It starts...

Well, as of lunch time today, I am officially on one of those 'shake' diets. I have about 20 pounds left to go before my goal weight, and 8 more to go before I hit the goal set by my endocrinologist last month.

I attempted slimfast before, but the damn thing had me hungry all the time. My parents are on this new thing called Vi-Salus, so they handed over the rest of their Isagenix mix and are putting me on it.


Starting weight as of this morning? 171 lbs. I'll give myself three days of this before I weigh in again.

On the one hand, I'm really hoping this works. I'm hoping I'll have the discipline to stick to it.

On the other hand, I'm highly skeptical. It seems like a 'quick fix' weight loss option.

Either way, I guess I'll find out.

  1. Shake diets have always intimidated me somewhat. Probably because I know I am not disciplined enough to stay on them. I know you can do it, though, especially if you stay busy and try not to think about it too much. Good luck!

  2. Hi there,

    Found your blog on 20sb and this entry struck a chord with me :) I am a personal trainer and have a hard time keeping my mouth shut when it comes to the whole weight loss game! On that note: Dump the shakes! Like you said it is a quick fix that will leave you hungry. Here is a better idea. Look at those shakes. How many calories are in them? Instead of drinking those shakes eat real food. For example..if a shake has 300 calories in it 300 calories in the form of real food would be more filling right? Not to mention it will be a lot easier to stick to. You can't replace meals with shakes forever. ( Who would want to? ). OK I will stop now lol but if you ever have any questions feel free to contact me and I will be more than glad to help!
