If this is the one and only post you have read of mine- good! THIS IS THE BEST ONE! I am so excited to say that all this hard work PAID OFF! And the best part is- this is just the beginning, I am going to CONTINUE to lose weight and become more healthy!!
First of all, THANK YOU Advocare for these products and this challenge that helped me get this far. I honestly would not have been able to do this without their help- so easily anyway (without starving myself!!)
Before I go into the results- I must say that one of the biggest things I have taken away from this challenge- is not that I lost some weight, or that I feel better about myself- but that I learned something very valuable that I will cherish- a lifestyle change. I learned (and am still learning!) how to live a healthy lifestyle while living my normal life! I loved doing this challenge (versus other "diets") because how I ate during the challenge is how I can continue eating! This was not a diet that is going to force me back to eating junk because "I missed it" or I was starved the whole time. I ate food, meals, and snacks that I can realistically continue and enjoy!! I am building a habit. I am making a change. I am walking into a direction to be a better and more healthier me. And that is something that no money can buy, no product can do, and no one can give me but myself. It was a self decision. A choice. A sacrifice. BUT SO WORTH IT!
OK ENOUGH with the sappy-ness... lets get on to results!!
To start out with- in only 24 days (even less than a month's worth of time!)
I lost a total of 8 pounds!
Now poundage is always nice to lose but I believe more valuable to me are the other numbers I am about to tell you...
I lost 4.5 inches total off my waist, hips, and thighs! (1.5 off my waist, 1 off my hips and 2 off my thighs!)
AND THEN even MORE SO.. Before I started, my body fat % was 30%. Average they say is 25-31%.
I lost 3.3% Body Fat bringing me down to 26.7%!!
BMI I went from 26.3 to 24.9!!! Normal is 18.5 to 24.9- I am now within normal range!
I am so pleased with my results! And the best part is- I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TO LOSE! OH YEAH!!!
AND I am also SO PROUD of my partners in crime, who stuck with me through this challenge with me. Luke lost a total of 12 pounds and 1.5% body fat!! I am so proud of him! And my faithful companion J.V. lost 6lbs, 1% body fat (and she was already in the "fitness" range!), and a total of 5.5 inches! And the best part is- we did this all within 24 days and we will continue to keep losing!!!
The 24 day challenge was the best thing I could have done for my body. I have so much more energy (especially with a 3 month old!), I feel great, and losing weight, and will continue it!
THANK YOU to those that have supported me! I could not have done this without my hubby, my friend J, my sis and my family.
THANK YOU FOR READING!!
PS- If you would like to hear more about how I did the challenge with Advocare- please ask me! I had such a great experience and would love to help others have the same!
