My Weight-loss Journey (Using Shaklee 180)

A huge part of losing weight is believing you can do it and realizing it isn’t going to happen overnight. But when you lose the right kind of weight and learn how to keep it off, you can change your life forever!

Some of you may or may not know this about me, but I have struggled with my weight for quite some time. At the age of 14 I got up to a size 12 and I stayed there until I was 19. Then in fall of 2008 I spent 4 months in Germany as a volunteer helping out an religious order of retired sisters. Little did I know that I would come back home 20 pounds heavier than when I left. I went from a size 12 to a size 16! My clothes didn’t fit any more and I knew I didn’t want to buy all new clothes! Something needed to change and It needed to change fast.

After a year of not being able to lose the weight and after trying so many different kinds of diets, none of them seem to work.  I guess you can say I gave up on trying to lose the weight all together. I found that it was easier to put on weight than it was to take it off.  I had convinced myself and everyone around me that I was comfortable with who I was and how I looked. But what I really needed was to do a complete 180 with my life.

I felt very sluggish and unable to show my true potential. Everything I did took me twice as long as it should have and that was just to get the bare minimum done. I would want to sleep in late, go to bed early and nap almost daily! I had no energy to do anything and no motivation to change on my own.

My family was really the one who introduced me to the Shaklee 180 Turnaround program. I decided to give the program a shot. I had committed to give it my all for the full 90 days, as long as Bonnie did it with me!

I started the Shaklee 180 program, and I ended up losing a total of 28 lbs and 19 1/2 inches! I went from a size 16 down to a 6! I don’t think I had ever been a size 6 before.  Thanks to Shaklee 180.

I haven’t even told you the best part yet…It has been 8 years and I am still a size 6! I have never had a weight loss program teach me how to keep off the weight like this one did. I love that Shaklee focuses on not only your before and after but your after-after as well! I feel better than ever and I have more energy than I ever could imagine.  I never felt more comfortable in my bathing suit and I am looking forward to my next year’s Shaklee Trip!

8 months prior to my wedding, Brandon (My Husband) and I had decided to do the Shaklee 180 Turnaround again! We wanted to start our lives together feeling health and happy. I knew that personally I wanted to be “Tiny Tone and Tan” come my honeymoon! 🙂 Besides with Shaklee’s 100% money back guarantee, I couldn’t go wrong.

I am happy to say that Brandon and I have been happily married since September 7th 2013! Plus I totally met my goal and I was indeed Tiny, Tone and Tan on our big day and I had no problem fitting into my wedding dress!

My story doesn’t stop there…

A Poofy Ponytail Made Easy

When I look at someone wearing their hair in a poofy ponytail I immediately think of fun and flirty. It is the type of hair style that says “Oh this old hair style? I only wear this when I don’t care how I look” and yet they worked pretty hard to get their hair to look like that.  I remember the first time I saw someone with their hair in a poofy pony and I wanted to know how to do that. So naturally, being the type of personality I am, I went ahead with out a doubt in my mind that I would get it right the first time.  Well, maybe the second or third. Fine, it took me a while to figure out how to master that style. Although now that I have mastered the poofy ponytail with a few simple steps, I have decided to share with you what I wish I knew then.

My hair was curly today although you can achieve the same style on straight hair.
