Delicious to mix with water on the go Biggest Loser Protein

Hello Friends,

I hope this finds you well. Today is weight in day and I did pretty well. I weighed in at 272! That makes it 12 pounds in 2 weeks. Thank you Designer Whey for your free diet plan. My goal for next weigh in is under 270.

I think I could have done better because I had cake(2 pieces) this weekend at my nephews’ birthday and also had more cookies then I was supposed to have but I am pleased with the loss that is for sure. I wish I could resist the sweets. I have to admit I really enjoy sweets and do not know how to say no and mean it!

I make no-bake cookies for my sister who is a Captain in our Air Force. I am proud of her. I ship a big batch once a month and made some Sunday but was not pleased with how they turned out. But that did not stop me from eating way more then I should. I have to make a new batch today to send to her. The no-bakes have to be a certain moisture in order to get to Iraq fresh like they have been just made. I send them vacuumed sealed.

I was thinking about serving sizes for my kids. I just realize that the suggested serving size on a package is for an adult and have to stop and think about what it should be for kids. I think the food industry needs to put adult size and kid’s size on the box. I have my kids read the serving size and measure out what they are suppose to have but forget that the serving size is for an adult… just something to think about.

It’s warm here in Michigan but not for long. We got a lot of needed rain over the weekend.

Hope your week goes well. I am looking forward to watching the Biggest Loser this week. Only 2 more episodes before the season ends.

Hello Friends,

Biggest Loser Protein Blue Blueberry Protein2Go

Hope this finds you well.
Did you watch the Biggest Loser last night? I did. Some things just blow my mind away…a concept that I and many others have yet to reverse in our minds…we have to eat to lose weight! I am talking about the segment where Bob watches a food video diary that the contestants did. Bob was upset at their food choices because the contestants were trying to make their favorite foods but at the lowest calories and Bob was like no no no…yes LOWER calories but MORE quality calories especially protein and carbohydrates at every meal. Then Bob brought out my favorite protein…Our Designer Whey Powder…he had the contestant add a scoop to his water…very cool to see. I love blogging on Designer Whey’s site, I believe in sharing my thoughts on the best product out there.

I was looking at the graphs on my FREE diet plan from Designer Whey and I can see my protein level was only at 88%. I still am not getting enough protein.  Today I decided to carry my Lite and Lean 2GO Packets with me and when ever I drink a bottle of water I am going to add a pack. Yesterday and the day before I was just so pooped out. See, I clean houses for my exercise sometimes 6 hours a day of vigorously cleaning and I get paid too! When I checked my diet plan graphs and did not think about it until Bob said…”you have to have good quality protein to have the energy to burn fat and lose weight”. Then a light went on, maybe that is why I am so tired! Add a pack of lite and lean to your water bottle, its only 30 calories, taste great and gives you the energy to burn fat! Plus an added bonus the 2GO Lite and Lean contains 5g of fiber. SO you can take your 2GO with you and it will also help you to go! lol

Beautiful day here in Michigan. Have a good one.

Hey Friends!

Well it’s Monday and weight in day. Can you guess the number of pounds I lost??? If you guessed 2… nope, higher. If you guessed 4… nope, higher. If you guessed 6… nope, higher. Ok I can’t stand it. You’re taking tooooo long guessing. Drum roll please… da..da..ta..da I lost 8.5 pounds this week!

Ok I will tell you my start weight, which I hate to blog because I am embarrassed. On 4-13-09 AM I weighed 284…YIKES 12 pounds more then when I weighed before Christmas. 2 pounds off, 4 pounds on, has been a pattern of mine for a long time. When I got on my scale this morning I was doing the happy fat loss dance it read 275.5!

I contribute the weight loss to Designer Whey’s great free diet plan. It was so easy to follow because I created it for me; my schedule and my life! The plan can only fail if I let it. I was not hungry; I had good energy and was able to stick to it. In my plan I use the weight control powders and the lite and lean powders. All the flavors are great!

Remember this regime. Fuel, Move, Rest. The fuel part is the eating plan that you create, get moving simply means get your heart rate up higher then your sitting rate, rest…put your feet up for 10-15 min, go to bed at a reasonable time, get 8 hours of sleep each night. It worked friends and if it works for me it can work for you!

Take care, friends. Hope to see less of you soon. Don’t forget to watch “The Biggest Loser” this week. Let’s see who can be the biggest loser among those reading this. Post your results in the forum or comment here! Share each others success!

Howdy Friends!

I know you cried…don’t lie…lol. This week, “Biggest Loser” touched my heart. Mike’s brother crying because of his weight. I sure can relate. I am amazed at the weight these people have lost in 15 weeks, just awesome. Like Tara said they are lucky and blessed to have this opportunity. It is really neat that we get to witness their success and see that it is possible. I know I have lost weight this week but I am not going to tell you until Monday hehehehe… but it is good friends, very good.

If you are new to this site…please take advantage of Designer Whey’s Free Healthy Diet Program. It is worth it! I can personally attest to that. Part of my eating plan I include the weight control powders along with the lite and lean powders. I love seeing my progress and seeing how many calories I ate for the day then comparing to the movement I made. If you don’t know, one pound equals 3500 calories so if you burn that amount per day you could potentially lose a pound a day! The Biggest Losers burn 7000 calories a day (not recommended with out a trainer and your doctor) that is why they can lose 10 or more pounds a week.

I am fired up again friends, determined to keep on this path to a lighter me. I hope you are too. Keep moving forward, keep making healthy choices for yourself…you are so worth it.

Take care,

Camille

Hey Friends!

Hope your spring break was refreshing. I had a great break. We stayed home but did a lot of things and had fun. I am glad to take the kids to school today! I have been blessed with new cleaning clients. Some days I clean houses for six hours! Not including my own house work, that’s a pretty good work out.

Well, I kept my promise and got my diet plan done for at least one week (going to work on more) with Designer Whey’s free diet program. It took a little time, about an hour to get one weeks worth of my plan done but let me tell ya, it was worth it! I loved feeling in control of my food choices. I could pick the foods I like and foods my family would eat too! That is a big part of the excitement of using Designer Whey’s program. A lot of other programs I was making “my food” and “their food” it was a pain and I easily gave up. I can choose foods that will fit in our budget as well. I really feel I can stick to the plan because I created it to work for me and my busy schedule. I was even able to allow a beer or two on some nights. I enjoy having a beer or two with my hubby watching COPS Saturday night…with other diet plans it was a no no and I felt left out of that time with my husband. We don’t get drunk or anything like that but a good cold beer, COPS and sitting on the couch with hubby is priceless! Designer Whey’s Free Diet Program even allows me to have cookies if I choose and I did for one day of the week. I like making cookies with my kids and with other plans “No Cookies For Me!” (like in Seinfeld’s ‘No Zoup For You!’) I felt deprived and guilty of enjoying the cookies my kids made. No more guilt it’s in my plan! I love saying that!

I am also reading a book called Target on Nutrition; it is a great guide to eating healthy. The book recommends that 45-65% of your daily calories should be from carbohydrates, 20-35% healthy fats and 15-25% should be from proteins. The great thing about Designer Whey’s Free Diet Plan is that you can see by a graph what each daily food calorie percentage is. A very helpful tool! I was able to adjust the menu to keep me on target with my percentages and could see if I had too much or too little in any given food category. I love it!

When you sign up with Designer Whey’s Free Diet Plan it might seem cumbersome answering all the questions but trust me you will be very happy that you did. Their system does all the calculations for you, even tells you the day you should make your goal weight. Watch the video demo it will show you all the features and how it works.

My favorite feature is the printed grocery list! I used the list from my personal plan today it was GREAT! It was so nice to just go down the list and cross off what I needed. I even spent less money, which was an added bonus. The other feature I enjoy is the ability to see my progress. I can keep track of my meals, my exercising, and my weight loss by simply entering in the information on a daily bases. This also keeps me accountable to myself. This plan can only fail if I let it fail. Nothing is holding me back from succeeding my goals; it’s all been made simple. Thank you Designer Whey!  Your system gives hope to people like me who have suffered being over weight most their life. I am tired of gaining and losing the same 20 pounds over and over again… no more! Finally a plan I can live with.

So friends take the time to do the Designer Whey Diet Program. It will make all your healthy goals come to reality; and for once in your life, seeking a healthier you, seem possible.

Don’t forget to watch “The Biggest Loser” this week. I am so excited!

Take care, friends. Know that I care and I think about the people who might be reading this. You can lose the weight and be healthy. Be sure to include healthy whey products in your daily eating plan to get in all the nutrition you need for the day. Designer Whey Powders taste great and are very good for you too.

Hello Friends,

Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth! My kids are home (I could stop there), spring break, stress and anxiety. Just trying to sort through it all. Last night I watched “The Biggest Loser”.  Those people look amazing! 14 weeks and losing over 100 pounds, wow! I want the chance they have …but how? How do I get there? I wish the answers were simple. Maybe they are.  I have tried everything and there is so much information on what to do, what not to do, it becomes over whelming. My quest keeps going and going. I must say…never give up. Life comes at us and we have to push through.

I feel I need help, a personal trainer.  Or a treadmill or get all “The Biggest Loser” tools… maybe, but the cost. Oh, I hope our economy evens out soon. Yet, I am blessed. I have a nice house, cable, electricity, food in the frig… I really have nothing to complain about. No negativity needed!

I have to make a commitment to use the Designer Whey Diet program. It’s free! For the remainder of spring break I will get my diet done which will include Designer Whey Products.

Talk to you Monday Friends. After all, it is spring “break”.  Hey, make it a challenge to all of us. Get your healthy program planned, then work that plan to be healthy!

Take care and I hope this finds you healthier than the day before.

Hey Friends,

Are you as excited as I am seeing ‘my’ Designer Whey being held by Bob the trainer on the “Biggest Loser” show tonight? I was so excited I had to write in! It was so cool. I am very  happy for Designer Whey. They deserve it for having the best and purest protein powders out there. Best of all they keep it affordable for all of us! It takes a lot of guts for a business to rise up so far yet remember us down here struggling with being healthy by keeping their products within a monetary reach for the greater of us. So… a HIGH FIVE to Designer Whey!

Me on the other hand…I have been having 2 difficult days, just all messed up with my eating, almost out of control, probably very close to really screwing up and my only conclusion is that I came off the detox with out a plan. I also was off my Weight Control whey and the cravings have been unbearable. I gave in…sigh. I am too embarrassed to even say how badly but trust me, not good at all. All I got to say is tomorrow is another day…someone please kick my butt back in gear! I am going to bed early so I will wake up to a better attitude. Off to make me a shake to get back on my Designer Whey Plan. If you don’t know it now, Designer Whey has a great diet plan for free…Check it out then you just follow it! Ok Camille, take your own advice! Make a plan…Keep a plan…Drink your Whey and move your body everyday! It’s that simple.

Good Night Friends,

Camille from Michigan

Hello Friends,

Well the detox is over. My daughter and I did not lose as much as we wanted. I lost 3 pounds and she lost 4. I am glad we did it. Due to life situations we could not follow this exact. A lesson my daughter learned that diets like this are very difficult because they do not accommodate life situations, such as funerals and track meets, after school activities, jobs etc… We did learn good things for example the more fruit we ate the less sugar cravings we had. Veggies can be filling when you eat enough. When you eat healthy you do not have acid reflux.

The lesson I am trying to teach my daughter that it is best to eat a healthy balance diet every day. A friend gave a good suggestion that our diets on a daily bases should be 80/20 ratio. Meaning 80% of our diets need to be healthy the other 20% is for healthy fats and one small treat. Making good choices every day is necessary. For example, at a funeral I attended they had a luncheon, a huge variety of unhealthy goodies to eat. I stuck to loading up on fruit and veggies, 1 turkey roll and the smallest slice of carrot cake which is good for me because normally I would have grabbed the biggest slice I could find!

I wanted to share one of my favorite dishes.

Healthy Asian Salad- Delicious and full of nutrients and antioxidants

1 bag of Broccoli slaw

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon pine nuts

3 tablespoon cranraisins

½ cup chunked cucumber

¼ cup grapes cut in half

¼ cup grape tomatoes cut in half

Serves 5 or more if you add more veggies and fruit.

You can add chicken (oh grilled chicken is awesome) and have a complete meal that is healthy, full of flavors and good for you. Did you know that sesame oil lowers blood pressure and is full of antioxidants? It does it’s a good oil for you. Broccoli, cucumber and tomatoes are low in calories high in nutrients. Cranraisins are sweet and give this salad some chewiness. Rice vinegar gives this salad a little tartness. Pine nut gives some crunch and flavor. You can use raw cashews or sesame seeds as an alternative. Grapes also give a sweetness you can use strawberry, raspberry or any fruit you like. You can add red peppers that would give it a little kick. This salad can be made anyway you like it add items, omit items…be creative and colorful. Everyone I have made this for loves it…well, not my kids because their taste buds have yet to mature…lol. I make a batch and munch on it for a few days. It’s great for when you have those craving days.

Hope this find you well. Back to my healthy plan that includes my weight control powders and lite and lean drinks because I know they help me obtain my goals and they will help you as well.

Hello Friends,

I hope this finds you well. I am on day five on my detox diet. I am doing pretty good, had food today! Beef and tomatoes. I like tomatoes in salad just not by themselves so I opt for 100% tomato juice.  ½ cup is about the same as a whole tomato. I did cheat a little and had a very small no-bake cookie (size of a half dollar) from a batch I made for a neighbor whose husband died. I made spaghetti and no bake cookies for her family and let me tell you, those no bakes were talking to me. I caved a little to stop the annoying “eat me…eat me, eat just one…one won’t hurt. No one will know…” nagging.  Did I fail? Maybe. But normally I would have eaten 5 by then. So in my eyes I did well to limit the amount and size.

One thing I am learning with the plan is that I can be in control. And that my friends, is priceless. Today my kids had an ice cream social and I can proudly say that I did not have any ice cream. Instead, I had flavored coffee with a dash of cream, no sugar!

Did you watch “The Biggest Loser” show this week? We did not see the first half because of the Presidential speech. Part of me had a hard time watching because most of the contestants weigh less than me after starting out much heavier than me. The other part says they worked for it and deserve the loss. Several contests are at 100+ pounds loss in 12 weeks! I know its not my reality but it CAN happen if I want it bad enough. I sure wish I had the same opportunities as the contestants do. I’ve got to hand it to Tara. She pulled through a difficult time wanting to give up and in the end she soared. I wonder why the contestants kept their shirts on this week. All other times the men took their shirts off and women wore the sports bras.

I hope your week is going well and remember Designer Whey Products are swell…lol!

Take Care,

Camille

Well Friends,

I am on day 3 of my detox regimen. Its going pretty good. Day one I ate only fruits, not so bad, I like a variety of fruits. Day two I ate only vegetables. That was a little harder, I don’t like as many veggies. Plus, in the detox regimen you can make French onion soup (no bread or cheese of course) loaded with any veggies your heart desires, except potatoes. You can eat the soup at anytime with the days food plan. Today was mixed vegetables and fruits. The only side effect of eating French onion soup every day, several times a day is… well… when you pass gas it smells like onion soup! LOL. I keep waiting for this huge movement but it has not happened yet. I hope it will be one of those ‘ah ha’ moments, lol.

What’s interesting is I am not craving sugar at all! So that tells me I definitely need more fruit in my diet. I think I consumed so much fruit (which we know is nature’s sugar) that I did not need to crave the candy. Maybe when you crave sugar you simply need to add more fruit to your diet.

I did have a glass of my Lite and Lean powder before I cleaned house. I felt I needed it to make it through four hours of cleaning. Good thing its only 30 calories. My daughter is a trooper; she is following it to the tee. Except she keeps saying she can’t wait until Saturday to eat the donut she put in the freezer from a school party. I do have to hand it to her for not eating the donut, she stuck to her plan. I think I will encourage her to cut in thirds and eat only 1/3. I guess… don’t know. What do you say to not offend you teen daughter??? I did tell her to eat a protein bar before track practice. Maybe that is why she is not having hunger pangs.

Today I cleaned house for four hours straight, walked the dogs then went swimming. I swam 10 laps, back stoke taking a breather between laps, just for a minute.  I take my kids with me to the pool. They are always trying to beat me. They get close, but this big ol’ mama still can out swim them. Well, for one lap anyway. I am sure I could not beat them 2 laps in a row but we will keep that secret to us right…friends????

I hope this finds you healthier then yesterday. Don’t forget to drink your whey every day!
