Week 32, Day 1 – Lost the cruise weight plus!

June 18th, 2010 No comments

I love this system!!!

Last week, I gained 5 pounds on a cruise to New Brunswick, Canada. This week, that gain is history, and I’ve lost a pound more, for a total of 6 pounds down. Sometimes, it amazes me how easy it is to work this plan. I simply started right back in with the Silhouette Solution products, the fruits and veggies, and the protein, and I’m right back on track one week later. How great is that!

This is not the only good news. I went for my annual physical yesterday. My doctor went over the results of some recent blood work, and all my numbers are in the healthy range! I was curious about how these products would affect my glucose range, and I’m happy to report that the number went down 8 points, and put me back into the healthy range for blood glucose level.

My total cholesterol came down 7 points, triglycerides (the “bad” cholesterol) went from 168 a year ago down to 110 now. That’s quite a significant drop, and brought me into the healthy range as well. My HDL (the “good” cholesterol) went up 3 points, and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) went from 6.82 in November to 3.27 now, once again putting me into the healthy range. This is huge! My doctor was very pleased, and so am I. We’re even talking about lowering or eliminating some of the meds I’m taking, which is one of my reasons for losing the weight in the first place.

I feel good. I feel strong. I feel healthy. Lots of people my age can say the same. Those who cannot should seriously consider getting these products. They have quite literally changed my life. My nails are stronger, my hair is healthier, I’m losing weight and gaining energy. Ask me about it, I’m happy to share what I know, and would love to be an agent of positive change in your life.

Week 2, Day 1 – Another 2 pounds gone

Weight: 190

How exciting! I’ve lost more weight! When I got onto the scale this morning, I was hopeful. I’m starting to feel like I’ve lost weight. And I did lose weight! Another 2 pounds of fat gone. This is crazy awesome.

I know it’s too early to tell if these changes will work for the long haul, but so far, so good. I went for bloodwork on Wednesday. Yesterday, my doctor’s office called to say that my thyroid numbers had dropped significantly. Seeing that I have hypothyroidism, this is not good news. My doctor increased the dosage on my medication, and I will begin taking that today. If it works the way my doctor hopes, my energy level should increase, making weight loss even easier. Win-win!

The last time that I was on this dosage, my numbers changed so greatly and so rapidly that the dosage was decreased back to what I’d previously been taking. I wonder what will happen this time.
