Summary: Today we are honored to listen to Lori Aquino who placed fifth in the 8th Venus Index Transformation Contest. Read what Lori wrote about her experience with the Venus Factor: What do you say about a program that every day, several times a day, has forced others to take notice of you? And boy, have people noticed. Wow! How do I handle all their ‘noticing’? I have a co-worker who, no matter what results I get, will completely do another program to prove that weight loss can happen on her terms. She has often attempted to sabotage me with food. And another who was in shape and one time and knows what she needs to do…complains about it but will never do it. These two sat one on each side of me during this whole contest. That was a challenge in itself! I called them the snack queens. They eat out of boredom and it was hard to remind myself that I was shooting for a bigger goal; ME and MY health. However, I did have two other co-workers who noticed and joined the program. (I check in on them often and they love it too!) As well as several members who told me how wonderful I looked and that I should be proud. If only they could do it? Of course, I told them that they could and all about Venus. The ‘noticing’ has ranged from praise to concern to others attempting to sabotage me. Wow! However, my favorite notice has been from my teenage daughters. My middle daughter saw my legs one day and was like, “Mom, you are wearing shorts and you have better looking legs than I do!” God bless her! Listen to Lori's interview here, and please “like” it when you’re done:
