Read what Cynthia wrote about her experience with the Venus Factor:
In July of 2011, I weighed my heaviest at 220lbs and size 20. I decided to start watching what I eat. I began logging my food into a website called myfitnesspal. There I met many Venus women. One in particular was named Californiagirl (Bobbie). I watched what she ate and lost 18 pounds by the beginning on 2012. The weight loss gave me the confidence to join a gym and I lost 40 pounds. However, by the end of the year, I felt like I hit a plateau. I looked in the mirror and I was just a small fat person. I looked for an exercise program to shape my body. I saw some Venus women talk about their exercise programs and I loved their after photos. So I bought the Venus index for myself for Christmas. I started in December. I was 165lbs and size 10 when I started the Transformation. With every new week, I was challenged with each new exercise. Very quickly I watched my shapeless body take shape. I am not an ‘after’ as of yet, but well on my way .I am 155lb, a size 6. I love the Venus Index exercises and the Eat Stop Eat guidance. I fast one day a week and stay under 1000 calories a day, 6 days a week. I have utilized the Venus Community for the many questions I have during this journey. I thank you for the Community and the knowledge you have given me.
Cynthia’s total transformation so far. With her new confident and strong Venus mindset she plans to keep going. I have no doubt she will achieve her goals.
