FitLine Social Media Campaign

Recently FitLine wanted to increase its awareness about its brand.

The campaign involved getting all members to like the FitLine page, and the person who invited the most likes will win the whole cinema to watch 'Thor 2'

My very good friend, Gina Yong, won the whole cinema. Instead of just getting friends to enjoy the movie, she turned it into a charitable cause. She invited friends to purchase the tickets and proceeds of the donation goes to Rumah Ozanam to buy uniform and school shoes. So wonderful!

Then and Now

One for the family. I am standing extreme right. The adult
and child sitting are visitors


The Chinese worldwide are currently celebrating our New Year. Thus, it's a tradition to go back to our hometown, and spend time with our family and friends.

During my recent trip hometown, I came across this old photo. I think it was taken in year 2005. It's a family photo, and in the middle, there is a lion head. It's a traditional dance, where the Lion Dancing Troupe is invited to the house or office to cast evil spirits away and to bring good luck.

I guess that year my parents decided to invite the Lion Dancing Troupe to the house.

Lo and behold, who is the person standing extreme right? It's yours truly! Gosh, initially I couldn't recognise myself. Who is this obese person???

I am so gladly that I managed to lose the weight, stay lean and adopt a healthy lifestyle with the help of FitLine.

No wonder my ex colleagues and old friends can't recognise me now, when I bumped into them in the streets...

My weight loss journey

Since I lost 18kg over a period of 9 months 2 years ago, I have gotten used to the fact that I have a slim figure now. I 'forgot' that it was an achievement!

Until recently, when I attended a seminar and we were supposed to train/share about our specialty. I figured that I should talk about it.

Thus, I showed my 'before and after' pictures and everyone was so amazed. Responses ranged from

- 'Get out of here'
- You got to be kidding me
- Is this you???
- Oh my God

All these responses reminded me that it was a GREAT achievement and I realised that there are still many people out there whom I havent reached. Lots of people need help to lose weight the right and safe way and also to SUSTAIN the weight loss. And there are way too MANY products in the market where poor quality ingredients are used.

I guess I'm in the best position to reach out since I was there before and I have done it successfully :)

Weight loss

Recently, I have been sharing about our new FitLine XXS weight loss product and program. The first question people ask is - need to exercise?

My answer is - the long term solution to sustainable weight loss is exercise. If exercise is not incorporated, the weight loss will be a yo yo effect and not only that, you dont look good and feel tired.

Four years ago, exercise wasnt in my vocabulary. One fine day, I decided that I shall do justice to myself, (since I am taking FitLine), to just take walks in the park (I am not a fan of gym. Prefer open spaces)

Ever since then, I got hooked to walking/hiking. Made a few good friends along the way, and that made exercise more pleasurable and enjoyable.

So, that's my secret to my sustainable weight loss for the past 2 years - FitLine+exercise+healthy diet. Simple :) One of the many trekking places

Weight Loss Program

FitLine XXS

Late last year, FitLine launched a new weight loss product - FitLine XXS. The testimonies after testimonies mentioned that it GUARANTEES weight loss, provided the person follows the program.

I have a few people who have been trying to lose weight but to no avail. Thus, I recommended them the XXS program.

This is how it works:
- breakfast. FitLine xxs capsules+FitLine meal replacement+ FitLine restorate
- lunch. FitLine xxs capsules+light, soupy lunch+ FitLine restorate
- dinner. FitLine xxs capsules+light, soupy dinner+ FitLine restorate

I am so excited. Looking forward to seeing my people lose weight!

Weight Management is Easy with FitLine

I recently attended a health and fitness workshop.

Here, the speaker shared about common myths of health and fitness. The most common concern among folks these days is weight loss.

One participant commented that she wanted to stop being a couch potato and lose weight. When she said that, my mind went like..."You are in the wrong place, girl. You should be in a mind workshop to reprogram you mind"

When it comes to weight management, it's like walking down memory lane. I was there. I know what it's like. And I know how to overcome it.

Thus, I offered to share my story with the rest of the group. And I mentioned that mind setting is the first thing anyone should do. Without mind setting, and the plans will not last.

What do I mean by mind setting?

- why do I want to lose the weight ? (most important question of all. If your answer is just - I just want to look good, the WHY is not good enough.

perhaps you should set your mind to say I want to look good so that I can fit into my dream dress/attire for the upcoming event and why is the event important to me, etc)

when that part is tackled, the rest is easy.

I have lost my weight, and maintained my weight loss of almost 20kg for more than 1 year effortlessly. I eat, I do indulge and thus it has been maintenance free. YES!

Drop me a line should you need me to help you :)

Re-affirmation

As mentioned in my earlier post, we had our FitLine Malaysian event of the year, PM Extra, over the weekend.

I was given the honour to have a few minutes of airtime to share about my success story in achieving the rank of International Marketing Manager (IMM). It was my first time speaking in front of all the FitLine leaders throughout Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Bangladesh and not forgetting Germany.

Since my downlines were also present, I made sure I prepared the speech. Of course I was all jittery before the speech. But surprisingly, during the speech I was ok. And yes, preparation does help tremendously in such events!

The next day, Mr. Carsten held additional training for serious builders like us (Mr Carsten remembers me for my almost 20kg weight loss testimony! Good for me and FitLine!). I also had the opportunity to share a few moments with leaders from Penang. The Penang leaders affirmed that I am on my way to success, with my attitude and actions.

Wow. It felt great! Success, YES!

Take how long to slim down?

During the weekend, I attended a conference in downtown KL. As usual, being a networker, I started chatting with my neighbours who were sitting beside me and behind me.

As usual, the question of 'What do you do?' pops up. This is the time where I fish out my namecard and eventually, I show my photo testimony of 'Before' and 'After'.

This particular lady whom I was sharing the photo with, was so impressed with my results. She started asking questions - take how long? how to do it?

And when I gave her the answers, (ie replace meals with FitLine Gourmet Shake, watch your food intake, exercise, etc) her respond was - So difficult! I have no time for exercise!

This is where I find the human species so peculiar. I honestly believe that there is no short cut to anything. That is how nature works. You just have to go through the steps and processes, to achieve long term results. Any short cuts, only lead to short term results. You dont see a tree growing half of its size, do you???

And homo sapiens are such that everything has to be instant. So, at the end of the conversation with the lady, I encouraged her by saying - If I can do it, so can you!

Mmmmm...junk food is so delicious!

I was at a hypermarket earlier, stocking up my supplies of fruits and vegetables.

Then, I felt hungry. The rows of junk food, and the availability of fast food truly tempted me. It was so tempting to just fill my grocery basket with junk food and ice cream.

Then I remembered that I have made a resolution to myself last year that I shall make an effort to cut down on empty calories and eat only healthy food.

It truly wasnt easy, peeling myself away from the colourful junk food aisle. In no time, I was home, and I quickly devoured a sweet mango I just purchased. Mmmm...the taste of fresh mango. Yummy.

This is what I meant earlier in my post about change in lifestyle. Weight loss just isnt about the 3 months of dieting. The 3 months is simple, of replacing some of your meals with FitLine Gourmet Shake. The true challenge is AFTER the 3 months, where you are constantly bombarded by fast food Ads, the pasar malam with their array of snacks, etc. This is when you remind yourself that you have lost the kgs and dont want to go through the ordeal of losing the bulging fats again. This is when you tell yourself that you want to live healthily and want to look and feel good.

I'm so proud of myself ! Two pats on the back for conquering mind over matter! *Clap* Clap*

Anyone wants to join me in living and eating healthily?

From 75kg to 59kg...

The old me, at 75kg

The new me, at 59kg

The other day, met up with this prospect to share about FitLine. She is about 10kg above her ideal weight.

Since my greatest testimony with FitLine is my weight loss, I automatically fished out my 'before FitLine' (75kg) and 'after FitLine' (59kg). She immediately said to me that she is happy with her weight. OK. fine. looks like someone is in denial, like how I was for the many years before I finally decided to lose weight.

Well, that's the thing about weight loss and many other things in life. First things first. Need to admit that we are overweight.I was heavy and I was fine about my size. Losing weight was too much work. Exercising is not in my vocabulary. I love to eat. And when it finally hit me, I had to do what I had to do. So I decided to shed the kilos. Wasnt easy. Took a lot of determination. But most importantly, lifestyle change.

Now I enjoy exercising. I do it daily. Heck, I'm even going up Mount Kinabalu next year! I still love to eat. But I watch what I eat. Cut down on fried and oily food and lots of fresh fruits and vege. And I have maintained my weight since May 2008.Weight loss is a lifestyle change. Not a 3-4 months change.And the best part of showing my pictorial testimony - "Was this YOU???" Love that moment :) And yes, the pictures in this post are ME.

So wanna know how I did it? Just drop me a line. If I can do it, so CAN you!

Excuse me, what did you do to lose weight?

I was doing my usual evening walk today, when a fellow walker staying in my condominium stopped and asked.

"Excuse me, you have lost a LOT of weight. What have you been doing?"

This is the moment that I always LOVE. People notice my weight loss, people stop to ask me how it's done, etc. And the best part is, I enjoy my current lifestyle of exercise and living healthily.

I'm currently 59kg, having lost 8kg in 3 months. And I have maintained my weight, since May 2008. I eat my meals, but of course, avoid oily and deep fried food. So I get the kicks too, when people ask me whether I eat rice or carbohydrate. The fact is, I still love to eat. Just that I choose what to eat. I avoid calorie laden food which lacks nutrition.

And when I exercise, I feel good. And when I feel good, I am able to perform better in my daily activities. And it's a cycle. A good cycle I should say.

And you must be wondering, how does the diet program work? Simple. You only need 3 months to start off with. After that, it's your choice whether you still want to lose more.

Month 1 - Replace breakfast and dinner with FitLine Gourmet Shake. Lunch - low carbohydrate. Lots of fruits and vege. Lots of plain water. No soda, coffee, alcohol. No snacking

Month 2 & 3 - Replace breakfast with FitLine Gourmet Shake. Lunch & dinner - low carbohydrate. Lots of fruits and vege. Lots of plain water. No soda. Little coffee, alcohol. No snacking

So that's it. Simple plan. And it WORKS! (cos many people, including myself did it)
