Staying strong!

Things are still going well! But I had someone suggest I share what I eat! I found out on the food log site that I use, www.calorieking.com, that you can make your food log public - http://www.calorieking.com/community/user_home.php?id=161784 - You can see exactly what I eat! It'a an awesome site I highly recommend! I've been a member for 3 years now! Their membership is only $9 a month - cheaper than weight watchers! I'll try and get some recipe ideas up in the next day or two, but for now, you can keep tabs on me! Just click 'Candice's Food Log' in the upper right hand corner. Stay Strong!

Jasmine said...: have you ever heard of sparkpeople.com? It is a free website where you can keep track of your foods, cals, fats, weight, workouts, ect... It's been a great website for me. That is how I started losing weight in the first place. It has a recipe site, and a recipe calculator so you can check to see how many cals some of your meals have. I know I have many family recipes that don't have all of that info with it and would love to (well... maybe...) know what is what in it. Plus, you can make it all public, or private. You can track your thoughts, and you can blog it all at the same time. They have support groups, and a place where you can find friends on it. I met someone in my same area a while back and we became really good friends. We helped each other out a lot. Let me know what you think of it.; July 22, 2010 at 6:33 PM

My HCG Story

I want to share my experience :)

I have always been athletic, but on the heavy side – all through out HS and college I was between 205-225. I did track and field in college as a thrower, and recieved my B.S. in Exercise & Sport Science. When I graduated in 2005 – I continued to work as a personal trainer in a high end gym in Draper, UT. I loved being in the gym and talking to and helping others, but for my self, I was burnt out. For 5 years and 2 children, I didn’t do much of anything.

When we moved to our new town, people would ask me what I do for work. When I’d tell them I was a personal trainer, I’d get the up down like, “serious?” Then one day it dawned on me – I WAS A HYPOCRIT! How could I tell people what to eat, when I ate what ever. How could I take people through workouts, when I couldnt even do them? Tragedy!

So, November 1st of last year, I went on a sugar detox and lost 10lbs and felt tons better. But I still needed to start working out. A week before the New Year, I recruited some family, friends, and clients to join me in a Body for Life challenge. 12 weeks later, I rekindled my love for working out, and had lost another 20lbs fat, while adding on 5lbs muscle.

About this point, Jerry, a friend I work on the ambulance with, approached me, asking me what I thought about HCG. With my background, like everyone else - closed minded, I passed on it, thinking how crazy it was. I had decided to do a second round of BFL, but after a 6 week plataue, I was frustrated. I tried changing some things up, and no results. I had never worked harder for something, and I was stuck! It was at this point I started contemplating HCG. I alsot started getting family and friends asking about it, and wanting to know more. It was then that I decided to look into it.

I read through all the materials, did some research online, and talked to my family doctor. Just like everyone else, something sparked when reading the material… like it was talking to me! I decided to give it a go – round 1, I lost 27 lbs, in 32 days! I got all the way down to 165! I had never been that low in my life!!! Even though I maintained the 165, after the summer and a couple of vacations, I decided to give it another shot – 153! Another new low! In all of my back ground/training, I have never seen anything work so efficiently and fast.

I was a thrower because I hated running, but now it feels great! I love how I feel when I work out, and how intune I am with what foods make me feel good or bad. I have since had many clients/friends/family on it, and love sharing in their success. While it has been dubed another ‘yoyo diet’ – it works! If you chose to go back to your old habits, of course you will gain it back, but if you follow the protocol, change your lifestyle, and start exercising, you can enjoy your results for a long time to come! It is now Febuary 2011, and I am still at 153-155 lbs!!! :D I am now a Beachbody coach, and utilize their programs and product to keep me fit. I am in the best shape of my life, and have absolutely no intention of ever going back to that miserable feeling! Happy Losing everyone!
