Join Me On My 90-Day Weight Loss Journey

So here's the deal: Ever since my daughter Samara was born, I've been dealing with a very real, struggle with my weight and body image. The most difficult part I experience is the fact that I'm not quite the typical weight loss candidate.  The Biggest Loser is not looking for people like me and it would be offensive to suggest otherwise.   In fact, dare I even utter the words, "I need to lose weight" in public! In lieu of support, I get a slew of rolled eyes, snickers, and "Oh please! You do not need to lose weight!"  My default response: "Yeah...well, you haven't seen me naked." That usually quiets them.

Ok, so here's my current Big Fat #- 135.  Yes, I get it.  To half of America, that's a goal weight, but to a 5 foot 3-ish woman with a slender build, that is still not a very comfortable number!  It keeps me from fitting into most of my clothes, from feeling confident wearing things like bathing suits and sleeveless tops, and most importantly, it keeps me from feeling as healthy as I could. I am not the worst eater in the world and yes, I do try to go to the gym whenever I can amidst my 2 young kids and full time job.  Truth be told,  I have managed to lose a good amount of my baby weight by doing just that. However, I realize that at at my age and life stage, I really could use a little boost to my weight loss to get rid of these final pounds that just won't go anywhere! 

I've shared earlier about me feeling out of control about many things, but this is something I can control.  Fortunately for me, I stumbled across a post by fellow blogger, Rude Mom, about a weight loss company seeking bloggers to try out their product and figured, why not?  I did a little more research about the products and found one designed just for me! No, the label does not say, "Eat all the pizza you want and lose weight." I'm still looking for that product!

The company is called Creative Bioscience.  They have a series of products for various stages and weight loss objectives, including the popular HCG drops.  What I found that most suited my needs were the African Mango Cleanse and the African Mango Lean, designed for dieters who are looking to release toxins in the body and with a weight loss goal of less than 20 lbs.  I know it would be unrealistic for me to aim for my high school weight -hell, mama has hips now-but to be able to lose and keep off these extra few lbs would be ideal.

So in the next few weeks, I'll be starting a 90 day weight loss journey.  Eating right and exercising will be essential and I'll be coupling that with my supplements from Creative Bioscience. And who better to have as accountability partners than all of my readers???

If any of my fellow bloggers would like to join me, you can apply here! If you do, please be sure to let me know that we're in this together!
