We may found the way to help millions of overweight Americans and people from around the world, by taking the Melaleuca's program, that many are likely to view as a miracle Program for slimming waistlines.

Helping fight the nation's obesity epidemic while avoiding exposing people to unnecessary risks inclutting birth defects and heart problems.

The Food and Drug Administration has been under considerable pressure from lawmakers and patient groups to approve a new obesity drug for the first time in 13 years.

There is also plenty of history with diet drugs that makes the FDA cautious.

The infamous diet drug "fen-phen" was pulled from the market in 1997 after reports of sometimes fatal heart-valve problems. Another diet pill, Meridia, was removed in 2010 after it was linked to heart problems.

"How will these medications be limited in their distribution?... so we don't have a repeat of the fen-phen days when people were opening up clinics on every corner, selling these pills for cosmetic purposes?" asked Joseph Nadglowski, chief executive officer of the Obesity Action Coalition, a patient and advocacy group.

Also, the drug will likely only be recommended for obese patients who have a body mass index over 30, or are overweight but have weight-related health issues. A normal BMI is below 25.

It was these restrictions that ultimately convinced 20 out of 22 outside advisers to the FDA to recommend approval of the drug last week, after an expert panel rejected the drug in 2010.

However, regulators have little power to force doctors to stick to this restrictive program because physicians have latitude to prescribe FDA-approved drugs for other uses, known as "off label."

In addition, the drugs are already approved for other conditions, raising the possibility some doctors may already be prescribing them for weight loss.

The FDA acknowledged that it is difficult to craft a restrictive program that sticks. "We struggled with this internally, but we did not find a perfect solution to this problem," Joyce Weaver, senior analyst in the FDA's division of risk management, told the advisers last week.

There has been a clamor from patient groups, doctors and lawmakers for the FDA to provide more weight-loss options. Patients who struggle with strict diet and exercise regimens, but do not want the risks of bariatric surgery.

A Senate appropriations committee has directed the FDA to provide a report by the end of March on how it plans to support the development of new obesity treatments.

Obesity, a leading cause of diabetes, heart disease and other serious health problems, has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with nearly 68 percent of the U.S. population considered overweight, and a third obese.

Analysts predict that Melaleuca's management program, will be used widely, with annual sales of $1 billion to $3 billion.

FDA staff reviewers said patients taking the drug had more safety problems, including memory loss and higher heart rates, than those on a placebo. They also said exposure to topiramate has been linked to a higher rate of oral clefts in infants of women taking the drug during pregnancy.

Experts worry subtle messages of risk versus benefit may slip past people desperate to shed pounds, and there is little the FDA can do to stop them.

"Perhaps the only thing that would be better than a pill to help you lose weight would be Melaleuca's management program". "In fact, many fashion advertisers promote and equate beauty with the loss of weight.

"There is going to be a huge demand for Melaleuca's management system program...

BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

You've just been asked to put together a jigsaw puzzle. Having done many such puzzles, you're excited to get started. You pour out all 1,000 pieces, spreading them out across a large table. You then pick up the lid of the box and look at what you're putting together. But there's no picture! It's blank! How will you ever be able to finish the puzzle without knowing what it looks like, you wonder? If you only had a one-second glimpse of what it's supposed to be. That's all you need one picture of the finished product.
What a difference it would make! Without it, putting together the puzzle will take a really long long time....

Now think about your life and your 1000 pieces. What is the clear picture of who you want to be one year from now? Who is in the picture with you? What are you Being, Doing and Having?

So now grab a pen..start writin!...put your picture on paper...and over the next year watch your miracles come together.

Understand what Bobby Knight meant when he said; "The will to succeed is important, and what's more
important is the will to prepare."
Here's what I've learned about goals and goal setting from my 20+ years of studying success and succesful people;

1. You MUST acknowledge where you're starting from and just because you haven't done something before... doesn't mean you can't learn to do it now and/or in the near future.
2. Your goals MUST be bigger than you..especially to the point of scaring you. Example; "We're Creating a Global organization of Extraordinary individuals Dedicated to Loving, Learning and Connecting with Grace and Abundance"
3. They MUST be Specific. Example; if your goal is a new car...What year, make, model, color, features etc.
Fluffy language like I want "more money", "more time", "more love" ...gives your brain zero info and gets you less of those things.
4. You MUST attach a time frame. Goals are simply Dreams with a deadline. no deadline = no urgency = no have.
5. You MUST never ask "How"...only "WHY". The how will be provided along the path of your journey.
6. You MUST attach a big, detailed, emotionally significant "WHY" to each of your goals. Example, If your goal is $5000. a month....that's great...but you don't want that because you want 5000 pictures of George Washington for your bathroom wall.....there's a "WHY" behind that...what will achieving that allow you to Be, Do and Have?
A Great way to focus your "WHY" is to ask yourSelf how achieving any particular goal will benefit others.
And finally they must be read and re-read mutiple times per day, everyday. Most people grossly overestimate what they can do in a year..... and grossly underestimate what they can do in a decade.

"MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS."

You probably heard this growing up, and probably
still hear it today. Yet, it’s interesting to note that
most people who offer up this tidbit usually don’t
have much money.
The truth is … money really can’t buy happiness.
But it CAN buy freedom – the freedom to live life
100% on your own terms.
And that can make you very, VERY happy.
If you’re tired of working just to get by …
If you’re ready to earn double, triple, or maybe
even 10 times your current income …
If you’re ready to finally achieve financial freedom
and make work optional…

Remember, money doesn’t buy happiness, but it
can buy FREEDOM: freedom of choice, to be able to do
what you enjoy doing and not be forced to do things just
because you need ‘the money.’ Discover how to achieve
financial freedom within the next 3 years

It’s true that running a business is hard work. But
you’re already working hard, whether you work for
yourself or someone else. As Harv says, “If you’re
going to work hard anyway, you might as well get
rich… and the quicker the better.”
