18 down, 15-20 more to go

So I am starting my second 30 day plan and keeping my fingers crossed to follow it to the dot. As I did cheated couple of times in my last 30 day run and still lost 18 lbs so I am just thinking how much I’ll lose if I follow it religiously lol. Luckily I didn’t gained any weight during my 2 week off despite of my vacationing and celebrating but I was making healthy choices while dining out (not always though lol). So my next target is to move the scale from 149 to some where 130+. But even if I lose more inches from some of the troubled parts and not the weight I’ll be a happy camper.

Also registered 2 of my close friends on the plan, I didn’t even realized how easy this plan is to follow till one of these friends who has kids and commutes daily for 2 hrs to go to work told me about that. She said that not to worry about 2 meals itself is helpful and the shakes are wholesome and filling. She had tried Nutrisystem and Weight Watchers earlier. I work from home so this didn’t even crossed my mind.

The other friend works for Weight Watchers and had been a dedicated follower of the points plan for past 4 years since I have known her. She does a lot at gym also including Jazzercise and cross training etc. but she wanted to lose 8-10 lbs that have been stubborn so let’s see how does that help..

If you don't mind, can u please share what 30 day plan you have been on?

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

What exactly made you want to make this life changing decision to shed those pounds? how do you avoid those cravings?

Have you seen my before pix lol?? I think it hit me when people started asking me which month I was in :smack:
the program comes with shakes which are filling so you don’t get hunger pangs, it also has different snacks like chocolates and bars so they help in the cravings.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

Another attempt to make money out of people's helplessness. Shame!

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

^^^as long as it’s working for people that would like to make this change in their lives and it doesn’t look like one of those diets that would cause harm, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

proud of you and I hope you keep going with the healthy eating after you get to your goal weight. Since I lost 20 pounds in 6 months, it’s 5 pounds up and down now especially during the special occasions. Cravings and keeping up with working out is tough.

what would you do if someone you love gives you a box of Swiss chocolates right now? Someone gave me chocos last Thursday and here I am trying to lose 5 pounds :bummer:

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

Well selling these plans at a ridiculous amount is no good na! It shud be realistic.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

so what do you do when you have to go out.. party's..weddings..etc?

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

300$ for a 30 day plan is not ridiculous if you do a little math and add the cost of 2 meals and coffee daily which this plan is replacing. For me it's still cheaper then paying high medical bills later.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

That is where I did some cheating but I did tried my best to follow the plan like only have BBQ as it's grilled or veggies/daal so the only fear is that it will have salt and regular oil.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

I’ll put them away and eat them later after the program as a reward of my dedication :bummer: not the whole box though lol

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

I did shakes before, I did tablets, gyms but my problem is that I dont like to told what to eat, I eat what I like, but I control my portions and skip certain things like rice, roti, bread during evening.

My progress is not so fast as simas but I would like to compare after sima you are done with the second month, how u keep your weight, coz when you start eating normal, you can/might gain more as now.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

I was not precisely talking about your plan in particular, it was a general comment. Don't worry the kind of hard work you have put in, your commissions are going nowhere :).

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

Easier said than done girly. Well you have more self control than me because a box of Swiss chocolates would be completely empty if it’s in front of me. So those rewards end up costing me a 2-3 pound increase.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

^ May be that's the case I don't know. I went to cheesecake factory last weekend and was not following the plan at that time. I found my favorite cheesecake to be tooooo sweet and was able to eat only couple of spoons, the rest was finished by my husband. I think it's because of the lifestyle change that I have eliminated sugar to a certain extent, I don't seem to like sweet stuff any more.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

I am crossing my fingers for that too :cb:.
I did took some time off (around 15 days) the plan and didn’t saw any changes in the weight that I have already lost but again that might be because I was use to the lifestyle by then and was making healthy choices.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

ok a quick update. Lost another 4 lbs after my first cleanse cycle but I am more happier about the 1 size reduction of the bust :khatti::khatti: (and I love this smiley even if it does not represent me lol ). Now I am thinking to keep shake as my lunch alternative even when I am off the plan as I am mostly busy to cook something for myself at lunch, they are full of protein and the icing on cake they are delicious and addictive lol

As in case of my friends one has lost 4 lbs but she is not feeling the pains and aches she used to have before the plan. The other one loves it as she doesn’t feel hungry and is still energetic to do her regular stuff like hot yoga and Jazzercize. She still haven’t weighed herself yet but noticed that her clothes are a little bit loose. Can’t wait for their 30 end results to come.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

I am keeping tabs on the information of the isagenix through their FB isaMasterminds Group to see if I need to move in to it. I will let you know once I need to get going.

Re: 18 down, 15-20 more to go

Also check the IsaTestimonials page as that one gives a lot of motivation.
