My Herbalife Recipes

Note: I’m not a distributor or anything, I just ordered my herbalife on amazon, so doing it on my own, decided to try it after talking to a lady about it at a church craft fair.  The link for the herbalife is just the generic main herbalife site.  Also I use Netrition  for my Torani Syrup and PB2 and other products because I have found them to be pretty decently priced and you only have to pay one $4.95 Shipping and Handling fee for however much you order so I think that’s pretty awesome. 

Update: I have lost 10 pounds already in under a week.

Ok i think my hubby is not taking accurate measurements, cause my waist measurement went up from jan.....ya i don't think so......oh well he tried...lol, i'm just gonna leave it cause no way to tell where exactly he was putting the measureing tape each month, so i'll just continue and just remember it's the best he could do :) I love him.....he's my booger butt :)  He's over here next to me right now eating something yummy a frozen icecream treat....at least it has pecans in it, so its not tempting to me at all not into pecans in my icecream so i told him it was ok for him to eat it in here with me..... 

Oh and i'm currently swimming in my 5X tshirts, and some of my pants are pretty big on me too.....its soooo cool, going to start going through my tubs of clothes i had when i was under 300...i'll have enough to last probably just till i get to 250 and then oh boy the shopping starts.....my favorite part :)

These are my stats for January 1, 2011 When i started my journey, at the time i was going through the process of trying to get my insurance to approve me for the lapband surgery, but they ended up denying me even though i jumped through all their hoops....oh well i think it all worked out better in the end, when i got denied it got me thinking of the sleeve instead, and then i asked my family if they could help me out and they said yes and now here i am a few monthes later and i have my sleeve...woulda still been waiting for surgery if i had to go through appeal processes with my insurance, ugggg that wouldn't have been fun....already been through enough i think....oh well.  I'm going to post the past 5 monthes worth of pics and stats, each in their own blog and hopefully i'll try to keep up with them each month.
