Today (1/14) I am starting a new challenge with AdvoCare and the PowerFactory (my gym). They are doing a fitness challenge. AdvoCare is offering $1,000 for the distributor that has had the greatest transformation. This not only includes pounds lost but also inches lost.
My goal for this challenge is 15 lbs!!!! It is a 10 week adventure and I am excited to begin.....

Woo Hoo!!!!! Success Story
Some good news and a big thank you!
January 2009 I fell and suffered a compression fracture of my T4 vertebrate. Because of this fracture I was scheduled to have a bone density test. As a result of the test it was discovered that I had osteoporosis in my hips and osteopenia in my spine. I was put on Fosamax by my doctor along with generic calcium supplements. Since this time I have started training 2x a week and taking AdvoCare MNS3 and their calcium supplements. When I went for my two-year followup my bone density has increased. I now only have osteopenia in my hips and my spine is osteoporosis free!
Another success story for me because of AdvoCare is:
Last year (4/21/10) my cholesterol numbers were:
Total: 167
LDL (bad): 100
HDL (good): 56
Triglyceride level: 59
This year (4/13/11) they are much better...
Total: 159
LDL (bad): 79
HDL (good): 64
Triglyceride level: 72
I believe this entire change is due to the AdvoCare OmegaPlex! I wasn't taking any type of fish oil before this.
Because of AdvoCare my diet has changed for the better and my supplements are the best that are out there.

Day 20 - 24
Well I finished the 24 day challenge and I lost 5 lbs! Tony lost 7! I am under 150 and working toward the low 140s so that is good. My goal is a size 6 pair of shorts for the summer - we shall see.
The last few days were difficult. A lot of the reasons are silly but they are valid. I just got tired of always being good. I know I said let yourself be bad every once in awhile that way you do feel like you are depriving yourself. I notice that when I am home with the kids all day I do worse than when they are not here or when I am at work. The kids and I snack all day long. I wish I could say they are always good snacks but you know bad snacks always seem to be better :)
I do know that I lost inches because my pants are loose in the leg and waist but no to loose just the right amount. I am very happy with the products and will continue to use them.
I hope that this will help people look at what they want out of life health wise and realize that you can get there with work. The products definitely helped me reach my goals. I realize that the cost seems high but if you look at the cost on a per day basis in about $7.

Well this week has gone a bit better. Even thought I have eaten some treats that aren't really diet friendly :( but you know what you don't get to upset and you start the next meal/snack on the right foot. You can't sabotage the whole thing with one/two/ OK four bad choices.
My meals during the day are always the same (you may have noticed that earlier)
Pre-Breakfast - Spark with Catalyst, Yellow pack in the MNS3 strip pack, my thyroid meds

Day 11 - 14: January 20 - 23
To say I am excited about phase II is an understatement. We get to add back in dairy, wheat products, and coffee! Three of my favorite things. However, you still have to moderate what you are eating. You still need to eat protein, veggies, and fruits.
For the most part here is my menu over those past 4 days:
Breakfast - start with Spark, Catalyst, and vitamins (1st of the MAX strips); then I have a meal replacement shake (I LOVE these)
snack - cup of fruit
lunch - salad with veggies and a meat (chicken or steak)
afternoon snack - this varies (I had humus and veggies, rice cakes with PB, and even had cookies)
afternoon -had some spark
dinner - has been meat, veggie, rice or sweet potatoes.
My weight has dropped another pound! so has Tony's. I am very happy with my weight loss to date. I still need a few more pounds to reach my goal for this 24 days and I have 10 days to go!
