Congratulations to Gold Executive Stephanie Cook from Incline Village, Nevada, a Lose for MORE Challenge winner! As a contest winner, Stephanie receives US$5,000, a trip to Utah for a dream makeover and photo/video shoot, two preferred seating tickets to the 2011 MonaVie International Convention, and lunch with Senior Vice President Jeff Graham. Here's what she had to say on winning the challenge, her experience with MonaVie RVL, and more…

My journey started when I was born.
"My journey of a thousand pounds started when I was born. When I reflect on my youth, I remember all of the pain that my extra weight brought me—the teasing, ridiculing, name-calling, and physical and mental abuse. This has followed me into my adult life. I have always struggled with the physical ramifications of being obese, but the mental punishment that I have put myself through has been far worse. As of today, I have lost a total of 88 pounds with MonaVie RVL, and I can't help but feel extremely emotional when I think about where I have been and where I am now.

"I started my first diet when I was 19 years old, which means I have been dieting for more than half of my life! I remember each diet I have been on as if they are my children. My first diet was a pre-packaged food diet. I would get my entire week of food and my desserts would be gone within two days. So, not very successful was my first endeavor. I went on to have more failures with vitamin injections, hormone injections, a cabbage-soup diet, a blood-type diet, a grapefruit diet, an all-vegetable and fruit diet, a cleansing diet, healthy eating, extreme exercise and many more, including starvation, bulimia, and gastric bypass surgery.

"These plans have all failed me, which caused me to fail on myself. I have had a serious bout with depression and had all but given up on life and was waiting for my time to come. My life was about nothing. My wonderful husband, who has been by my side for over seven years, couldn't do anything to 'fix' me and was very scared for my physical and mental health.

I drove nearly nine hours one way...I did not want to wait for RVL.
"I remember the day I heard that MonaVie RVL was coming. I actually felt hope and excitement that something would actually work for me. I never knew how very true this would be. MonaVie RVL was made available on November 2, 2010. I ordered my one-month supply, and on November 3, I drove nearly nine hours one way to MonaVie's distribution center in Ontario, California. I did not want to wait for RVL to be shipped to me. On November 4, I started the MonaVie RVL program, and my life has forever been changed!

"My husband likes to say that MonaVie has given him his wife back. When we got married, I was at my heaviest weight. It has been his dream to carry me over the threshold, and I want to make that dream come true for him. We wonder how many other lives can be saved by the products of MonaVie, by the leadership of MonaVie, and by the inspiration of MonaVie.

The Lose for MORE Challenge and Stephanie's Daily Routine
"The MonaVie RVL program has made the Lose for MORE Challenge so much fun! The convenience of taking my breakfast, lunch, and snacks with me throughout my day makes my days worry-free. Just open up a water bottle or a snack bar, and voila: success at hand! Also, the challenge provides the much-needed accountability that I knew I would need to keep going each and every day. Knowing that I would have to log in my weight and inches as well as submit a picture every week ensured that I took the everyday steps necessary to keep inching down toward my goals.

"My normal day consists of a RVL shake for breakfast, half of a snack bar with a RVL dietary supplement for my morning snack, a shake for lunch, the other half of my snack bar and another supplement in the afternoon, and a fabulous low-calorie meal for dinner. I love to play around with my favorite recipes and make them RVL friendly. Cooking with different spices and experimenting with different ingredients has given me a love for home-cooked, low-calorie foods that beat eating out any day. I love my chocolate shakes every day. My favorite chocolate shake recipe is three ounces of water, three ounces of unsweetened chocolate almond milk, a scoop of RVL, and ice. It's yummylicious!

I am looking forward to the rest of my new life!
"Because I know the struggles and pain of being overweight and obese, I have vowed to make it my mission to tell every single person that will listen to me about MonaVie RVL. I have something absolutely wonderful that fits into my new lifestyle. For the first time in my life, I am thinking with the end in mind (as Jeff Graham likes to say). I have never been able to do that with my physical journey because I have never been successful. I have never been an ideal weight in my entire adult life; and, for the first time not only do I know that I will reach that ideal weight, but I will do it healthily—mind, body, and spirit. I imagine that I will be down more than 100 pounds by the time the 'Imagine' Convention rolls around in June. I am looking forward to the rest of my new life! Thank you, MonaVie, for allowing me to dream again. I will be forever grateful to you all for the more meaningful life that I am now living."

As a contest winner, Mark receives US$5,000, a trip to Utah for a dream makeover and photo/video shoot, two preferred seating tickets to the 2011 MonaVie International Convention, and lunch with Senior Vice President Jeff Graham. Here's what he had to say on winning the challenge, his experience with MonaVie RVL, and more…

This blessing could not have come at a better time.
"Being a winner in the Lose for MORE Challenge was a pipe dream for me. I never considered myself to be a real candidate. When I received the call that I had won, I was speechless. The timing was truly a blessing from God. My mother very recently passed on April 21. My family is very close, and the loss of my mother was devastating. We encouraged my father to move in with us so he could be closer to the family. My in-laws also live with us. Their health has been compromised with cancer, and they are currently undergoing treatment. My wife and I have been moving money around to manage our finances, and this blessing could not have come at a better time. My wife and I are committed to contributing 10 percent to the MORE Project.

A promise to make 2011 a wonderful year.
"When I was 35 years old, I weighed approximately 175 pounds and wore a 32 pant size. I enjoyed working out and staying healthy by exercising and eating right. At the age of 51, my priorities have changed with a growing family and a new career. My weight has not been a focal point as it has been in the past. I have been working midnight turn for the last 10 years and have developed poor eating habits. I managed to keep my weight around 230 pounds and wore size 38 pants. I accepted the fact that I was getting older and this was a natural process. However, at the end of 2010, I weighed 240 pounds and felt terrible.

"My blood pressure was up, my knees ached, and I started wearing size 42 pants. I knew inside that I was working myself to an early grave. I tried to eat right but did not sustain a healthy diet. My beautiful wife, Cheri, is thin and fit. I knew my weight was not very attractive, but she still loved me because she knew the man inside. My children are active and play soccer, but all I could do was watch. This was a very lonely feeling. My wife and I made a toast on New Year's Eve promising that 2011 was going to be a wonderful year.

Taking my life back with MonaVie RVL
"In January 2011, my friend and sponsor, Paula Lazzari, took me to a MonaVie event in Orlando. It was at this event that I made a pledge to take my life back and to get my health under control with MonaVie RVL.

"The MonaVie RVL products are amazing. The shakes taste wonderful and are very filling. They curb my appetite, and I know I am getting the proper vitamins and minerals. I have been taking two servings a day—one when I get home from work in the morning and a second before I leave for work each night. I eat a sensible meal for lunch and work out for at least one hour each day. By utilizing the weekly weight-loss charts and photos on www.monaviervl.com, I could see real results. My confidence grew and the look on my wife's face was priceless. I have been approached by employees at work asking how I was losing so much weight. This is a great opportunity to share the MonaVie product line and opportunity. I am no longer embarrassed by my body. I have lost more than 40 pounds, and I plan to lose another 15 pounds to reach my goal weight of 180 pounds. I feel great today and look forward to playing golf, camping, and enjoying family activities again.

"I have experienced success, sorrow, and blessings. I know God is working in my life. I want to thank all my friends from MonaVie for their support and prayers. The first four months of 2011 have been so very rewarding thanks to MonaVie and the support from my upline. This has truly been a life-changing experience."
