6 Week Challenge

I'm on Week 3.

It started as an experiment. I was trying to design a tool that would be useful for making small minigoals that people could really focus on - instead of getting bogged down in the idea of spending weeks, months, even years on their weight loss goals. I made a 6 week calendar, (you can get it here), and I've been replacing two meals a day with a smoothie. The remaining meal and snacks that I eat are sensible and well portioned. I'm not counting any calories, or measuring, or weighing anything...just being reasonable.

Well - without changing anything about my exercise level - I have lost 8 pounds in those two weeks. Yay!

I still have a good ways to go, but I'm 8 pounds closer. Everyone loses weight differently, but if you safely eat fewer calories than you burn through metabolism and exercise, you will lose weight. It's just that simple.

So I'm doing the 6 week challenge...what are YOU waiting for?

i have been having weight problems since i was 15 years old. I am now 21 and weight 210 i want to get to my goal weight by the summer which is 140 I have tried everything and i mean everything. I have tried slim fast (didn't work), acai berry pills(didn't work), colon cleanser(kind of worked). I am tired of listening to informercials and going to different websites thinking that they really want to help me lose weight, there isn't a day that goes by that i look in the mirror and cry because of the way I look. So please people if these smoothies don't work please stop pretending that they do because I really want to buy them but I don't know what to believe people who actually lost weight off these products or people who are paid to say they did.

I have been using the smoothies for 6 weeks now and I have lost 22 pounds. One of my favorite smoothies is the vanilla with oj, pineapple chunks and some of the coconut sugar free syrup they sell here. I call it my pina collada smoothie.

I've try the shake on 9-7-2009 I can't believe how good the smoothie taste,it really does help control your hunger I drink and shake in the morning and stay full until dinner.But in between I do eat plenty fruits,almonds,walnuts,yogurts anything that is very healthy for me.Mixing the shake with bananna and skim milk was very good,also I've have mix bananna,silken tofu,and walnuts into the mix on 8-11-2009 that was very good love the taste.Looking forward into trying the vanilla flavor .

I bought the already made chocolate mousse reduce, it has a taste I cannot grasp, but it keeps me from being hungry and that's the idea. I plan to continue drinking them, I want to continue to lose.

Hey! That's a great idea about the soy milk. Maybe I'll see what the vanilla soy's calories are and add it to my lean coco bean. Or just stick with the light soy. Keep coming with the receipes.

I started using the SkinniVanilli powder mixed with plain light soy milk for 2 meals a day (breakfast and lunch) with a small meal of my choice for dinner. So far I've lost 8 lbs. and it's only been two weeks. I have a ton of energy and I'm not thinking about food all day like I used to. I was 144 pounds when I started and now I'm 135. My goal weight is 125 lbs, which is where I always felt my healthiest back in the day. I gained about 15 lbs in one year because I went from working on my feet to working at a desk job where everyone brings in candy, snacks, etc. I ballooned up, so now that I'm on these smoothies, I'm starting to feel more like my happy self again. Thanks!

Started the program 7/28/09. Had lost 5 lbs by week's end, but am back up 2 lbs. Need to obviously adjust calories and increase exercise. Thanks for the tip about Trop 50. Had been using low acid OJ (because of reflux) or skim milk and adding some sort of fruit. Frozen fruit makes thicker smoothies.

I started the shake then I stopped for two weeks and started back up again in the beginning of July around the 4th. I weighed 289 at that time. In two weeks, I lost 20lbs and another week later I lost another 3lbs. I mix mine with orange juice, but it is with Trop 50 it has 50% less cal and suger thus it is 50 cal and tastes great! I am so excited by my weight loss I can't wait until what the future holds for me!

I just started the right size program 2weeks ago and Im very shocked that this work I havent been hungry or craving anything. Loretta I tried it with oj and it tastes great. I try mine with frozen strawberrys and rasberrys I mix them in my berry smoothie. My goal is to lose 120 lbs its a long way to go but with this program I believe I will make it there. I'm currently replacing 2smoothies 1 meal which consist of 8oz protien 2cups of green veggies 8oz tea with splenda so far I've lost 9pounds. Lrts stay intouch.
