Body by Vi HELP!!!!

I am having the same problem! I have only lost 2 pounds using it. It is frustrating because you hear of so many people losing lots and lots of weight on it. I think I have lost inches while using it, but nothing too drastic. I am also interested in seeing how many calories people are allocating for snacks. Have you taken measurements of yourself? Maybe your losing inches and just not the weight yet. I am going to try to lower my carbs and see if that makes a difference.

As far as snacks I am just following the suggestions from the guide that came with the challenge kit. I have been doing things like almonds and string cheese, trail mix with dried fruit and nuts, or any variation of fruit/vegetable and protein that I can come up with. Calorie wise for the last week I have averaged about 500 for both snacks in a day.

I have been on Body by Vi for just over 2 weeks and lost 17 lbs. (not typical). I had terrible eating habits...never ate breakfast and skipped lunch most days. This stuff has gotten my metabolism back on track. I have my first shake before I go to work, then have a granola bar (2-pack) a couple hours after that. 2nd shake for lunch and a small snack when I get home like, pretzels or fruit. Then my dinner habits have not really changed, although I eat less because of the shakes (I get full faster). After dinner I check my calories here on Myfit, to make sure I'm at the 1500 calories. If not. I have another snack. If I'm over 1500, I get on my Nordic Track for 15 - 20 minutes, and do some push-ups and sit-ups.
For the last 4 days, I've been on my Nordic Track even if I'm under my calories. I have THAT much energy, and it's starting to feel good to work out again!
I don't know if it matters, but I drink my shakes at the same time everyday. 5:30am and 11:00am for lunch.

I hope you find something that works for you. I've heard of some people not losing anything for 2-4 weeks, but then the lbs. started coming off. Another: my friend has hypothyroid issues, so it takes longer for her...she lost 16 lbs over her 90 days and I think 11 inches overall.
Good luck!

Too much carbs...

Guys be careful with those shakes, flavor and fruits...

For that amount of cash, buy some whey protein or simply go at walmart to buy a can of protein.

Visalus is so expensive... :S

Make sure to choose the low carb ones...

I've been sticking to 45g carbs a day and lost 5.4 since last monday. (I am not really overweight.... I just need to lose 25-30 lbs) So that gives you an idea.

I mostly eat low carbs :

Egg whites
Meat
Cheese
Vegetables
and careful with fruits...

Good luck !!

I did weight watchers, lost 6 pounds in 2 months...
I cut the carbs = 5.4 pounds in a week.

Of course, I wont lose that much every week but still, it helps me...I am also eating REAL food.

Good luck to you!!!

Thanks for the advice! I want to cut down on my carbs and you are right, fruit as soo much in it!!!! I definately have been checking out different fruits and picking those with lower carb count like berries..
