Can hardly believe I have lost 13 pounds already! Yippee!

Those of you who have known me for many years, know that I have been struggling with my weight pretty much my whole life. So when I found a high antioxidant wellness plan that had a doctor supervised study that showed everyone lost weight, I figured I should try it.  And, what do you know, it is working!  For now I am having a shake in the morning and a careful lunch and dinner and snacks whenever I get too hungry.  I also can have healthy chocolate whenever I want which really makes it easy.  I am hoping to replace two meals down the road and speed up my weight loss but for now I am very happy.  At my four week weigh in, I had lost 13 pounds.  I figure it took years to put all this weight on and it can take a little time to get it back off. 

I am hoping I won't have as many fibromyalgia flare-ups so I can exercise more but I can't seem to plan that.  So I work with what I have.  The fact that I take so many prescription medications made me feel like I would not be able to lose any weight.  But, even with all of the that I am still losing weight.  So slow and steady I go on my way to my 100 pound weight loss goal.  Only 87 pounds to go!

For those of you wondering what shake I am talking about, this is what I am doing.  I will even give you my secret recipe! 

I started with a bag of the Xocai-proteinmeal replacement shakes.  Each bag makes 28 shakes and will last you 28 meals.  Since I am having one shake a day, it is lasting me 4 weeks. 

Plus I started with a box of the Xocai Power Squares.  This is healthy chocolate that has 33 calories each with no processed sugars, waxes, fillers or caffeine.  Little bits of heaven.  You get 144 pieces in a box so if you have 3 a day, that will last you for 1 1/2 months.

You can buy these products retail, but even if you have no desire to get involved in the business side of things, signing up as an associate is the best way to go.  To be an associate you just pay a $39 fee similar to a Sams or Costco to purchase wholesale.  This also gives you a website and a back office to order and keep track of everything.  Then simply order 2 products like the Protein meal shakes & the power squares.  That is it. 

Here is my favorite shake recipe so far. 

Lynette's Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie
8 ounces water
7 full ice cubes
2 scoops of X-protein meal
1 small banana
1/2 tsp of peanut butter.

All together this figures out to be 300 calories.   It is very yummy and frothy!  Simply mix it in a blender and then I use the milkshake button to make it wonderful.  :-)
