And the total weight loss is…..

December 20, 2012 by Jennifer 2 Comments

The last six months have been an amazing transformation. I have not felt so great about myself in a really LONG time. I have been on a weight loss journey with Shaklee. I hope you have been following along with my videos and blog posts as the transformation has rolled out each month in the updates.

Shaklee has really helped me make a lifestyle change and helped change my whole mentality towards food. Listen, I just came off of an 8-day cruise where the most amazing food was available to me for free. The food could have easily ended back up on my hips, but now I have the willpower to say no and eat small portions if I do want to treat myself.

Grab a cup of coffee, hot tea or hot cocoa and listen in on my final 6-month update. See if you see a difference?

Amazing right? I think you can see the new self-confidence in my picture. The old saying goes… Feel like a million bucks. It really feels true right now. On our cruise last week, I was not ashamed of wearing shorts.

Hips: 44 inches

The pictures and video portray my story and it is a story that I am so proud to share with you. I can honestly say, I will stand behind this product and recommend it to everyone that wants to make a lifestyle change. It has changed my life and it can change your life too.

The best Christmas present I could receive… a HEALTHY body!

Food can be an addiction. Through this whole journey, my mind has changed so much on how I view food. It was no problem for me to eat the girls leftovers. Now, I think before I bite into a piece of food. Is the food worth it? For me, it is not worth the sluggish feeling, the depression and the overall look. Healthy food can be so delicious. You just need to take the time to meal plan, cook healthy dinners, exercise and drink your daily water intake.

Shaklee provides delicious meal bars. My favorite will always be the peanut butter chocolate bars. The snack bars gives you that extra boost in the afternoons. My favorite is the peanut butter snack bar. The shakes can be changed in so many ways. Add the different fruits, peanut butter, pumpkin… the varieties are endless. It helps to make a lifestyle change when the food tastes delicious right?

Thank you so MUCH Shaklee!!

20 pounds gone on my Cinchspiration Journey!

We are at the end of month five of my Shaklee Cinchspiration Journey. Before I go any further, take a couple minutes and check out my video update.

I am just a little bit excited right? YES!

That is a SMALL Lands’ End dress. Here is proof.

I received this dress from BlogHer back at the beginning of August from the Lands’ End event. When the dress came in the mail, I was so eager to try on the dress since I did not take the time to try on the dress at the event. Much to my dismay, the dress was not fitting me. Ugly fat rolls were showing and I was so disappointed. Here almost four months later, I fit in the dress perfectly. My self-esteem just increased. I look at the picture and just feel like a million bucks. Finally, I love my body and seeing myself in pictures.

The Cinch Inch Loss Plan works and I am proof. It really is a inch-loss plan. 20 pounds, I just have to say… I will not see you again. Thanks, Jen!

Cinchspiration Weight Loss Journey Update – Month Four

October 30, 2012 by Jennifer 2 Comments

Can you believe it has been four months since I started the Cinchspiration Weight Loss Journey?

I am feeling so wonderful and have such a better self-esteem. It is amazing what weight can do to your attitude and overall feeling about life. You can really see the difference in my pictures. I took my update picture yesterday.

I am officially down 18.5 pounds. I am SO excited. The cinch plan really works. Several people have asked how I do the plan. Here is what a day usually looks like for me.

Breakfast:
Cinch Shake or Meal Bar
Fresh Fruit

Lunch:
Cinch Shake or Meal Bar
Fresh Fruit
Salad

Snack:
Cinch Snack Bar
Fresh Fruit or Vegetables

Dinner:
Regular dinner with usually consisting of a meat and two vegetables, pasta dish or crock pot meal.

Snack:
Fresh Fruit, Popcorn, Yogurt etc. – Low calories

Every once in a while I will sneak in a little chocolate bar but it is all about portion control and knowing my limits. My whole attitude toward food has changed and I stop myself before I put something in my mouth. Also, I am on week three of being gluten free. Over the past couple of years, my body has had to rely on stomach medicines and I was just tired of it. So, I really have to watch my foods closely. More coming on this in another post.

The cinch weight loss plan really promotes itself as the inch loss plan. This is so true as you can see in my pictures above.

Weight Loss Journey Update #4 – {Shaklee Giveaway}

August 22, 2012 by Jennifer 99 Comments

We are at the end of two months. The days and weeks are flying by, but now the months are just whizzing by. I could not be more proud of my weight loss journey. Check out this smile.

The smile tells all right? I feel like my whole life has changed in the last two months. My whole eating mentality has definitely changed for the better. Someone can offer me a high calorie dessert, what do I do? Just say no thanks. If that would have been two months ago, I would have ate the dessert. It was in my mentality that I would exercise in order the burn the dessert off later, but the later was never accomplished.

As you saw with my last update, it really is an easy journey with the Shaklee Cinchspiration plan. It fits perfect into your busy life and I am proof you get results. As of last Friday, I am down 14 pounds. That is seven pounds a month. The weight is obviously not falling off of me rapidly, but I feel this is a great and steady loss.

My tape measure is missing. I hope it shows up in the next few days as I am very curious how many inches I am down on the Shaklee Cinchspiration plan. It is called the inch loss plan for a reason.

What has the last two months accomplished for ME?

1. More confidence

2. Better self-esteem

3. Can exercise better

4. I feel better <----- This is huge and worth it all! Earlier this month, I was able to hang out with Sommer Poquette. She is the social media manger with Shaklee and actually has went on her own weight loss journey. It was so inspiring to see how far she has come and she her beautiful smile shine.

Since Fall is around the corner, I would love to do a pumpkin spice shake with the vanilla shake. Look for a post coming soon. Right now, I am still in love with the chocolate and peanut butter shake, blueberry and banana shake and the caffe latte shake.

Would you like to try the Cinchspiration plan? You are in luck!

Shaklee and I would like to offer you the opportunity to win a Cinch starter kit – a two week supply and retail value of $228.00.
