Weight Loss Progress Update 1    
Date 7/28/09
Highest weight:    252 lbs
Current weight:    236 lbs
Goal Weight:        135 lbs

So I've lost 16 lbs so far since mid-February following the RightSize plan (and not always faithfully by any means).  That's a great accomplishment and I'm proud of it, but I realized something this week. I can't get complacent with these smaller victories.  As great as I felt about my current loss, today is one of those days I wish I could just unzip the fat suit.

I saw myself in vacation photos...ugh...and realize that the work is not done.  It's important to celebrate the mini-victories, but then we have to focus on the next goal. Use the momentum of each milestone to propel you to the next. I do look different and feel different than I did 16 pounds ago, but now I'm focused on how great it will feel to lose the next 15 pounds, and how amazing I will look and feel 101 pounds from now.

The plan is to reach my goal weight by my 10th wedding anniversary in May.  My second decade of marriage will not be spent overweight, tired, and hiding from the camera.  I will be alive and present for my 4 beautiful daughters who need me.  I can do it. One choice at a time.

My current plan?  I replace breakfast and lunch with RightSize during the work week and eat a normal balanced dinner.  I supplement with Slimminade in between meals for extra appetite control and to increase my fiber and water intake. My vices are eating late at night when I should just go to bed, and getting off track on the weekend. I keep a food journal for tracking calorie consumption, and I don't go to the gym currently - but I should - it would really speed things along. Just gotta make some time! The majority of my exercise right now comes from walking the dog at night or playing with the kids in the pool.  I am proof that you can lose weight with RightSize without having to change your activity level. It's simple calorie math. But as I drop weight, I'm excited about getting back into exercise and speeding my results by adding some lean muscle.

Goals for this week:
Go to gym 3 times and do 30 minutes of moderate cardio each time and some light weights with high reps after
Stick to 1400 calories per day
Consume 64 oz of water per day

Have a recipe or tip to share? Comment here!

I'll share mine with you...

If you are like me and not a fan of milk consumption, try mixing any of the flavors with soy milk, or my personal favorite - Almond milk.  What? Almond Milk?    Yes!!! Almond milk!!!   Find Almond Breeze in the refrigerated or dry isle of your grocery store near the rice milk or other milk alternatives.  It is low in sugar and fat, high in vitamins and omega's and will give your Lean Cocoa Bean, SkinniVanilli, or Leano Cappuccino a great subtle nutty flavor.  Almond milk comes in original, vanilla, and chocolate - and is completely dairy and gluten free!

Another great idea mentioned in the comments on another blog is mixing your SkinniVanilli or Slend-a-Berry with OJ. I've tried that myself and it is delicious!!! Using the Tropicana 50 is a great idea for less sugar.

Prefer a higher protein smoothie?  Mix your favorite vanilla protein powder with any of our flavors in your liquid of choice for a high protein RightSize smoothie.

Alright! let the comments fly... I can't wait to see everyone's ideas!
