If you have any medical conditions, be sure to consult your physician. The web portalhttp://www.marketamerica.com/allaboutunow has all the ingredients and science for transition supplements for you to share with your physician.

Getting Started

Things you should have for the fist week: Journal, List of low, med, and hi glycemic foods. Take beginning pictures front side and back view. I suggest taking the pictures in the swimsuit, or favorite outfit, that you want to fit into at the end of the 12 weeks that way you can really see the results of your hard work. Take measurements of: neck, chest, waist, belly, hips, thigh, calf, and bicep. And of course your weight. Keep all this in your journal. I highly suggest purchasing the Transitions Lifestyle system starter kit for $99.95+sh (available on my web portal,http://www.marketamerica.com/allaboutunow) because it has a daily journal(more than just a journal it includes meal plans, Low glycemic food list, exercise programs, health information, grocery list, much more), CD for support, Fat Conversion Inhibitor, Carbohydrate Absorption inhibitor and DVD Series see web port for more details,http://www.marketamerica.com/allaboutunow) You can purchase these item individually as well.


The first week is a detoxification week. It will be tough and you will need daily support so I am here for you. I need to loose 30lbs. We are all in this together. There are two ways to do the detoxification week. The first way, which I think will be the hardest, but most successful, my sister-in-law and I are going to do, it is as follows:

For first 7 days eat only vegetables, herbal tea, no more than 3 servings of fruit(each day) and 64 oz of water a day. If possible have a glass of warm lemon water before breakfast this will help you gallbladder work more efficiently. The gallbladder is responsible for fat digestion. This detoxification is to cleanse your pallet and prepare your body to desire healthy foods.

2nd way: Purchase the NutriClean 7-Day cleansing and Detoxification System (available on my web portal, http://www.marketamerica.com/allaboutunow) and follow the directions and meal plan.

During this week you want to be relaxed. Take hot baths, treat yourself to a spa day and rest as much as you can. This week is the week you don’t have to do a lot of exercises. You are cleansing the inside and you will be a little tired the first couple of days. So enjoy it because it will be a whole new story next week.


Some things to start thinking about for week 2: Make a menu using the Low and Med glycemic foods. Plan an exercise routine. I suggest everyone post their exercise routine to help one another with ideas to keep exercise fun not mundane. Here are some things I am going to start with. 30 min of pilates routine daily. It will strengthen and tone your muscles. It is easy on the body. (I have a lot of back pain and pilates is the only exercise that relieves my pain and allows me to walk and climb stairs)You can do it anywhere anytime. I will also try to walk 2 miles at least 3 times a week. If I can’t walk because of weather then when I am talking on the phone I will walk around the house several times, (you would be amazed how far you walk if you walk while on the phone). One of my favorite thing to do is to pick 8 fun songs (no more than 3.5 minutes long) and take light weights(you can work your way to heavier, if you have never done this you might want to start with just 1lb to see how you do) for each song I will do a body muscle. (you can look up routines on line for proper techniques. For example; I will do different bicep curls for the length of one song then stretch and go onto the next muscle) My routine usually starts off with a warm up song where I will do a couple of reps of each muscle part and repeat for the length of the song. I like to start with bicep curls, than squats/lunges, shoulders, back, chest, triceps and final abs. You get an aerobic work out and you make it fun because it is music you like. Gotta love the ipod.

Be sure to lean the proper techniques when lifting so you don’t injure yourself. The Internet has many great videos that will show you the proper techniques in lifting weights. Also check with your doctor when trying a new exercise program.

Well this should get us started! If you have any questions, Just ask and I will do my best to answer them.

I hope many of you will join my sister-in-law and I in transforming our lifestyle and body to a healthier, more energetic person.

One year later up date

Hello to all of those who have taken an interest in my blog.

Yes it has been a long time, mainly because I didn't think anyone was actually reading my blog. One day I decided to click on different buttons and found out that 18880 people have stumbled on this blog. I feel that I have let many of you down.

OK this is the skinny on what has happened since I loss 30 lbs back in July of 2010.

I had slowly went back to my bad eating habits and gained 10lbs by Oct. Most of it was because I just love to eat and stopped journalling. So in Oct I thought I would get some of my acquaintances and friends who said that they wanted to loose weight by X-mas time so they could look good for the parties and I wanted to loose the10lbs I had gained so I started a weight management support group using the Transitions Lifestyle System.

I got 10 people interested. Only 5 committed. Only 3 actually started. The 3 that started had awesome results the first week(DETOX- fruits and veggies) one loss 12lbs, one loss 10lbs, and one loss 7 lbs and they all loss the same in inches as they did in weight.
I also loss weight and inches 5lbs and 5 inches.


Nov 1 2010 Took this picture with the photo cam on my computer so it is a little blurry.

Weight             135
neck                  12.5"
upper chest      35.25
mid chest          36.5
waist                  30.25
belly                   34.25
hips                    37.5
thigh                   21.5
calf                      14
biceps             flex 12  reg 11

I had drawing each week and gave away many incentives. However, one person who worked in school got very sick from her students and she did do her very best to stick with the program but the children were relentless and kept getting her sick to where she had to start over a couple of times. I really felt for her and I do believe if she didn't work so closely with little sick children she would have succeeded. I do plan on helping her once she gets her health back and immune system where it needs to be before starting a weight loss program.
The other 2 kinda just gave up due to such a busy lifestyle.
See my journals under january starting again

We all tried it again in Jan 2011

Jan 8, 2011

Weight             143.3
neck                  13.25"
upper chest      37.75"
mid chest          39"
waist                  32"
belly                   35"
hips                    38.5" 
thigh                   23"
calf                      14.5"
biceps             flex 12  reg 11

During the last 2 weeks of December I had binged several times, eating 2lbs fudge myself along all the other candies, starches, and cookies- and zero exercise. I am a binge eater and hope someday I will be able to control my urges to over indulge in sweets. But for now I just do the best I can.

So I started Detox week with my 3 companions Jan 8th.
Jan 17th
Weight             137.8
neck                  13"
upper chest      36.25"
mid chest          37.5"
waist                  30.5"
belly                   34.75"
hips                    38.25" 
thigh                   22.5"
calf                      14.25"
biceps             flex 12  reg 11

It was just me and my friend that kept getting very sick. I eventually told her that trying to stick with the program and dealing with her illnesses as well as running her children to all their sport activities was too much and could be just adding more stress which was keeping her immune system down. so we will try again when she is feeling better.

not having to be accountable for what I was eating because I had no one  to share my journal with, had caused me to binge eat and gain weight again.

Feb 12,2011
Weight             140.2
neck                  13"
upper chest      36"
mid chest          37.25"
waist                  31"
belly                   35"
hips                    38" 
thigh                   22.25"
calf                      14.25"
biceps             flex 12  reg 11

March 12, 2011
Weight             143
neck                  13"
upper chest      36.5"
mid chest          37.25"
waist                  31.25"
belly                   35.5"
hips                    38.25" 
thigh                   22.5"
calf                      14.25"
biceps             flex 12  reg 11

I started a seasonal Job @ LOWES in the garden center which now I can  see how hard it  is to watch what you eat and find time to exercise while still make meals for family, grocery shop and clean house.  Not an easy task.

I found myself eating at MCDonald's just about everyday and it took a lot of will power to eat side salads with grilled chicken every once and a while  I would order the Santa fe grilled chicken salad. No time for exercise except 10 mins of pilates in the mornings.

My weight fluctuated between 139-143 lbs

my measurements would go up and down weekly. Although I did not keep track of what I ate and did. I managed to keep taking measurements weekly in hopes not to gain my 30lbs back. 
 I had a wedding to attend to July 3 so the last week of June I detoxed for 4 days with great success.
June 28
Weight             142
neck                  13"
upper chest      36"
mid chest          37"
waist                  31.75"
belly                   35.5"
hips                    38.25" 
thigh                   22.5"
calf                      14.5"
biceps             flex 12  reg 11

July 2,2011

Weight             137.5
neck                  12.5"
upper chest      35.25"
mid chest          36.5"
waist                  30.5"
belly                   34.5"
hips                    38" 
thigh                   22.5"
calf                      14.25"
biceps             flex 12  reg 11

I looked awesome in my dress and I hadn't seen my friends in 6 years and they were amazed how young I looked. This made me feel great.

One thing I should really mention is that evan tho I haven't been watching everything I eat and I binge eat probably once a week, I try to eat 5-9 servings of veggies a day, 3-4 servings of protein a day, 2 servings of dairy a day, and 1 -2 servings of carbs, 8-10 glasses of water. On the days I over indulge I have been taking Transitions CORE which is a combination of FCI=Fat Conversion Inhibitor weight management supplement and CAI=Carbohydrate Absorption Inhibitor weight management, I also included many of the transition meals, my favorite, turkey chile, and choc cherry transitions shakes on hot days, awake drinks instead of soda, mocha tonix on days that I needed more energy.

I believe I  would have gained all my weight back if I hadn't keep using the transition products and cut back on my carb intake.

I still want to get back down to 130 so if you would like to join my weight management group to be accountable for what you eat and do send me an e-mail and we can help each other be accountable and loose or maintain our weight together.   tfflyskf4fun@msn.com

Thanks for your interest and share with your friends.
