Body By Vi

I have a few friends that currently do it. They love it! The problem in their case is that once they stop using it, the weight will come back. I'd give it a try. Herbalife did fine for me for a bit but its way to expensive. Good luck!! (:

Hi! I just joined this site at the recommendation of a friend and am excited to use it to find additional support for healthy living. My husband and I have both been drinking a Visalus shake a day for a couple years now and just LOVE the taste and nutritional value. We've tried many others and keep coming back to Visalus and the BodybyVi Challenge. He is diabetic and the shakes help stabilize his blood sugar while providing great nutrition and weight loss benefits. There is a wealth of success testimonies, information and support in the Vi-net online community which you can participate in as a Visalus customer. Wishing you all the success you deserve!

I used Visalus a while back and lost alot of weight, like any other thing you do to keep the weight off and maintain you must eat healthy and always always always exercise. I just started back on Visalus after comparing and asking around about Herbalife and Advocare. Visalus seems to be number one, it is so safe and good for you you can use while breastfeeding is what I heard and read online. It has very little sugar but the facts are for mixing with water so if you add milk that adds more calories and such. It is a cake mix type flavor its called sweet cream BUT you can google recipes and find hundreds of ways to mix it and it definatly does not taste like the sweet cream.

well a lot of the men and women at my job are using body by vi i dont know the cost would like to know though and well they are losing weight quickly

Here's the thing. If you used Herbalife and Isagenix in the past, they obviously didn't work for you, or else you wouldn't be here. What is it about Visalus that you think will be different?

Try Shakeology! I lost 20 pounds in 5 months with the Chocolate shake and working out 4 times a week. I'm down to s size 8 now! feel free to friend or message. I'd be happy to share more of my story with you or just support :-) It is the only thing that has ever been able to keep me regular and give me soo much energy w/o using caffeine.

I havent tried body by Vi, but i love my Ideal Shape meal replacement shakes! I searched online and from the reviews i found, and comparisons, IDeal Shape was higher rated, They just dont have all the hype of Vi or others. There is no way to earn yours free by getting 3 friends to sign up, etc. I highly recommend it! I have been using them since mid November and I am down 30lbs. Yes, if you go off and eat the way you used to you will gain back. For me, i am a calorie counter of course and i like to save cals to eat a more ?normal? meal with my family in the evening, Ideal Shape helps me keep my cals low in for breakfast and lunch, stay full, get my vitamins, etc.

My fitness pal is meant for encouragment and helpful advice. Leave the nastiness and sarcasm at the door!!

lol. Beachbody coach?

actually, yes! It gives me a great discount on a product that has helped me get a much healthier body. From a size 12 to a size 8 - a stroooong size eight. Strong is the new skinny!

I love the shake. I've been on it twice a day since january 4th, lost 12 pounds since, and 14.5 inches in 3 weeks. It tastes like cake mix and isn't expensive at all when you consider that 1- you can have it for free 2- is better nutrition-wise than the competition. I love my shake and wouldn't change it for anything.

I haven't tried any of these shakes y'all are mentioning because I gave up on the fad diets several years ago. They only seem to work for a little while and once you go off them you gain it back. Do you really want to have to buy their supplements for the rest of your life so the weight stays off?

Why not make your own shakes? I used to think it was a pain to mix it all together but bought a ninja blender (one of the cheaper ones with the motor on top instead of the base) and found a good base recipe and have been drinking a protein shake every morning.

I found the recipe on Pinterest and have seen it on here. The base to the shakes are:

1/2 c. non-fat vanilla greek yogurt
3/4 c. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 c. of spinach (am also in the process of trying it by replacing this with kale or fresh collard greens)
ice
1-2 med or large bananas

and then to keep from getting bored I mix it up. These are the "extras" I have added and alternate between so far:

1 scoop vanilla protein powder + an extra banana (so making it 2 large bananas)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder + 1 c. strawberries (for a strawberry banana version)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder + 2 tbs. peanut butter (super good with the banana kick)

They usually are some version of green and take a little bit to get used to but I find it a very filling breakfast with tons of nutrients. I have a hard time getting fruits and veggies in and this helps. I add a ton of ice to mine to make it thicker so it usually comes to nearly 32 oz. (which I sometimes split into 2 separate meals so the calories aren't to heavy).

Play around and try to make your own. Then you know they don't have preservatives, added sugars, or other chemical crap added to them. It's all about changing your lifestyle not a quick fix.

Good luck! And congrats to every one's success, I wish you the best!

I am currently on the 90 Day Challenge...two weeks in and I'm down 7 lbs! Double thumbs up!!! My son (who needed to lose a lot more...like 50 lbs...lost 7 in the first week). I'm glad I'm doing this the healthy way instead of cutting out meals, etc. I have tons of energy and so thankful I was introduced to it. Plus, it's has a money back guarantee, so if it doesn't work, you get your money back. That was my catch.

Not everyone that drinks Shakeology is a BB coach. I'm not a coach and like it a lot. I don't think it's necessarily for weight loss, just a tasty meal replacement shake for when you need something fast and easy.

Agreed! I have several friends who are not coaches who drink it as a meal replacement and add fat free milk, peanut butter, etc. I have never once pushed that drink on anyone.

YOU DO NOT GAIN TH WEIGHT BACK IF YOU EAT PROPERLY! That's the same as any diet you follow! I love it! OMG yes people I am on it.... And my shakes are awesome and please don't argue with me..I wont listen........................Body By Vi!!! :drinker:
