Tyler and Mimi Ford – Vemma

Colleen Kinstle – BIO: August 15, 2009 – Pictured below is a before and after of Colleen. Please read the story in its entirety. It is a real inspiration.

My Vemma® success story began in March 2009.  But, let me first tell you what lead up to me ultimately becoming a Vemma Verve BELIEVER.  I hope my story touches those who may share similar challenges…..

My name is Colleen.  I am 38 years young (lol) and married with four kids (ages 5-10).  I never lost my pregnancy weight from my first pregnancy (in 1998!) and with each subsequent birth, I only compounded my weight gain.  My last two pregnancies were 16 months apart (both were 9 lb babies).  I was always embarrassed to admit that I actually weighed more this past New Years Eve, than I did when I was in full-blown labor in 2004!  That’s quite a confessional!

When I began using Vemma Verve in March of this year, I was skeptical to say the least.  I had tried everything you can imagine to help curb my bad eating habits, the poor food choices, and overeating…which had been building for a decade.  I was a busy and sometimes overwhelmed mom – like the photo shows – MOM 24-7-365!.  Yet, every Monday, I would start out with the BEST intentions and the highest of willpower; but by noon (still on Monday – lol) I would cave into my bad habits and old routines, and find myself at the nearest drive-thru – Super-sizing my way to additional health challenges and eventually weighing as much as my husband.  By the way, 180 pounds on a 5’10 man is okay….it didn’t quite have the same appeal on my 5’3 female frame!

I love photography and scrap booking photos.  The saddest realization for me was facing that I had stopped being in pictures for a LONG time.  I literally have only a handful of photos of myself with my children or family over the past 10 years.  I was too embarrassed to be in them, and seeing them only forced me to recognize my self-sabatoge…and trust me, I did everything in my power to avoid being ‘real’ with myself when it came to my weight issue.  I was hyper-sensitive about the issue, and my daily mantra was a helping of denial with a side-dish of depression*….not very pretty.

So, when I began to use Vemma Verve  in March, I really didn’t have high expectations; although I tried to be open-minded!  To my sheer delight, I could feel the difference within a day or so!*  Each day’s benefits built upon the next, and within weeks, I was noticeably changed on the inside – and outside!*  My new found energy, stamina, and sense of well-being, became the catalyst for wanting to exercise and re-establish my mind-body connection.*  Along with taking Vemma, I began to exercise and eat healthier.  The weight started to fall away, and it was replaced by feelings of empowerment.

As I write this, I have lost 31 pounds*!  I have lost almost 3 sizes and many, many inches!  But, ironically, it is my ‘gains’ that I am most proud of.  I have gained confidence, determination, willpower, physical and emotional strength, my smile, and for the first time, an appreciation of my body….not what it looks like, but for its’ ability to seemingly forgive my years of abuse (lol) and for its’ acceptance of this new activity called “exercise” that I push it through on a regular basis now!

I start each day with Vemma  Verve, and I truly feel like it’s my “SUCCESS” formula.  When I run into people who haven’t seen me in awhile, they can’t believe how much I’ve changed.*  When I share this story with them, I see their eyes light up with hope…for themselves.  As a member of Vemma, it’s inspiring to know that I am a living testimonial to how a life can be changed.   Vemma offers the product, tools and support, to help people create their own health – and wealth – simply by living and sharing.

I used to always admire the Before and After success stories in magazines, and LONG to have an AFTER picture!  Thank you to Tyler and Mimi for asking me to be featured as an on-going “inspirational success story” for their blog.   We hope to keep you posted along my journey, as I continue on this journey reaching my goal.  I would be honored to answer any questions you may have.  You can reach me by going to my website www.drinkyourvemma.com .

Yours in Health and Happiness,

Colleen Kinstle

Ultra Premium Nutrition for the NEXT Generation.

We were fortunate to get a bottle of Vemma Next this past weekend while in San Diego, CA at the “Roadmap To Success” Vemma leadership conference we attended. Vemma next is going to be available for order come September 1, 2009. It is awesome and taste great! Kids and parents are going to LOVE Vemma Next.

Vemma’s mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of families all over the world. Beginning September 1st, that difference will start in the lives of our member’s children ages 2 to 12. Vemma NEXT^™ fills a huge void in the children’s nutritional supplement world. Some of the most talented minds in the wellness industry were tasked with a mission to design a supplement with their own children in mind. Forget about costs and margins, this is a product that puts children’s health first and foremost unlike any children’s supplement before it. Created with Vemma President and CEO, BK Boreyko’s own children in mind, it is by far the most complete and finest children’s nutritional formula available anywhere. And the best news? It’s passed the kids taste and smell tests with flying colors!

Many children in the US and around the world live every day without access to the proper nutrition vital to good health. With your help, we can do something to make a real difference in the lives of these children!

For each month’s supply of Vemma NEXT™ purchased, Vemma will donate a month’s supply to a child in need in the country where the product was purchased.

In addition, from September through November, Vemma will proudly support the Children’s Miracle Network^® in raising funds through the sale of Vemma NEXT. For these three months, a portion of the proceeds from each sale will go to Children’s Miracle Network hospitals to support the important work they are doing. Team Members will also be given the opportunity to contribute a gift amount of their choice to further benefit these hospitals and the children they are privileged to serve.

Giving a gift where most needed is a great way to provide essential help to some of the most vulnerable children. Let’s help create a better life for a child today!
