It's all about Math...

To drop weight you have to eat less calories than you burn. Extra exercise helps the math equation...
But the biggest thing is controlling what we eat. It's also the hardest and it's ongoing. You can't work hard to get to where you want to be and then get there and go back to the old ways. It's a nonstop decision making process. It's all about making good choices MOST of the time. I say Most because we all deserve to splurge and enjoy the deliciousness in life.

One Week Challenge.

Alright. Here we go. The challenge starts on Monday, 10/1. We are going to stick to 2 shakes a day. You can have a morning and afternoon snack if you want but it has to be fruit, veggies, or nuts.

It's just 7 days. If you leave for work, then just make your drink in a shaker cup or just make it the night before and freeze. Prepare the night before if you think you will lose track of time in the morning.

After 1 week, everyone is feeling satisfied after drinking the shakes for 3+ hours.
 
Jacquie:  Day 8 - I've lost 1 pound and my pants feel a tiny bit less snug. I love the variety of recipe options! I haven't tried replacing two meals in a day, but may try on lighter workout days.
Goal for the next 10 days-  It would be tough, but I could give up ice cream for 10 days (maybe)
 
Stephanie:  Week #6, Net loss today is 0. I am satisfied with the meal and enjoy the taste.
Goal for the next 10 days- No soda
 
Sabrina: Day 1 :) Starting over. In 30 days, I probably dropped 3 lbs. I need to make some other changes to see more....  I feel good about my shake as my meal but I am craving carbs for my next meal.
Goal for the next 10 days- I am going to give up pop...starting NOW.  uh oh..... well, maybe I'll start tomorrow... hehe
 
Kristine: Day 7. No changed yet.
Satisfied with your shake as your meal? Yes. Nothing usually sounds good to eat so this a super easy option!!
Goal for the next 10 days: I don't really have anything. I just eat these and dinner. No sweets ever.  I would say wine.. but not sure I could go 10 days:)
 
Jenny: Day 52. My pants feel looser and I have lost about 8 pounds.
I really do enjoy the shakes. I switch between fruit based and peanut butter based depending on my mood.
Goal for the next 10 days: Only one cheat day.
 
Supreme 90 Day 8- Complete! Sore but loving it.

I like this.


Jacquie

1) What do you think of the taste of the shake - honestly.
They taste way better than other shakes I've tried. I don't NEED a straw to drink it fast so I don't taste it. I actually take time to enjoy the flavor.

2) What date did you start the shake? What day are you on? Day 1. 9/5.
3) What is your goal for the first 30 days? To establish good balance and control with my eating habits. And, lose 5 lbs.
 
4) What is your goal for 60 days? Body confidence. Lose 5 more lbs.
 
5) What is your goal for 90 days? Lose the last 5 lbs. and finally, after four years, reach my goal weight. Then, maintain.
 
6) You know that diet alone does not make you lose weight. What type of exercise are you willing to try? 2 days a week... 5 days? I generally try to exercise five days...mostly running and some weight training. I need to mix it up more and be consistent with strength training and work on my core. I rely too much on running alone. I'll try just about anything!
 
7) Are you full on the shake? I do feel full. By mid morning I'm ready for a light snack and not already starving for lunch :)
