My Rev Muffin Journey, my pictures and my thanks.

24 weeks ago, Eric Tonips offered me a chance to help change my life. He wanted me to try out his amazing Rev Muffins to help me lose weight. I tipped the scale at 239 pounds. The plan was simple. Eat one muffin 15 minutes before each meal with 16 oz of water. No fried foods. No alcohol. No sodas.

Today I completed my Rev Muffin journey. www.revmuffin.com My weight is now 191 pounds. I've shed 48 pounds and lost almost 18 inches from my body. I've dropped almost 3 pants sizes. (just a couple more pounds to size 16)

If there is anyone out there that is serious about kicking off their weight loss with something that keeps your appetite in check, please try out the Rev Muffin. The results speak for themselves.

My weight loss journey is still far from over, but I have to thank Eric for giving me a chance to become the person I was meant to be. :) I feel so much better physically and emotionally.

I'll continue to post weekly on this blog to keep everyone up to date on my weight loss. Only 2 pounds away from a total loss of 50 pounds!!  WOO HOO!!

A major change and the weigh in

I'm down just under a pound this week. 192.2. The stomach virus I had at the beginning of last week did not help me. I thought maybe I might lose more since I swear my entire system was cleaned out with that virus. lol Next week is my next set of pics. And I need a haircut. It's getting ridiculous. (do you think my hair weighs anything? probably not)

Jay and I are in for a pretty major change starting today... Jeralyn, our middle child, is officially living with us. She will stay with us at least through the end of the school year. She is struggling with her grades and attitude so we decided the best way to help her was to have her come live with us and go to a new school. We are hoping with the one on one attention and help, she will be able to succeed. *and I'm much more likely to cook healthier with her at the house so hopefully this will benefit us as well!*

Good news and bad news...

I'll start with the good news... I weighed in yesterday and the scale showed 193.0 lbs! Two more pounds gone. A total of 46 lbs so far. So close to the 50 lb goal and so close to weighing less than my husband! So looking forward to that day. :)

The bad news...I'm got some sort of stomach bug and I'm at home today. I'm staying hydrated but not eating much. The thought of food is so not appealing. Here's hoping to a speedy recovery. *maybe it will give me a good start to my weight loss this week.* lol

PS- To Sandra my yoga instructor...I promise I'm coming back. You will for sure see me on the 17th. *my little doggie is having surgery tomorrow and I need to stay home with him* :(
