Meet Nancy Tedlos – Wife and Mother, with a fulltime career, a passion for healthful living, and an advocate for sharing her passion through the network marketing of Vi- Nancy has been happily married to her soul mate for 8 incredible years. They have 3 beautiful children: Bella, Noah, and Olive. Nancy works full time with the State of California as a supervisor in Accounts Payable. According to Nancy, when she is not working, she loves spending time with her family, whether it be at home watching movies, hunting for lady bugs, or going to the park,. Most recently, family time has switched up to going to the gym at the kids’ request. She thinks it has to do more with the newly offered rock climbing than their desire to spend time exercising with their parents. With her busy schedule, one might ask Nancy how and why she wanted to pursue a home based business. After marriage and having kids, as many women do, Nancy felt her body was not the same. She had gained weight, felt unhappy with how she looked and felt and was basically uncomfortable in her own skin. Before becoming involved with Vi, she would watch what she ate, count calories, work out and still be unhappy with the results. Having had family members that suffered from obesity and diabetes, she was aware that being overweight has been associated with so many diseases and illnesses, including these. As her weight continued to teeter and she didn't see any changes in her body, she felt she had to do something. It was then that her friend, Oddie introduced her to Vi and the Project 10 Challenge. Since then, she feels more motivated to work out and be healthier. She reports that she has lost 12 lbs of fat in 90 days and feels more comfortable in her own skin and getting more compliments, which is certainly an ego boost. Nancy was not the only one to discover Vi and Project 10, her husband started it to and has lost 15lbs in 90 days. She reports that he, too, is also very excited about living a healthier lifestyle and getting his sexier back! An important part of all of this to Nancy is that the kids are seeing mom and dad workout more and setting better example for them. Being active has become such an important part of her family’s lifestyle. The company that Oddie introduced her to presented a mission to fight the global epidemic of obesity. Nancy felt that this was such a worthy cause to be a part of. Instead of treating the symptom, why not solve the root of the problem? Her aunt, who would have been considered obese, even morbidly so, died 2 years ago because of the health issues she had due to her weight. She tried losing weight off and on through crash diets and/or starvation. Unfortunately, none of that worked. It's sad to know, had she lost the weight in a healthy manner, she would be alive today. Her son would have his mother; my mom her sister; and I, my aunt. 29
