Rev Muffin Challenge Results!!!!

Three months ago, Jay and I were selected to take part in a challenge to lose weight by eating Rev Muffins. www.revmuffin.com The challenge was to eat one muffin 15 minutes before each meal with 16 oz of water. That's it. We were allowed to eat anything we wanted for our meals except fried foods. And we were allowed to drink anything except regular sodas and alcohol. Simple enough. :) The muffins taste great and work wonders for keeping us full and satisfied.

Jay and I decided early on that we were ready to take getting healthy seriously. Instead of eating our normal junk food and snacking ALL the time, we incorporated more fruit and vegetables into our meals. We made better choices in our food overall. I immediately began working out when I started the challenge. Trying to get at least 20 minutes of cardio in three times a week. Jay didn't begin his cardio work until the last month of the challenge. *showoff* :)

So today is the last day of the Rev Muffin Challenge and we are ready (and excited) to show you our results!

Jay started the challenge weighing in at 207 lbs.

This morning Jay reached his goal and weighed in at 180 lbs! 27 pounds melted away!! He went down two pants sizes.

I started the challenge weighing 239lbs. *shudder*


Week 1                                                                                                            Week 12




This morning I weighed in at 205 lbs! A total loss of 34lbs. I am well on my way to my ultimate goal of losing 99 pounds. :)


And now for another really exciting announcement....

Eric (the creator of the amazing Rev Muffin) has offered to keep me on the rev muffin program for a while longer!! He was really impressed with the results from Jay and I. Since Jay has reached his goal and I'm still a LONG way from mine, he asked me to keep it up! :) I'm totally pumped about having this opportunity. And I'm excited to keep you all up to date on my progress.

And to Eric...Thank you again so much for giving Jay and I this gift. It was exactly what we needed to get our lives back. I don't think I could ever truly express to you how much this has helped us. We are forever grateful.
