Mark MacDonald here. MonaVIe's Nutrition and Fitness Expert.
I in Anaheim California.
And we are at the Acceler8 Convention
rocking it MonaVie style. And we are talking about the RVLution
and how this program is sweeping North America.
And changing peoples lives. And I have one of
my dearest friends here. Ian,
and Ian and I met and he said he wanted to
take his body to the next level. I met him in a workout
and I want you to understand Ian's journey and story.
Ian is down 130 pounds.
Ian, what does that feel like to be
down that weight? Ian: it's incredible.
I've got a long way to go. I got to lose about another
160 pounds, but the change in my life
has been phenomenal. Every little thing
people who are not really large, don't have a
concept of that everything you
do and every function I take, I have you strapped to my back.
And that 130 pounds,
it totally changed my outlook,
I had a bad accident that brought me here. And I didn't like
what my personality had become. Negative and so on.
And it just changes everything.
It changes everything in your life and I am so thankful
Mark, I am so thankful for you.
It's great. The RVLution
If I
can do it, anyone can do it. I've dieted my entire life.
And this works.
Mark: What was the thing when you were
130 heavier, what was the thing that said, "I'm going to make
the change?" Ian: I had
a motto that I've always understood,
and it gets a point.
The pain to change has to be less than the pain to remain the same.
Mark: I like that.
Ian: And I had just gotten tired.
I couldn't blame anyone else.
And I believe that Randy... somebody was making that thing
a comment today in the training
If you want to change,
you've got to make the change. Anything you do
Or anything you say means nothing if I don't
take it to heart and I don't use it.
Mark: And did you just do something special
today? Because we had a 5K this morning
Tell us about that 5K. What was that huge accomplishment
you just achieved?
Ian: Well, I got bandages on my hand.
Yes, I
Last convention, I volunteered and I wanted
to step it up this convention
I knew to do the walk would have been too much pain.
I have to have my hips replaced due to my accident.
I've got an artificial knee
and a broken back. I've got two fractured vertebrae. But I wanted to do something.
I got a chair I hadn't used a chair since my first knee surgery.
30 some odd years ago, and I just
whatever it took. And I wheeled
I didn't get the whole 5K in. But
I'm happy with three. I got it done
and it was such a sense of accomplishment for me.
I had so much support from everybody.
For me, I was out there to support them too.
Because it's a group effort. We're trying to do this
stuff, the 90 day RVLution.
A lot of the people are on their way. And we're doing this for the kids
in Brazil for the MORE Project.
A more meaningful life.
How much more meaningful can that be?
Take this to the people. Everybody can benefit
from this. To gain weight
to lose weight, or to just be healthy.
The energy you get from this nutritional meal.
It's so easy to just eat poorly.
And I've drove a truck for 15 years.
And you go into the restaurants and the bi-ways
And the little places to go. And all the cheap
food is garbage.
And to get the good stuff ...and here I can just take it
with me, I can be prepared and I can be healthy.
And convenient all the time.
Mark: You're down 130 pounds. You're an inspiration to
everyone and I know you're still in your journey.
And you have the community that allows it.
What's the one thing that you feel that will inspire someone else
to take action?
Ian: Just get your life back.
I didn't realize
how much I had shut my life off.
What I gained and what makes me feel the best is to
open someone else's eyes to that.
To bring it to somebody else. To get your life back.
I'm doing stuff I haven't done in years.
Mark: Do you feel you're on the right path and you have the right tools to
forever make your health a priority and achieve all the goals you want to?
Ian: Yes. I've done program
after program. My entire adult
life and I've been fighting with this. And thanks to you,
and the RVLution, I've
fought my last battle. This is it. This is the product.
I will be using this in some way shape or form
for the rest of my life. Mark: We're from Anaheim California,
Ian is down 130 pounds. He inspires us all.
He just did his first 5K.
We love you, Ian thanks for everything.
