Where Are They Now? RESET Challenge Winner Paul Reynolds

Written by Jessica Reimer February, 2014 in Health & Fitness

Meet Paul Reynolds. He is one of my favorite people, an amazing photographer, and he will be turning 40 this year.
He also was one of the 2013 RESET Challenge: Destination Transformation winners in the total weight loss category.
During the 12-week challenge, Paul lost and incredible 49 pounds. By September of 2013, Paul had gone on to lose an additional 46 pounds for a total of 95 pounds lost! The best part? He’s been able to maintain this current weight.
Here is Paul’s story.

“I had been overweight most of my life; well into my youth. I had been obese for nearly 15 years prior to the 2013 challenge. Losing the weight was a great barrier for me. However, with belief in myself, a loving support group, commitment to the RESET weight-management program, and consistent physical activity I lost weight, forged a new healthy lifestyle, and won the 2013 RESET Challenge: Destination Transformation.

Winning the challenge and going to Sanoviv had a momentous impact on me. I no longer doubted that I could do it; I had won!

Although 49 pounds was a great victory for me, I was not content. I still had plenty of weight to lose. It was easy for me to continue what I was already doing. I had found great success in the RESET weight-management program and I realized that I could maintain the healthy lifestyle I had been practicing over the course of the 12-week challenge.

I continued to follow the RESET program once I returned home from my fantastic stay at Sanoviv. Over the course of just a few more months I lost an additional 46 pounds. I still have more weight to lose, but my mindset is different and so is my approach. I am no longer racing to a finish. I am working life long to my ultimate goals.

I figured as long as I am always moving in the right direction, then I’m doing pretty good. Although my weight has not changed since September of 2013, my body has. I have put more emphasis on sculpting. My motivation is practical strength to support my bucket list of adventures.

During the 2013 RESET Challenge I focused only on brisk walking as my exercise. Over time, that walking turned into jogging and then into running. I had found an activity that I became passionate about. I had never been a runner. In fact, I hated running. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of finding an activity that you can get excited about. Being excited about a physical activity that gets you out the door and burning calories. Good eating is only one component. A person must move and exert energy to truly see change.

Behind Galena Peak, where Paul’s pointer finger is, stands San Gorgonio at 11,503 feet in elevation. Paul has set a goal to hike/jog to the summit and back via Vivian Creek trail in one day.

I am an adventurous person by nature. Prior to my weight loss, my weight held me back from participating in almost all outdoor activities. I no longer have this problem. A great weight has literally been lifted off me. The sky is the limit. I am free.

I am greatly motivated by opportunities, adventures, and experiences. I regret wasting my youth away to being a couch potato but, I am not wasting another moment on the past. My future is very bright. I have set many goals that I intend to accomplish.

Some goals I already have completed, like running a half marathon, climbing Angels Landing in Zion’s National Park, and sail plane gliding. In 2014, I plan on running a full marathon, rafting a remote wilderness canyon for 10 days, and running to the summit and back of Southern California’s tallest Mountain, a 11,500 foot elevation climb, in the same day.

Again, I am motivated by opportunities, adventures, and experiences. I am teachable and continue to learn about my body and about my health. I practice my healthy lifestyle every day, with the occasional splurge day.

I trust my health 100 percent to USANA and I use the USANA products every day.

 

My top tips are:

1. Replace the foods you love with healthier low-glycemic versions
2. Get active and push harder
3. Drink lots of water
4. Use the USANA products every day.

Thank you USANA for the opportunity to participate in the RESET Challenge: Destination Transformation! It changed my life!”

Paul is an amazing example of what can happen when you make the commitment to get healthy!

Fact or Fiction? Starting USANA is Pricey

Written by Nick Peterson February 19, 2014 in Fact or Fiction   

FICTION!
Oops … should I have mentioned “spoiler alert” there? Sorry, but this one is so far from fact that I have to mention it right at the beginning.
There are so many myths out there about not only network marketing, but also about getting started with USANA — either as a customer or business owner. The one I find so puzzling is that “it’s going to cost a fortune to get started.”
Once again: FICTION.
Give me one good reason why we’d make your first experience with USANA a troubling, expensive fiasco? It makes no sense at all. Our success depends on your success and vice versa.
This business is all about teamwork among friends and USANA family members. Preferred Customers and Associates alike deserve the best experience possible, all while supplementing their health with the best nutritionals around.
Now I’m going to cover three aspects of getting started in USANA that make your new journey a healthy, convenient and less-expensive one.

1. Customized to Your Liking

So here you are, ready to make your first product order. Most likely, you’re working with a friendly Associate who’s advised you of your options. You can’t go wrong with one of the three business packs (Basic, Entrepreneur, Professional) filled with plenty of pre-determined products and savings. But hopefully your Associate has told you about your other option: the Custom Business Pack (US-EN PDF).

Yep, you can totally customize your first order to your liking. Maybe you’re only interested in getting an order of our quality Essentials™ along with a bottle of Procosa^® to give your knees a little relief from that morning run.
Or if weight loss is your interest, you might want to purchase a RESET™ kit and stock up on a few of our tasty Protein Snacks and Nutrition Bars. It’s totally up to you.
The custom pack lets you choose the products you want with no minimum or maximum price limits. And hey, if you’re getting started with your own USANA business, hitting certain point levels in your custom packs earns you free perks in the form of event passes and cycles of our handy business tool, the Income Maximizer™.

2. Automatic Savings

I’m going to convince you of the benefits of starting an Auto Order, but first, let’s talk about our Preferred Pricing.
Before we made revolutionary changes to our business plan at the 2013 International Convention, each of our products had listings for a retail price, a wholesale price, and an Autoship price. Then we decided that was all a little confusing, which led to the glory that is known as the Preferred Price — just one, more affordable price for every single product.
That’s not as good as it gets, though. We like those special people who keep long-term savings in mind. So to reward them, we came up with Auto Order. Basically, Auto Order means you’re sticking to USANA’s products and dedicated to living the healthy USANA lifestyle, so your products will be shipped to you automatically every month.
Oh, and did we mention that we’re slashing an additional 10 percent off all the items you place on Auto Order?

3. Wait … There’s More?

Seriously guys, I’m not yankin’ your chain here. Because we want our new Preferred Customers and Associates to stick around, we’re upping the ante on initial savings.
This beauty of a discount is referred to as Initial Order Reward, and word on the street is that some of our newbies aren’t taking advantage of this deal … and that’s just not cool, you guys. Not. Cool.
And here’s why.
Let me break down Initial Order Reward into a simple, step-by-step explanation. When you make your first customized order, you’re automatically approved for Initial Order Reward.
Here’s the thing though: the reward doesn’t happen until after you take action. When you receive your first order of product and realize how awesome it is, you need to put your next round of product in a monthly Auto Order shipment.
That’s it. Simple as that. Now the rewards come in like this: take the total of your very first custom order, and 10 percent of that amount is the discount you’ll receive when your second and third round of products are placed on Auto Order — 5 percent credited to the second order that you just placed and then another 5 percent credited following the third order. And that’s on top of the 10 percent discount you’re already receiving by switching to Auto Order.

It’s Up to You

I don’t know what else you want from me, people. I swear I’ve given you all of my money-saving knowledge for one post! Trust me when I tell you that this is the best way to get started with USANA.
Now, it’s up to you to take advantage of these discounts and make your choice: save money … or don’t.
