Weight Loss Journey

For the last few years the scale and I have not been friends, however about 4 weeks ago I hit my highest weight and decided that I had had enough. right about the same time a friend of my mom's talked us into trying Figure 8 by Arbonne, who she is a consultant for, I have tried shake replacements before and have been starving within and hour, so I took her sample pack with some skepiticism and tried it. I was truely surprised I loved the Vanilla and I stayed full till lunch (The trick is in the fiber suppliment they suggest adding in). I liked the idea of the shake in the morning because I don't eat breakfast I never have time, but with the shake it was really easy to get breakfast in me. I was convinced along with my mom. So we signed up to give it a try. I decided to join weight watches online as well to help me track my regular food points throughout the day. As well as hitting the Gym or pool 3 -4 times a week. (which I had been doing for about a month)

My beginning weight on Sunday, March 7th was 197 (not a fun number for me at all). I drank the shake in the morning and tracked points all day as well.

I weighed in Sunday March 14th and had to weigh in twice I was at 191.5, I was shocked, I felt better and felt like I lost some weight but not 5.5 lbs.

This past Sunday March 21 I didn't expect any weight lose (I was bloated and on my cycle sorry if that is TMI) but the scale read 189, I was excited, 2.5 lbs down.

I'm feeling great and I'm looking forward to continuing to see those numbers drop. But I know it is going to get harder every week but I excited to be off to such a great start, it differently has me motivated!!!
