then followed her on facebook…again, not posting but reading every morsel of her wisdom. I am feeling much better. People are noticing and commenting! I am making this my LIFESTYLE!! I think this is “IT”!! Thank you!”
“People could definitely see me slimming up and started asking about how we did it. We would tell everyone about Venus and Adonis. I feel so much better about myself and how my clothes fit. It was really amazing to see the “before” pictures when I went to post my “after” photos. I knew I had changed, but wow! I’ll definitely keep at it this time. I really love the workouts. Although truth be told, I hate the lunges and squats and love the arm exercises so it’s just discipline and my type-A personality that keeps me sane. My husband and I are both in the best shape we’ve ever been in and eating very healthy.”
“This is just a beginning for me. Though my loss is not great, I am grateful for the change. The venus workouts are great, along with Roberta Saum and the facebook accountability group that has really kept me going. I am looking forward to the next contest, but even more so to keep going and changing how I eat and workout. If theres one thing I’ve learned, is that I HAVE to change the way I eat!!!”
“When I first started with the Venus Factor, I thought to myself that it was going to be too easy and not challenge me enough. How wrong I was! Not only were the workouts challenging but the support I received through Roberta Saum’s FaceBook support group encouraged me to continue on when I wanted to give up. Although we are ending this particular contest, my journey is far from over. I am happy to have made it this far and look forward to how much more I can accomplish with Venus Systems. Thank you!”
“I have learned to treat this as a journey and a lifestyle! I will step up my game when I need to, but I also live my life in balance. I have seen small changes in my body for this contest, but the mental and emotional changes are what really excites me. I will not stop. I will live this life as a strong, beautiful unique woman. I will make healthy choices to eat less and fuel my body. I will press myself in my workouts and see what this body can do. One of my favorite quotes is “You will never always be motivated, you have to learn to be disciplined.” “
“My name is Dewina and I turned 52 years old during this contest. I’m so thankful for this program because anyone can do it. it doesn’t matter what your age is or your fitness level. My husband actually found this program a few years ago when he purchased the Adonis program. I looked at it and after reading Roberta’s story I decided to go ahead and purchase it. I know with what I have learned and what I continue to learn I will be able to accomplish my goals and be the best version of myself that I can be. So I just want to say thank you for creating such a great program that is sustainable and for bringing such a great group of like-minded women together. I can’t wait to see where this journey continues to take me!”
“Now, with the exercise, I see such a difference in my shape. I even managed to lose more inches than I had before! I don’t really base my successes on how anyone but one person feels about my success, my husband. He is so proud of me! He tells me all the time how great I look and that he can feel the difference when he hugs me. That is such a huge win for me! I am so happy with the Venus Program. It has taught me how to be happy with my body, that I should be realistic, and how to make better choices. I know that I won’t get it right 100% of the time, but I know that with Venus, I can get back on track and keep having success.”
Tina’s weight ballooned up during her time becoming depressed and medications that hindered her ability to understand hunger or the ability to feel full. Venus has helped her learn about the awareness of food and portion sizes.
We did something special for our tenth place this time like we did for VT17. Tina is a Venus who has lost 100 pounds and was willing to share her story with you. She gets the Venus Immersion lifetime subscription for her prize.
If you have a unique success story to tell and are willing to share your pictures and do a podcast with us, simply contact me and let’s do it. It does not matter how long it takes you, make it a lifestyle. Sometimes the 12 week contest fits your life and other times it doesn’t. We all have the various seasons in our life.
Next we have our cover model winners. The neat thing about these ladies is they are previous contest winners who are proving that this lifestyle is something you can keep for life. It’s not just a 12 week contest, it’s a lifestyle. It takes a while to learn, but it can be done!
“I feel that this is the beginning of Venus Index for life! My husband says whatever you are doing, it’s really working and now he is starting to ask me to help him! I am starting Final Phase tomorrow, thanks to the encouragement of my girlfriends on the Thanksgiving Challenge. Roberta, you are one amazing human being. I hope I know you forever.”
” I actually have only begun. I look at my after pictures with great pride, realizing the hard work and determination it took to get to where I am today. I will continue to eat clean and exercise, and to commit to the Venus lifestyle. Thank you for this incredible program.”
Congratulations to all the winners! What beautiful pictures. What hard work. It all paid off.
We will be contacting all of these ladies to see if they want to share their story and possibly do an interview.

Meet Malissa again, she placed in our VT11 contest.
The Venus Transformation Contest VT19 is quickly approaching. Many of us are getting a head start with the Venus Workouts in a 12 week workout challenge starting this week. We will just roll into the new year getting done what needs to get done.
Feel free to join if you want some workout support. It’s the Venus Factor Workout Accountability group on FaceBook.
You can view the Day 1 Venus Factor work-along video to help you get started.
One of the Venus ladies in the Workout Challenge group had a question about her son the other day. Her son Mikey needs to lose weight and is doing the Venus workouts with her (which is actually great for the guys too!). Anyway, she wanted to know her son’s maintenance calories so I ran them on the Adonis calculator.
Holy freakin maintenance calories! Maintenance Calories: 3145 cals. Can any of us even imagine!!! Notice that he can eat 1200 and it won’t hurt his hormones so much. Not fair!! At the same time, guys can binge too so if he does that bumping it up to anything under maintenance consistently is the WIN just like us females.
NOW, does anyone notice the room of margin for error for calories? THIS IS WHY I came up with the “Calorie tightrope” we walk. A serving of something here are there can make or break a deficit for us. A freakin DAY OF OUR MAINTENANCE can make or break the deficit for this 25 year young 6 foot 5 male. NOT FAIR!!! We can scream it to the mountain tops how unfair it is, but it will not take away the excess fat on your body. Knuckle down and roll up your sleeves if you want it!! DANG, Let’s do this anyway!
And this is where you signup once you get a Venus login (but only during the dates above) JOIN the CONTEST.
I also have the Venus Factor Contest Prep group on Facebook which you are welcome to join.
And then there is the bigger support group with only women doing any workout, any diet, all empowering each other with love and support in Nibbles Fitness as we all nibble away at our goals.
Alright ladies, Let’s DO THIS!
-Coach Roberta
There is nothing easy about this process. It’s a lifestyle. It takes TIME for people to learn a new lifestyle. Be patient with yourself. Give yourself permission to be human. Never give up. The only difference between those who succeed and those who have not yet is persistence and learning to dust yourself off and keep going after you fall.
And our first place winner is Jackie. Her prize is getting her life back but she happens to get her choice of either $500 or the Immersion package.
“For VT18, I felt like the various pieces all came together – consistency in exercise and nutrition. It was only during this contest that I feel like the target measurements might be real. What if I could achieve that? What would that feel like? I am looking forward to finding out.”
The second place winner is Barbara and besides a beautiful shape for her body she gets the choice of $350 or the Immersion package.
“I feel that this is the beginning of Venus Index for life! My husband says whatever you are doing, it’s really working and now he is starting to ask me to help him! I am starting Final Phase tomorrow, thanks to the encouragement of my girlfriends on the Thanksgiving Challenge. Roberta, you are one amazing human being. I hope I know you forever.”
Our 3rd place winner is Lynn who not only looks amazing in her dress, but she gets a prize of $250 or the choice of the Immersion package.
“Daily planning of food to go with you, so you are not tempted by unhealthy choices becomes easy and routine. Choosing to change my mind set to” Slow and Steady, while incorporating the Venous System has made the difference. Life is not a race. Venus Index bring it on, you rock!!”
And not the least of all is our amazing 4th place Candy who looks absolutely stunning in her dress. She wins the choice of $250 or the Immersion package.
” I actually have only begun. I look at my after pictures with great pride, realizing the hard work and determination it took to get to where I am today. I will continue to eat clean and exercise, and to commit to the Venus lifestyle. Thank you for this incredible program.”
Congratulations to these beautiful ladies who put in a lot of hard work to make a transformation. Each of them lost 10-15 pounds which is above average for most women in the 3 month period of a contest. They enter the holiday season with a winning strategy and ahead of the game compared to the rest of society.
Why are there only four winners this time? Well first of all we don’t just fill up the ten slots, we pick those who showed a true transformation. If the pictures don’t show a change or transformation, then they can’t be used.
But mainly there is nothing easy about this process. The is no magic pill or short cut. It’s going to take some true grit and determination. It’s somewhat simple yes, but it’s hard to implement the nutrition habits. It’s easy to give up when you think you can’t do it anymore. Sometimes you make all the human mistakes we all make with food intake, you think you are a failure, thus you give up. But the fact of the matter all of us make a “controlled stumble forward” as John’s has said in his email. You have to give yourself permission to be human and keep going anyway.
I’ve emailed everyone who entered this contest and had extended the deadline for them, but the overwhelming response was “I just couldn’t stick with the nutrition plan”.
So here’s a list of the most common mistakes and some solutions:
Problem: Eating a deficit that is too low for you. The Venus calculator gives you a range, not an absolute number.
Solution: When you eat too low on your deficit days you will end up eating more uncontrolled on other days. The solution is to bump up your calories to something still under your maintenance number per the Venus calculator. Consistency is more important that eating low. The turtle wins this race. Everyone that tries to do this too fast end up rebounding. Aren’t you tired of the diet yo-yo? If so, stop eating so low. But at the same time don’t eat over maintenance. That’s how you win. That is how you walk the calorie tightrope.
Problem: Not eating up to maintenance at least one day a week.
Solution: You don’t have to follow an exact schedule on this, you can pick a day of the week that works best for you. Some weeks you need more than one maintenance day. Remember that eating up to your normal needs (maintenance) is ALWAYS A WIN. It is not back sliding, it eating what you actually need. Eating at a deficit is “corrective action” and is not meant to be long term. It is like taking medicine and some days the “medicine” causes too much stress on your body. If it’s hard to add in a little extra food on those days start eating a little earlier in the day, continue to eat small portions but add in a little more healthy more calorie dense foods like fats and carbs (yum!!) – enjoy it!
Problem: Not getting enough protein.
Solution: For your meal planning, focus on protein and veggies FIRST, then add a serving or two of both healthy fat and carbs, sometimes these are combined in other food choices already. The highest protein foods in the least amount of calories are in this order: Egg whites, white fish, protein powder, bone broth, Chicken/turkey/ham, fat free Greek yogurt, fat free cottage cheese. The calorie to protein ratio drops off dramatically after that with all foods including other food labeled “high protein”. Many foods have protein that are very high in calories.
Problem: Getting stuck in a rut with meal timing and thinking you must fast or delay your first meal of the day until afternoon.
Solution: Intermittent fasting and fasting has it’s place for sure, but it’s not always the best answer for the day or season of life. If you find yourself eating too much in the evening and not able to stay on plan, it’s not working. If it’s not working it needs to be fixed. By continuing the vicious cycle of fasting and binging you set yourself up for continued failure. Remember it’s okay to change up the meal timing according to how you feel for the day. You can always “Save the Day“. What matters is the calories at the end of the day in the 24 hour period, extend that out 7 days, 30, 60, and 90 days for results.
Problem: Not giving yourself permission to be human.
Solution: Accept the fact that you are human and will make mistakes with nutrition. Stress is a huge factor. You can’t rely on willpower alone, you need to setup your environment for success. When the nutrition didn’t go according to plan, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, take a deep breath, and decide to continue on. We all have to do this. I still have to do this.
Problem: Not realizing that you are not really accurate with food intake, the “But I’m eating less and it’s not working” syndrome.
Solution: This happens especially when you eat too low, because you will over compensate on other days by eating too high and not realizing it. This is called “Mental Accounting“. It’s very easy to make honest mistakes when tracking your food intake. In addition there are many times things you missed on the food labels or with measurements of food, or with supplements that have calories.
Sometimes you have to be your own motivator and other times you need a little help and support from friends. If you want help and support I have a Venus Contest Prep Facebook group. If you want to get started with a little New Years Challenge I have New Years Challenge support group where there is a prize drawing for participation. Before long you will know how to create your own prizefighter victories every single day for the rest of your life.

Don’t believe the lies of society about mid life female hormones! You can do it too!
Just ditch the emotional eating excuse or the “my problem is I love food” excuse! There is nothing special about that problem.
This Morning’s Question: Hey, can I ask you a ridiculous question? Do you ever just go ‘off the rails’ with your eating? I have such a good plan in place, but some days it seems like I just can’t *make* myself choose wisely. I *know* what to do…but sometimes, I think I actually lose my ability to care. (I’m sorry; I *know* that sounds horrible, but that’s really how I feel!) The only thing that makes sense to me right now is that the problem *could* be my wildly fluctuating hormones, but I hate to be one of *those* women who blame everything on hormone issues!
Anyway, I was wondering if you had any advice on how to combat occasional apathy…
My answer: It is not ridiculous, yes we all have days like that, even me. I have learned to stop the flow of eating sooner, sometimes it’s making sure I don’t eat too low on other days, sometimes it’s taking a break to log it so I SEE WHAT I’M ACTUALLY DOING. Sometimes I can “save the day” or decide to start minimizing the damage the rest of the day.
Sometimes getting to the gym helps me get in the right mindset and away from the freakin food!
It’s a fine line. It’s a tightrope. Sometimes we teeter on one side or the other, but we learn to keep our balance better over time. Awareness and knowledge of your food and the values is where the power comes from. It isn’t necessarily willpower, that will always fail us. It’s learning from the failure and deciding on a plan to prevent it as much as possible next time.
TRUTH!
Never Settle
Never Give Up

Teresa had to unwind 35 years of fad diets!
Teresa placed in our last transformation contest and here’s what she wrote in her own words:
After 35 years of battling with food and exercise I have won! Venus has helped me conquer this lifelong struggle which I never thought was possible. Due to the Venus program I’m healthier, happier and have a new confidence that permeates everything!
I’ve been more successful at work, and my relationships with friends and my family have improved. This is because I have put my health first. I have an extremely stressful full -time job that requires travel. I’m married and have 3 young boys, ages 12, 9 and 7. There are so many distractions and excuses to not take care of myself and for so long I gave into them.
Once I decided that my health and how I feel about myself come first, I am happier, I’m centered which benefits everyone around me. I started this journey approximately 28 weeks ago and I KNOW that I will continue it for the rest of my life. I lost 20 lbs and 21.5 inches, I still can’t believe how much my body has changed!
I am 46 and when I started Venus I was fatigued by diet and exercise. I wasn’t sure if I could do it, if I could try again. Something changed when I heard John’s sister’s story, I was moved and I thought maybe I can do this. I decided with conviction that I would fully commit one last time, I would go all in! This time was going to be different. I took a chance and said I’m going to follow this program without question. I thought what’s the worst thing that can happen…I won’t lose weight? I said to myself, no excuses, no turning back and let’s see.
Not only did I lose weight, which in the end, doesn’t matter so much to me, I changed my body and I changed the way I eat. I didn’t have to give up food that I enjoy, I mean NOTHING! What a revelation! I modified and measured and planned and was careful. I was shocked at how well I did during the first 12 weeks and that I didn’t feel deprived at all.
I was so excited I wanted to continue my journey and I’ve almost completed the Final Phase program. I utilized all the elements of the program; the community, podcasts, diet suggestions, and the work-outs. It’s perfect if you like a program that has a variety of ways to connect with the information and the sponsors. The Community was an amazing outlet and my fellow Venus sisters and coaches supported me. Knowing they were there, that I could check in every day helped me feel less alone and motivated.
Due to the technology, you can access Venus anywhere, anytime and it TRULY changed my life. I have lost and gained weight so many times in my life I really can’t count. I’ve tried every program on the planet, Weight Watchers, Diet Center (old..i know), Body for Life, Detoxes, South Beach, Zone, the list goes on and on. I’ve even had a personal trainer. While some things worked here and there, nothing was sustainable. Several factors contributed to my success on this program, the single most important for me was that my relationship with food changed.
Venus allowed me to think about food and exercise in a completely different way. I have always enjoyed working out but I was one of those people who thought cardio was the only way and I had not done much weight training.
Now, I sincerely look forward to weight training and the impact it has on the body is FANTASTIC! I’ve slowly incorporated cardio back into my life but now it’s just for enjoyment, it’s not about needing to burn 100’s of calories. I’ve learned so much from Venus about myself and about the workings of the human body.
I am no longer a slave to the scale, it does NOT define me. I don’t mind feeling hungry, in fact I like it now. My body continues to change and I see muscle definition that was NEVER there before! I know that I will never go back to my old ways. I know this because throughout the last 6 months, I’ve been tested.
I’ve had bad days, I’ve had a week or two that I didn’t work out at all. Nothing happened! I didn’t completely fall apart, I didn’t unwind, and I just got back to handling my food and work outs. Because of Venus I have the tools to manage my weight and food.
I love the support and friendship of the community, there are so many resources available to aid in your success. You just have to want it, and before you know , you will have a new sculpted body that others envy.
Just imagine and take the leap, if I can do it, ANYONE can!!
VT18 is winding down and we at the Venus Factor want to see you succeed. I’ll be making a new contest schedule for next year soon. The next contest will be in Mid January 2017. Stay tuned for updates.

Lisa finally won what she wanted with Venus!
Lisa had a common struggle. That last 10 pounds or so. It seems so impossible, but really it’s just the slowest. This is where the rubber hits the road regarding trusting the process.
Many of you have a lot of weight to lose, that’s okay! The journey teaches you how to deal with the last 10 pounds for the rest of your life. For many the last 10 pounds is actually part of maintaining. But it’s the hardest part alone from just “getting started”. It is slow and the body weight scale is pretty much useless except for about checking about every 8 weeks or so.
Life happens, and you will repeat the cycle many times. That’s why it’s a lifestyle not a diet. That’s why it is important to learn sustainable practices.
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching Lisa on social media and learn the lifestyle, trust the process, and finally win her goal!
Here’s what Lisa has to say in her own words:
My experience with the Venus Factor System had been amazing! It has been what I’ve been looking for for so many years. My main objective when I joined the Venus Index Transformation contest was mainly to keep myself accountable. I knew deep down I needed to step out of my comfort zone (submitting pictures) to achieve my goals. I needed a proven program and I got that with the Venus Index system.
I started the Venus Index workouts hoping to lose those 10 pounds, lose inches, gain strength and self confidence. I really wanted to change the shape of my 54 year old physique that was heading in the direction I wasn’t fond of, lol!
Last year I had joined a local running club and committed to the Iron runner 15 race series. I focused totally on running and neglected the weight training. I made the mistake thinking I didn’t need to weight train anymore and that cardio was enough.
I learned that in fact I was really doing too much cardio and needed to get back to weight training.
The program has also taught me so much about nutrition. For example the amount of protein I needed blew my mind, I had no idea!
Lisa is pretty happy with her Venus life!
I learned that if you have the right tools and get your mind right you can achieve anything. Everyday does not have to be the same.
Nobody ever said it would be easy, but the plan is simple. Work it everyday, tweak it for you, never give up, trust the process!
I had to tell myself these things daily. I’m so happy to say I was able to achieve a 10.8 pound weight loss and a total of 9 inches overall. I’m also inside my ideal metrics, but at the high end. I’m a short person so the changes are slow and small.
I love the Venus Index system! I’m not quite where I want to be yet, but I know this program is one in which I can follow forever.
I’m a work in progress, it’s a lifestyle, it’s MY lifestyle!
Lisa
I don’t know about you but I think Lisa is stunning!
