Hello from Alaska...starting the Venus Factor Index (VI)

maddmaddie

Any other Venus Alaskans?

Hello! I'm somewhat of a newbie. I actually purchased the Venus Factor program back in 2013! (...kinda embarrassing it was so long ago). I tried it out for 2 months and it worked, I lost 10+ lbs but I was going through the LPN nursing program and fell off the wagon. I just had too much going on and I wasn't in the right mindset to continue.

Now, I have completed the LPN to RN program, I recently passed my NCLEX-RN test and I am FINALLY a Registered Nurse. I am done studying, but its like I have a void in my life now that I don't have anything to study. Which is why I think this is the perfect time to focus on VI because I don't have any distractions and major stressors in my life. I am ready!

I am on week 1 and I've lost 3 lbs since Monday. So far, its has been an easy transition back into the Venus program probably because I've attempted this before. I just had to flip that mental switch, I had to make that decision that I'm in it, I'm doing it, there are no more excuses now, I am done with school, I am ready to get healthy and get the body that I've always wanted, it can be done!

Are there any Venus factor girls interested in a texting buddy??? Let me know! I know myself, and I know I will be strong at first, but I might slip later, so it would be great to have people to motivate each other and keep each other on track.

Instead of undereating knowing that will make you slip, why not go with the calorie goal MFP gives you, log accurately, and have a fair chance of success?
