Obesity is defined as an excess of body fat. It can be accurately measured by skin fold thickness instruments and bioelectrical impedance analysis. Both measurements are difficult to perform. Both also require expensive instruments and trained personnel to perform them. For most, the Body Mass Index is an accurate and inexpensive measurement of body fat. The BMI is the sum of a calculation based on weight and height. It is widely accepted and easy to determine. Most medical calculators let you plug in numbers to obtain the value. Persons for whom the BMI might not be as accurate would include the highly trained athlete who has little to no body fat. For these, calculations would tend to be somewhat higher because of the heavier muscle mass. Normal BMI ranges from 18-25. Higher BMIs are associated with increased mortality from all causes. Although intuitively one would associate being severely obese with earlier death, merely being overweight could lead to earlier death as well.

Why am I speaking to obesity? Because I realize that Exfuze is providing part of the solution to this epidemic. There was a time that I did not consider being overweight as a major issue. I spent 8 months in New Zealand with my flat mate being a Malaysian Doctor who was a size 3. When Angeline told me that most of Americans were overweight, I brushed it off as, “she is just talking because she is so tiny”. A few years later and finding Exfuze, I realize that she was ‘right on’ the problem. I am hearing many of the ‘weight loss’ programs on television. They are all saying, “take this and you will not have to change your life style”. “You can eat whatever you like and not change a thing.” WRONG! We did not become the “fattest” race of people overnight. We cannot expect to become healthy and slim overnight. We must change our thought process. We must change our eating habits. We must add exercise or increased activity to our lifestyle. To become healthy requires a complete lifestyle change.

This is what becoming a part of the Exfuze Family is-a change in lifestyle. All of our products are natural and are extracted to provide the body with exactly what it needs to become healthy. The ShapeWay product is a complete meal replacement and when used according to recommendations, I can guarantee positive results. I speak from one who has used it for these past 6 months. It is truly eye opening to find out what is really going on inside your body in regard to fat, muscle, bone, and water percentages and even your metabolic age! The best solution I know of to handle imbalances in these areas is the ShapeWay Weight Management System! It includes a delicious ORGANIC meal replacement shake at just $1.67 per meal and Energy Metabolizer capsules containing 3 amazing ORGANIC ingredients with clinical studies proving weight and inches lost in 100% of the participants. There are several Independent Exfuze Distributors located in Louisville, KY. We have available several Metabolic Scales that will take body calculations and provide you with information about “Am I obese”. This is a free service that we will provide to our community. I would like to help change the statistics that say Americans are “FAT”…at least not those in Louisville, KY. Please take advantage of this service. I have been in the Health Care Industry for greater than 40 years; let me give back something to my community.

I never really considered myself obese but when using the metabolic scale it said that I was in my 80”s; that got my attention. This is why I have been using ShapeWay for near 6 months now. My weight loss is 32 pounds with 4” loss around my waist and my hips. This has brought me down from an Ex-Large to a medium in clothing size. Amazing to say the least! The same thing can happen with you.

We will have the marathon in Oklahoma City in April with a 3.5 mile walk. Come and join us. It will be awesome. There will be many of the ShapeWay users involved in this walk. I for one will be there.

I challenge those of you here in Louisville who have used the Exfuze products or have heard of their value, to come out of the woodworks. Let us share this with our community and decrease the statistical records that say we are an obese nation.

We need to forget all things that are behind us in order to really run for the prize that is ahead of us. If we can’t forgive people, then we cannot run competitively against our own self. The devil will get a foothold in our lives easily through un-forgiveness and will start to make our lives miserable day after day. We train our body to run the spiritual race by denying itself the right to defend for itself and instead take up the cross of forgetting people’s trespasses by forgiving them and letting God work on behalf of us to justify us and to take vengeance in His own way and time.

Once we forgive others, we should not let the enemy try to harbor ill feelings in our heart against people whom we have already forgiven and thus make us not to forget it. If we do not forgive people from our heart unconditionally by the Lord’s strength, we will not forget their trespasses which will again bring us in to the bondage of un-forgiveness and grudge towards them. Thus bless those who curse you. We should apply by the Lord’s help to overcome this subtle work of our enemy Satan and his demons.

LOOK FORWARD!!!!!!

God will make a WAY.

As I write this blog this week, I find myself without fancy words, but I know that this Angel on a Mission continues to move forward. Setbacks, yes they occur; but as Pastor Steve said last week, they are not really SET BACKS they are SET UPS intended to mold us into just what God wants us to be. We are encouraged to maintain our focus. We are set up to run a race and we must remember that our eyes are on the prize not the race itself. We cannot believe the deceiver who is our enemy. He is the liar from the beginning in the Garden when he deceived Eve. He wants us to believe the lie that we will not make it in this world. The race is won, the victory celebration is about to begin.

Victory always starts in the head. It’s a state of mind. It then spreads with such radiance and such affirmations that destiny can do nothing
but obey

I realize that I have not said much about Exfuze in this blog but, it is a way of life with me. It is part of me as is my journey. Exfuze may be my business but the journey is most important. The business is a means to an end which will be part of the same journey…to live a Christ like life before the world so that others will be inspired to move forward in their destiny. I want to be an inspiration not only to my family but to my friends and to those who do not know me but are still my neighbors. May God bless and give me favor so that I can reach out beyond my territory and be a blessing.

I have lost 30 pounds with ShapeWay and 4 inches. My goal is another 30 pounds!

Too often people quit right before their big break was about to take place. They miss the blessings God had in store…

You have to constantly water your seeds! You have to prepare and work your fields for the seeds to take, to grow strong roots, and produce crops. You can’t just go around scattering seeds hoping something will grow. Farmers don’t operate businesses that way, why would you expect your finances or business ideas to work any differently.

Our lives are shaped by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to influence us, and the goals we give ourselves.

If we only dream and take no action, we get no further. But if we plan, set a goal and take action then our life takes a different shape.

Don’t limit yourself; don’t put yourself in a bottle. Or in other words move out of what is comfortable and secure if you want to move forward.

I began with Exfuze about 2 years ago and I am nowhere near where I want to be. My goal is to be productive enough with the product to quit my nursing job. I began with a passion for the product because I know that it is a valuable asset (BLESSING) that I wish to share with the world. My health has been affected tremendously and I want to share this with everyone. I get flack from my friends and family because they think it is expensive yet they are willing to blow monies elsewhere into non productive areas of their lives. I know that this is a God-Given product and will continue to move into the direction of success no matter how slowly I move. This is what I speak to myself:

DON’T QUIT!!

You may be tired…
Still… don’t give up.
You may feel alone…
Still… Don’t give up.
You may feel like you’ve been in the storm too long…
Still… Don’t give up.
You may feel like the enemy is beating you down…
Still… Don’t give up.
You may feel like no one cares and no one sees you…
Still… Don’t give up.
You may feel smothered with responsibilities; work and bills…
Still… Don’t give up.
You may feel defeated, angry, hurt, put down and fed up…
Still… Don’t give up!
God is with you
In God’s time your breakthrough will come because of your
Perseverance, faith and your willingness to learn.

Stay open and optimistic because your next blessing will probably
Come from the most unexpected person or place.
Remember, always stay in the Light, and keep on keeps’ on.
Be Blessed…

I (We) must learn to balance our lives!

Although the fog has been heavy over these past few months in my life greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. I walk by faith and not by sight. Even though I do not see the things that I want to see now, I see them by faith. I see family reconciliation. I see love abounding in ALL areas. I see my business prospering productively. God is ABLE to exceedingly above all my expectations cause these things to come to pass. When Moses and the children of Israel came near to the Promised Land, they were only 11 days journey away from it. It took them 40 years of wandering to get to the point of crossing! The question is “what happened?” They allowed many things to stand in their way…from anger, critical attitudes, holding grudges, self pity, jealousy and the list can go on and on. How many times must we go around that mountain before we cross over to the Promised Land? Moses was a tremendous man of God but he was not allowed to pass over the Jordan. God told him that he could only go up to the top of the mount and ‘look at it’ but he could never cross over.
(How interesting! A study for later) Then the Scripture reads:

Joshua 1:2 My servant Moses is dead. Get going, cross this Jordan River you and ALL the people.
Pastor Jack brought the Word on Sunday and this was what he said…our “Moses” has to die in order for us to cross over. What is the Moses in your life? I think very carefully and have decided that those obstacles that do not belong to the Father must go from me. Yes it is a struggle but I will walk in faith believing that I can and will overcome. As I said last week, the battle is not mine but the Lord’s I simply must let Him do the fighting. I must BELIEVE.

I cannot change what people think of me, I can only share what God has done for me. My heart is mellow even when it is broken. The Spirit tells me to focus on what I have and not what I have lost. God will restore as He restored for David in Ziglag. You have to learn to encourage yourself. You will not always find encouragement in your circumstances. It is not easy to look on the ashes of your life and imagine anything good coming out of it. Fiery trials and difficult tests are not conducive to encouragement. Most of the things in this world are specifically designed to DIScourage you.

When David had encouraged himself in the Lord, and asked God what to do next, the Lord said,
“Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all” (I Samuel 30:8b).

One of the greatest revelations of King David was his understanding of God’s mercy and love for him…even when he stumbled. I know that my God loves me and I refuse to allow condemnation to flood my life. I will walk in victory and rise above the circumstances of my life. God has blessed me soooo much over my short span of living and I praise Him for this. ‘Thank you God for being there every time that I fall and by your Grace I will stand again.’

Don’t ever give up! Ziklag is not your final resting place; it is only the test of kings. Encourage yourself in the Lord, pursue, recover, and move forward. This is your destiny, and this is the word of the Lord to you.

I realize that sometimes I wander randomly but I remain an AngelOnAMission to reach people for Christ. This business Exfuze is dedicated to this mission. It is a God-given product that will go with or without me, but I choose to carry the torch as far as I can. I am but a messenger. Some people will listen and some will turn a deaf ear but this does not stop me from moving forward. I grieve when people are sick and weakened from poor nutrition. I know that this product will help but some of the people will not hear. They accept the report of the enemy that says, this is just the way it is gonna be. This is a lie and we should not accept it. YOU can turn things around. YOU can change things. YOU can get healthy and make a difference. It is a choice that YOU must make.

Is your life worth the effort that it takes? Is your life worth the cost that it may bring? Money? Time? Sacrifice? What is more valuable than your health? Lots of people complain, “I am overweight! My cholesterol is high? My blood sugar is too high! My blood pressure is high! I have no energy most of the time! My hands hurt! My arthritis aches today! I do not sleep well at night!” If you have ever made such a statement as these you need to call me and let’s talk. I have an answer that will make a difference if you are willing to give it a try. Let me hear from you soon. Don’t wait till the midnight hour when you are down and out and at the ‘end stage of life’ before you choose to make a difference.

LET ME MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE. LET ME HELP.
LET ME SHOW YOU A BETTER WAY!

When I walk through Wal-Mart or through the Mall and watch the crowds…I grieve because most of us are overweight and are burdened with some health issue. I have been there; but I have chosen to change my life. Call me and let me share with you. Whether I make money or just share the blessing; my goal is to get the message out. Let me do this.

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

We share the commitment and dedication of bringing you the finest synergistic nutritional supplements nature has to offer that will ensure your optimal health both today, and well into the future.
Explorers and visionaries have always suspected that in exotic locales, at the furthest reaches of the planet, lie the secrets to vibrant health.

The peace of God is the deep calm that envelops the thought processes of the Almighty.
He is never anxious, always in command, never without a remedy. He sees the end from
the beginning and views the needs of man from the position of unlimited resources and
capabilities. He perceives the needs of His children with both compassion and confidence,
for all things are possible for Him.

I just returned from Jacksonville, FL where my friend and I supported another family member in a move from a stressful situation. I find that no matter where you go there is drama and old slew foot is working overtime in stirring up trouble. We (I included) give him too much room to do this. At some point we must let love overcome and trust God. This is very easy for me to say but not as easy to walk and I am fully aware of this. I will continue to proclaim this even when I do not feel like it. With the hurt and the pain that we experience it is difficult to move forward. I love my family, my children and my grandchildren…ALL of them…even when they think different.

I love my daughter so much and cannot seem to covey this to her. This is for Jenny:

My prayer is that as the year 2012 progresses more of us will see the importance of one another. We must bond together more than we ever have as time approaches. Lord let me be a light…let me be the angel on a mission that will bring a message of hope to those who will listen. In my plight to share what God has done for me I have missed the boat in my own family. Father God, restore to me what has been taken…as David fought to recover his family whom the enemy had taken…let me fight to recover mine. I am nothing in this world without YOU and without the FAMILY that you have given to me.

We are in a test!

“When you go through difficult times, make sure you pass the test. Don’t be stubborn and hardheaded. Recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges. Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. God has called each of us to be champions; you are destined to win. If you will work with God and keep a good attitude, then no matter what comes against you, the bible says that all things – not just the good things in life, but all things – work together for your good.”
― Joel Osteen

This blog will be short because it is late as well.
I want to invite all of you to join me in the Bible Reading for the year 2012. This week’s reading is:

Week January 15th Genesis 35-48; Psalm 18-24; Matthew 26-28; Mark 1-4

What I do know is that God’s Word does not return void. As you enter the Word into your heart you will grow in knowledge and understanding of His love. Love overcomes a multitude of sins and I have many.

Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. (You’ll decide what you want and it will happen)
This is a choice that each of us make.

Take ACTION and not be just a thinker. Repeated actions become habits. Doing nothing is an action and is a choice that will get you NOWHERE. Doing something is a choice and will elevate your thinking and get you to success. Choosing to do something repeatedly for 30 days will become a habit. Implement creative strategies and ideas in your life that will become productive habits and a successful lifestyle.
DELIBERATE ACTIONS become MOTIVATION to change your life becoming a changed lifestyle.

I WILL DO TODAY WHAT OTHERS WON’T, SO THAT I WILL HAVE TOMORROW WHAT OTHERS DON’T

CHANGE YOUR HABITS AND YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE…TODAY

The Conference is going on in Dallas today and tomorrow. Lets us all pray that all goes well with those who are sponsoring it. I wish I were there in person but my heart is there. Go EXFUZE 2012!!!

I know that this is going to be my year and I have made an active choice to elevate my thinking and begin to make better choices. I will create strategies and ideas and implement them as the Spirit of God reveals them to me. I will practice the Law of Recognition and trust the Kingdom for results. I will recognize the divine connections and expect SUPERNATURAL every day. I will practice taking no offence. I will be more diligent in my everyday life to make the WORD and PRAYER a priority and I will listen to hear the VOICE of GOD.

THIS is my declaration for the NEW YEAR…what is yours? The choices we make determine our future. What choices have you made? What choices will you make?

I continue to be an Angel On a Mission…to share not only my business with Exfuze but the values that I learn in my journey. Till next time. Evelyn

I have been taking the ShapeWay product for the 90-day Challenge since convention in September. Here are the pictures taken at that time. At the conclusion of this blog I will show you a current picture of what has happened in by body. I choose to take the shake 2 times daily on most days and eat a good meal the other one. I take the 2 capsules as recommended. With the weight loss of 24 pounds and 3 inches…I feel great! I add to this as close to 3 liters of water daily as I can make it. (This is very difficult for me with my busy lifestyle) In one of these bottles of water I add a shot of Green Zilla not because I want so much or need the energy boost but because of the natural nutritional value that it adds. As Dr. Joe says it super charges the water that I drink. I also take the Proformance each morning and a shot of Premium Focus every night before retiring to bed. Please remember that I had been diagnosed with metastatic cancer in 2009…I carry a full time job as a Registered nurse and continue to maintain my health with this regimen. I would recommend it to EVERYONE who wants to walk in good health.

My goal was 30 pounds in 90 days. I made the 24 pounds but with the 3 inches loss…I am pleased with the results. I have also added an hour work out at the gym at least 3 times a week. I believe that this is important. Take the challenge if you want similar results.

Some folks think that they do not need this product because they do not wish to lose weight, but in fact, could gain weight. Let me share this…ShapeWay is a weight management program…not a weight loss program. If you are living a busy lifestyle and cannot eat regular meals, this is a program for you. Dr. Joe is not a man who needs to lose weight yet he consumes this nutritional product on a regular basis.

The product provides the body with what it needs to maintain the proper nutrition. Adjust it according to your personal needs. Should you have questions about making this determination send me an email and I will help you with the answers to that concern.

Since I have been taking this product, I have become more aware of people around me and their weight issues.

Both the young and the old Americans leave under constant pressure of life that leads to high levels of stress. Even though stress has been known to make people slim, in United States it is doing the opposite. The busy lifestyles, students in school and colleges leave very little time for leisure. Everyday most people are in a hurry to solve problems either at work or at school, giving them very little time to rest play or even eat. Therefore, most people end up eating junk foods on their way from one place to the other. They do not have time to cook proper meals. More so, Americans do not get enough time to exercise and the little time they get at night they spend watching television while chewing some junk stuff like popcorn until late at night when they remember they have not prepared dinner.

The chemicals people partake in their food and from the environment such as phthalates contribute much to the overweight problem. Most Americans eat processed foods that contain all sorts of chemicals for preserving, seasoning and adding extra nutrients to the foodstuffs. Very few people in United States can attest to eating purely natural food from the farm or animals.

Why do I say all of this…because Exfuze stands on the fact that our products are designed and formulated with ALL natural ingredients. Check us out! I encourage you to do your homework. Many companies make this claim but how many can stand behind them? How many have documented results to substantiate their claims? Our products are call SEVEN products for a reason…we have SEVEN of the major fruits in their extracted state to be a dynamic boost to the body in its road to GOOD HEALTH.

I have dedicated this week’s blog to ShapeWay because Louisville (Americans) needs to wake up. After the dust of the holidays settles, I want to hold some free clinics throughout the city and use the metabolic scale in order to provide the public with some analytical measurement of where their health is. We will be meeting on January 10th at our regular time. Come and join us and let us get this year off to a great beginning.

Ill-health, of body or of mind, is defeat. Health alone is victory.
Let all men, if they can manage it, contrive to be
healthy!

Lenn and Cathy Mink were at TWOC on Christmas day to ‘set off’ the beginning of this change. There ministry includes worship leadership with Kenneth Copeland. They are anointed ministers of the Gospel whom the Holy Spirit sent to Louisville, KY (TWOC) to begin this process for 2012. Don’t miss it.

I want to bring together what God has done for me during this past year. I believe that 2011 was the beginning for me. The prophetic Word has been brought on several occasions saying that I would be financially stable and in a position to help other folks. This is truly my goal in life. I do not have the grandeur ideology that I will become rich and live in a fine big home and drive a fancy car…not that these things are bad but this is not my goal. I remain focused on being able to supply the needs of the needy when they are brought before me. Have I achieved this goal? In the natural, I have a ways to go but in the spiritual aspect it is DONE. My heart has spoken to me and said that if I do what is within my reach the God will do the rest. This is what I am trying to do. Giving is the greatest gift that someone can do. First give love and friendship and with this will come the works to help those in need. My business with Exfuze is on a solid foundation. I am not where I want to be but have built a steady group of entrepreneurs who will work with me in the process. I thank God for this opportunity to go forward.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ~Evelyn

Most times I do not feel like an Angel on a Mission although this is my ministry. This year has brought my second son into my home with his family. Now this is good in many ways but stressful in many ways. Placing children and extra adults into a small home is stressful even with the best of circumstances. Then I have my other granddaughter still living with me. I honestly have enjoyed having someone here through the holidays, because a Christmas without children is dull to say the least. Allison (my daughter in law) who does not live with me asked the question, “What have you learned with so many people in the house?” A great question! Much of what we think we value is of little significance. Love will overcome a multitude of sins. I have found that I do get angry over some things that are done in a different way than I would have done it… (Be ye angry and sin not)…I speak sometimes and many times just walk away. I have to think-what would Jesus have done? Although I love my family, I look forward to my space again. My sons family will soon find their own home to go to and my granddaughter…well she must sprout her wings and learn to fly.

God has also brought my eldest son through brain surgery and completed healed him in more ways than one. Thank you God for bringing him through as you promised for my family.

My only daughter has become a ‘working outside the home’ mom as well as raising the 8 children living inside the home. God bless her abundantly as she struggles to take one day at a time. I have been there and know what she is going through (believe it or not). My children do not understand that there are no new struggles on this earth…it just become personal and feels different. Jessica and Sarah are working full time hours at Steak and Shake so frequent those places if you can. I love you Jenny and ALL the family. I bestow blessings for the year 2012 upon all of you.

I think about the ‘rain’ as I enter this season. With much alone time and I think about my husband and the times we shared with each other and our children. With tragedy or rain there is always a rainbow if we look about us! Frequently we must look past the drama and focus on life and vision.

I use to enjoy playing in the rain as a child because it was cooling and refreshing. The rain made me feel alive. No different as an adult except for the fact that we tend to forget how cleansing it can be. Even in my greenhouse…my husband use to catch the rain water to feed to my plants because there was something about that rain that caused the plants to grow better. WOW! Think about this a minute! Let it rain more in my life…cleanse and refresh me.

I really was to the point when December came to ‘skip the dynamics of Christmas’. I was frustrated with the drama surrounding my granddaughter and the flooding of problems that come with extra people in your home. I even made the statement that I did not want to put up a Christmas tree or decorations. Remember the movie called Meet the Kranks who decided to skip Christmas? I thought about that as my daughter in law and grandchildren began to put up the tree. I am glad they did just that. The reason for this season is one thing…to remember our Lord and Saviour and the Love of the Father who sent Him here to us.

Christmas movies have been my favorite. I told my granddaughter that I enjoyed watching them because they reminded me of what Christmas was about. .. Being loved and sharing that love with others. Christmas is a time of bringing Christ back into our lives and becoming the people who we were designed to be. The Potter created us in His image and specifically gave us the instructions to duplicate. This is an awesome order but very much the truth. We are the only way that most people will see the Creator…in us and in our giving. Remember this as you read this blog and walk through this season.

When you think of it the duplication process began back in the Garden with Adam and Eve. I really had not thought about this until now. In business there is a duplication process that must take place in order for your business to grow. My Exfuze business continues even through this season. I have never backed off yet there are people who have. Working so hard I run into walls like, “this is not the right time”…I have to spend this money on this or that. Commercialism is not the reason. We must get back to the basics and the simplicity of what Christmas season is all about. My health remains a commodity that very valuable to me. I want to SHARE this with everyone.

I saw a Physical therapist walking down the hall the other day and began to speak with her about what was wrong. Of course, I hear the “itis” word. Tendonitis, arthritis…matters not which ‘itis’ that it is…it is inflammation. What is Exfuze most valuable attribute? It relieves inflammation. WOW, that was not hard. I shared with her and simply handed her a bottle of Proformance and said, “use this the way I tell you over the next 3 weeks. If you can return to me then and say it did not make a difference, then I will not approach you again. But, if you return to me and say, something has changed…let’s talk!” I love to take on a challenge like this. Christmas or not, people are hurting and we must not forget to offer Exfuze.

The other negligible area that I see is that many of us are pushing the ShapeWay more than the core products. I am using the ShapeWay and results are astounding. But, never forget that the other products must continue to be marketed as they are the core of the company. I continue to take the Proformance 1oz in the morning with GreenZilla and Premium Focus 1 oz in the evening. I also do 1-2 ShapeWay shakes daily with a well balanced meal or 2. With doing this, I have lost 21 pounds and 2 inches. My energy is as great as it has been for a while. I am 62+…I go to the gym 2-3 times weekly and work full time hours at the hospital. Considering where I have come from with tragedy, cancer and family drama…I consider this astounding. God is my primary source but it is He who gave Rick Cotton the idea for Exfuze.

Let us remember the root of Exfuze and its beginning as we march through this season. God Bless all who read this blog. Till next week…I continue to be “an Angel on a Mission”.
