A Message of Hope from Terri Gutierrez

"Friends & Family,
 
Something happened tonight ... an aha moment ... everything became clear.  I went out with friends & for the first time in 20 years, I didn't feel invisible anymore - I was noticed numerous times.  Something had changed. I actually felt good & confident in my own skin. This was the moment when the changes on the outside, finally hit the inside.  It was unexpected. I say this humbly, because most of you know my story and you know the struggles I have gone through in my life due to being overweight for so long. :(  As I look back, there's so many things I gave up, didn't do, let go, or lost ... all because of my weight.  Wow, what a reality check. :/ 
 
I am almost 100 lbs down now. It's insane for me to believe this at times. When I was at my heaviest, 252 lbs, I thought that was it. I thought any idea of me ever being really happy again and feeling good was pretty much over and thought that was my destiny. I was about to give up! Omg! Then one night, I hit rock bottom and thought I was going to die of a heart atttack.  I remembered my mother telling me before she died, for me to lose weight, so I would not go through the pain & illness she went through.  I cried all night while I prayed and begged God to help me get the strength to lose the weight.  I knew I couldn't do this alone. I knew I needed a support system.  The next day ... thanks to God ... I got the strength and I began my journey.
 
I thought to myself ... "How can I be so successful in my career or other things and not with my weight?", "How can food control me?", "Why is it I see people on TV that have lost 100 lbs - why can they do it and not me?"   I then thought ... "I have to lose this weight in honor of mom & dad (lost both to diabetes and heart disease). I have to do this for me and for my family - my nieces and nephews. They are going to need me one day and I have to try to live long enough to be there for them."   This is my WHY!
 
In closing, I knew that if I could lose the weight and transform myself, that I would be able to inspire and help others do the same ... even loved ones that are close to me.  I knew that I could be a representation of hope to them. That I could help them believe in themselves and know that transformation is possible.  Maybe this is my way to help the world ... one person at a time.  My mission is to help those that want to be helped - when they are ready.  This is my WHY!
 
Find YOUR WHY!  Once you find it, everything else will fall into place. It all starts there! I'm not talking just weight loss, I'm also talking about other things in life that we should be doing to better ourselves and our futures (e.g., relationships, financial, career, etc.). If it's weight, you don't have to do Isagenix, but do something. It's all up to you. Take the first step. Believe in yourself! You can do this! I'm just a regular girl ... if I can, you can!
 
Wow ... I don't know where all this came from. Maybe these words will appear in my book one day in the near future - you heard it here first. ;-)
 
Thanks for all your support and encouragement during my journey. It truly means alot.
God Bless,
Terri Gutierrez

Race To Maintenance Protocol

By
(Side Note:  My sister Andrea has now lost 80 lbs on Isagenix!  So proud of her, she has earned every pound!  Please feel free to congratulate her.  You can find her on facebook by searching for "andrea escobar clawson isagenix") The following protocol was developed by Peter Greenlaw of the RGG group.  This strategy has been instrumental in the success of the RGG group, which has hit 5 Star Golden Circle in its re-entry position in just 1 year.   Peter still starts everyone on the 9 day cleanse as he feels this is what "grabs" people and gets them wanting more. Here is how the Race to Maintenance works.  On day 5 of their 9 day process people order the "Race to Maintenance."  The protocol, cost and all other details are all spelled out in the document below. By asking people for this order on day 5, many customers are excited to order because of the emotional response and results they are having on their 9 day cleanse.   Peter gets about 90% of his c

Shredders, Oh man! this last year kicked major ass didn’t it? Don’t you feel like you grew and that the world is this wide open playground just waiting for you to explore all of the possibilities?   Aren’t you proud of yourself?   You really should be, we all should be.   Don’t ever let numbers on a scale or lack of perfection ever discourage you.   You are a winner.   You overcame and you show up.   You are a hero because you took back control.   You put your health, your life and your future in a chokehold and you always win. We do hard things, never afraid, we push back!   Much love and respect Shred Heads. ⚔️   Isn’t the new logo so FIRE? 🔥 !!!!   Yes, we realize it isn’t that much different, but at the same time, for us it represents a vision fulfilled. This was the plan all along and is a benchmark accomplishment for us all. We are not reactive, we have vision. We take all of this and our investment drop dead serious. We appreciate your trust and we know so many of you have len
