Donna's Diet Diary

Looking forward to swim suit season? Me neither! So when I received an email regarding a Minimus customer losing 40 pounds and 4 dress sizes, I had to know her secret! It inspired me and I hope it inspires you too! Here's her story:

“My husband and I planned a winter cruise. I was about 50 pounds or so heavier than I wanted to be and my husband was about 100 pounds over. Dared each other to lose 25 pounds before the cruise....

We talked with a physician. He advised us to make this a life change, not a diet. Diets never stick.... The physician said to work toward less than 30 grams of fat combined with less than 45 grams of sugar per day. Sounded pretty good to me. Start Date: November 1, 2006.

So we tried. It took hours to grocery shop, just for 2!! Then we realized, we eat out practically every day. And, I travel quite a bit with my work. What to do then? I jumped on the internet and found Minimus.biz.

All the individual servings are wonderful !!!! I discovered that it is much easier to just go ahead and eat out (and we all know that is a great feeling when trying to lose weight.) Ordering shis-ka-bobs, salad with grilled chicken, steamed veggies, just about anything we wanted. The magic was the packets I have been purchasing from you. They have allowed us to enjoy the flavor of anything.

I ALWAYS carry Kraft® Fat Free Ranch Dressing , Kraft® Fat Free Mayonnaise , A1® Steak Sauce ..... All "free" on the life change program. This is what has totally saved us. Yes, Minimus.biz is a lifesaver. We can eat almost what we want. Carrying your products with us allows that. Anything can be made good. Even steamed veggies...add a little Kraft Free Ranch, and good to go.

I have learned that, even when dining professionally or with friends, people really respect the fact that we are trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. Instead of laughing or scoffing, they want to know where we bought the individual packets! It is great!

Long story short, since 11-1-06, I have gone from size 14 to a 6 (size 4 in some jeans), down 40 pounds, and my husband has gone from size 44 to 38, down 50 pounds and almost off the high blood pressure medication. Thanks to you and your products, it has worked and it is really easy.

Try a baked potato with the ranch, steamed veggies with ranch, A-1 on chicken, salad with Kraft Free of your choice, add a grilled chicken breast, good to go! It works and is easy! (Even pretzels dipped in dressing for a snack is good.)

Just waiting for Kraft to put fat free tartar sauce in an individual packet!

Oh, the Kraft® Free Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing is really good! Being able to order small numbers of items is great. It will let you try different things.

It worked for me, and is a life change, not really a diet. I love weighing 137 (at 5'7" tall...)

Thanks to all of you at Minimus.biz!”

CUSTOMER STORIES: Iowa State Cyclones

We recently had the Iowa State Cyclones basketball program order several yellow ponchos from us, and they sent us a nice letter and photos from the game. We look forward to more interesting stories from our customers. It is always exciting for our staff to see where our work ends up:

"I wanted to thank you for working with us with the ponchos that we wore for the Nebraska vs Iowa State game. They were a big hit and almost the whole student section loved them. They were a totally off the wall prop for our student section and was very well received. I'm sending you a couple pictures from the student section during the game. Thanks a lot again and we will look forward to working with you again next year." -- Thanks, Pat M., Ames, IA

Fan Mail

We get a lot of email from our customers excited to have found us, and excited with receiving their order. While we don't do it that often, I thought it would be a good time to take a moment and feature a little thank you note we received last week. If we were to write a commercial, I don't know if we could have done it better:

"My daughter has grown up and moved off to Hollywood as a struggling model/actress. She lives in a wee, tiny little apartment and Minimus.biz sizes and variety are perfect for her. She loved getting her assortment of over 200 pieces I hand selected for her off the internet; I may be far away in Texas, but Minimus.biz lets me mother from afar! I have been able to outfit her for this upcoming winter cold and flu season with meds and even a few thermometers. It pays to be prepared. Hot chocolate, hand warmers (awesome product!!!), easy-to-prepare soups--all of it--says "I love you honey and I care so much!" She loved all the snacks, treats and toiletries so much! I'm getting ready to fly out to California to see her, and now I'm getting ready by placing my order with Minimus.biz for all the little and efficient jars of goodies for my hotel fridge! And why should I worry about packing toiletries when Minimu.biz can do it for me!
