Promoters

Here Are Just Some of The Many ViSalus Promoters

Amber Melendez

As most of you know in the beginning of this year I was faced with a life threatening situation, that required my immediate attention.This February I joined the 90 day health challenge with support from my husband of 5 1\2 years and not only changed my physical health but also our financial health. At the young age of 24, I was able to walk away from my position at a local credit union and promote the challenge. My strongest desire is to help those struggling with their health as not to long ago, I was in those same exact shoes and our health is our responsibility.

Jose Melendez

I enlisted in 2006 and served under the 10th MTN Division of Fort Drum, New York until 2011. During that time I deployed to Iraq for 15 months and Afghanistan for 12. I then went to Afghanistan in 2011 under the CRAM program and was introduced to ViSalus. Prior to being introduced to ViSalus, I had not taken my physical health seriously, easily seen by my weight at a little over 200 lbs. During my time in Afghanistan I started to watch what I ate, worked out, took guidance made available by ViSalus resources and lost 50 pounds and am in much better shape. Now that I am home, I have begun my first 90 day challenge, continue to support my wife in her physical health and strength goals, and continue my journey in good health. I reach out to anyone who has thought of themselves as weak, out of shape and “lazy” to join me on this journey and look into the 90 day challenge and the information provided by ViSalus Science. Feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you and sharing my success. Amber and I will be participating in many outdoor, recreational, and physically challenging events that will be listed in the upcoming events section of this site and I encourage you to join us in these events.

Danielle Cookson

Hello everyone! My name is Danielle Cookson. I am an Army wife, mother, and full time dental assistant. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I remember playing basketball in Junior high and being teased by all of the skinny girls on the team because I was not thin like they were. A year and a half ago my husband was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Now, this was a wake-up call for me because my husband was a reasonably fit, physically active soldier. I, on the other hand, was out of shape, overweight (I was at 350+), and not physically active at all. I made some adjustments to my cooking habits (for my husband’s sake), and made a vow to myself to become more physically fit. Changing my eating habits helped me drop my first 20 pounds. Around this time, I started going to the gym about three days a week. I wasn’t doing much, just walking on the treadmill, or riding a stationary bike, anything to keep me moving for thirty minutes. I even entered, and completed my very first 10K (on a bike) in August of 2011. I dropped another 24 pounds over the next year or so. At 306 pounds, a friend approached me about joining a Biggest Loser Challenge some friends were organizing. I managed to drop 29 pounds in those three months. I started my first 90 day challenge on June 26, 2012, the day the Biggest Loser Challenge ended. At that time, I weighed 277. I thank God every day for Amber telling me about Visalus. Let me tell you, it was one thing to hear about it, and completely a different thing to actually see results. Not only am I losing weight, but I have more energy than I’ve had in a long time. In August of 2012 I entered the same 10K from the previous year, and this time walked the whole thing! I lost a total of 28 pounds on my first Challenge (I only had one shake a day, and worked out 3-5 days a week). I just started my second Challenge, the great thing is that when my husband saw the results from my first 90 days, he decided to join me on the second 90 days! This time, I am drinking 2 shakes a day and keeping up with my workout schedule. I cannot wait to see our transformations! I am currently at 249 pounds, and only 99 pounds away from my final goal! With God, and Visalus on my side, I don’t think anything can stop me from reaching it!
