FIXX meal replacement shake!

I usually mix my FIXX meal replacement shake with frozen strawberries, a banana or instant flavored coffee.
I added 2 tsp of sugar free chocolate pudding before blending. Let it set for about 5 minutes and I had the most divine chocolate mocha THICK shake.
YUM!
I still don't mix/blend with milk( I am sensitive to lactose). I only use water. The addition of the pudding mix made it thicker and still had low calories.
For 100 calories and 10 grams of protein, my FIXX meal replacement shake is my favorite. I have tried literally hundreds of other protein shake brands.
FIXX is it for me!
I only substitute when I run out.
[I try to not run out...lol]

My mission?

Corny? Nah, it's just what I want. It's been what I have wanted to do for nearly ten years.
Living the ongoing battle with weight loss and gain for the last DECADE has made me increasingly interested in making sure I try to help other people out there searching for an answer.
When something works, I want to shout it from the rooftops.
I started thinking seriously about becoming a personal trainer or even going back to school to be a dietitian.
Sports medicine also flew around my brain for a while.
I also flirted with the hope that maybe a company or trainer would "sponsor" me on my journey towards reaching goal and maybe mold that into a business of my own.
I have had trainers. The clash between my being a strong woman and having a trainer argue with me about proper body mechanics ( a passion and pet peeve of mine), or pushing me through a dangerous pain threshold just didn't sit well with me.
I do work with two trainers I love to death. I barter massage for personal training sessions.
I hope to morph this blog and my experiences with diet and exercise and FORM into an online support for people experiencing SUCCESS with weight loss and healthy ways.
The Queen Latifah commercials for JennyCraig (never tried, but have tried and disliked Nutrisystem) send a good message. I know I've seen and heard her saying she didn't want to be "skinny" and that wasn't her goal. She wants to be a HEALTHIER weight and the commercial I saw that was about just getting to a 10% loss in weight.
The advent of BMI being the standard I think is a good thing. After all a person weighing 200 pounds at 5' and 6' are two different things.
Hey, I'm the perfect weight, if I was 7 feet tall!!
The mission is to host the website with another company that provides forums for the community of people who are on their journey to weight loss.

THREE POUNDS! See weight tracker at TOP of the page

YES, it's up to NINE pounds lost since Tuesday September 23rd.
The ONLY thing I have changed in my eating and exercise plan is the addition of FORM.
I usually take 1 FORM capsule before lunch and 1 FORM capsule before dinner.
I AM eating real food. I DO put syrup on my french toast. I DO have dessert when served (small taste--just enough).
I'm pleasantly suprised.
Yes I knew FORM worked the first week. I thought for sure it was because I WANTED it to. Maybe I was being EXTRA good. Nope, as a matter of fact there were about 4 days where I got NO extra exercise in. It takes a few days for me to get back in the groove when coming back from vacation.
This last week I have had (mindful portions) of:
Tiramisu
Panera Bread sandwhiches
French Toast
Fruit Salad
Eggs (with cheese)
STEAK
No fake foods.
I'm amazed.

Today's FORM experience myo3world experience

This morning was breakfast on the go. I made a protein shake (CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE FIXX TO SHOW UP) put it in a travel mug and went.

Protein powder (strawberry), strawberries, cup of ice and 6 ounces of water.
That held me for most of the day.
Around 10 I took 1 FORM capsule.
At 9:30 I had an apple sliced, and 2 triangles of laughing cow cheese.
At 11:30 I had lunch, or started lunch. I had half of the Mediterranean veggie sandwich at Panera Bread.
(Mediterranean Veggie
Zesty Peppadew™ piquant peppers, feta cheese, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and cilantro hummus on our Tomato Basil bread. )
Nutrition Facts
Serving Size 7 ounces (196g)
Servings Per Container 1 ( I had half)
Amount Per Serving
Calories 310 Calories from Fat 60
Protein 11g
I had a full feeling almost immediately after a few bites.
Dinner:
One small serving of chicken cacciatore, salad with mozz, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, cucumber, olive oil.
I'm trying to eat more veggies and fruits. Working a salad, either fruit or veggie into the days meal plan is doing well.
I made another batch of fruit salad for the week. IT tastes so much nicer when it has been sitting in the 'fridge for a day or two.

Other diets and plans.

Ok, about other diets.
In reality, diets DON'T work, we all know that deep down inside.
They do however, show results, sometimes, many times in fact.
My trouble with diets has always been hunger except for Atkins but I gained weight on Atkins.
I also gained weight on WW.
I am not knocking either one of them. They both have merit if used properly.
South Beach, Meditteranean, Caveman diets all are good in their own way.
I have tried, and had some success with a few of them.
I have even had Nutrisystem (didn't like) and ZONE Chefs (now Chefs diet) delivered to the door.
The "diet" I did like most was having the food delivered from CHEFS Diet but since I wasn't in one of their drop off zones, I had to have the food sent chilled. Although nothing came spoiled, gourmet salads and entrees do not fare well in the 'fridge for a week. The minimal for cold delivery was a week if I remember correctly. I was HUNGRY though and that made it torturous. I soon weakened and then rebounded.
We have all been there, when the "diet" is a failure or we are too hungry to continue.
If I had known about and used FORM with any of the diets I tried I believe I would have had more success, stayed on them longer and eventually reach GOAL.
For the last several months I had tried to eat from a healthy assortment of foods and to drasticly reduce portions.
We have been walking everyday for exercise.
30 days from now my results should speak from themselves.
So, stay on any of the diet plans but add FORM to them to ease the hunger.

I also love the fact that I am USING the products. I will be my own best testimonial!!
I found ExpoTV and signed up immediately.

Fourth day.....still semi solid

I still have the glass atop the stove.
It was my DEMO glass and I took video of it at 1 hour increments the first day.
I posted about that here.
Yesterday I added 4 oz. of water to the glass and stirred it up.
It is looser, but still semi-solid.
NOTE:
This will NOT stay in your stomach for 4 days.
Your body is MUCH warmer than the glass on my stove in my kitchen.
Your body performs peristalsis and grinding and churning as a part of normal digestion. All combined, the product breaks down and is eliminated.
**By the way - NO PROBLEMS in that area. Everything leaves normally, no constipation, no diarrhea, nothing abnormal. I can't even distinguish the product from my regular BM.**

Today's FORM experience

This morning we woke up late. We were up very late last night.
Had a package of weight control oatmeal(it just has more protein in it) and a cup of straberries/bananas.
Didn't want to eat steak so early in the day.
I just took 1 FORM capsule (1:00 pm).
We're going out and will eat lunch somewhere on the beach.

Say tuned......

Youtube and Subtitles and Captions

A friend of a friend is profoundly deaf.
He was asking (thru my friend) about the Tube in general.
He was asking about captions.
I see with YT's last update you can add captions or subtitles to the videos.
I am stumped though with how to do it.
I did find a website where you can upload your videos ( or any video I suppose) and then add the text with their editing tool.
It did take a while but hey, it's raining and when i get my mind on something, it gets done.
The website is Overstream. It's worth a look until you/I can figure out YT's captions option.

Today's FORM experience

woke up this mornin' fellin' fine....(isn't that a song?)
Anyhoo, We were up extra early.
Breakfast was about 3/4c. homemade fruit salad consisting of mostly melon and blueberries.
Make a breakfast omlette with egg whites:yolks 3:1, green pepper and onion.
YES there was bacon had, and it was good. Seriously, two strips turkey bacon.
I wasn't sure how I would like either product especially the FIXX shake. I only ordered my experience pack. I should have ordered more. It will be my shake of choice.

Unsweetened Iced tea.

An hour before lunch I took 1 FORM capsule. I drank unsweetened tea instead of plain water this time. I still got the full feeling about 20 minutes later.
We ate out today. It has been pouring rain all day and I needed to get out.
We went to Outback and I started with a salad. BAD idea.
I ordered a small steak and after one bite I couldn't eat anymore.
I ate a forkfull of veggies just to make sure they got in there.
Well, at least I knew what my dinner was going to be.

Visited a friend but hadn't brought my FORM capsules. She had her laptop and I showed her this blog, the website and she wants samples.

I took 2 FORM capsules and again, OH MY GOODNESS. Not painful but I was stuffed just like after a Thanksgiving meal. I will be only taking 1 FORM capsule before lunch and dinner.
I was too full for dinner. I ate the leftover veggies and two bites of steak.
I guess I know what I'll be having mixed into an eggwhite omlette tomorrow morning.

My lesson learned:
ONE FORM CAPSULE is enough for me.

I was worried about how FORM "leaves" you.
All normal. Can't tell FORM from everything else.

O, O, O, I do burp about ten minutes after taking the FORM capsule.

Pictures of the FORM product in a water glass.
The FORM stayed semi-solid.

FORM didn't work for a friend of mine

The FORM capsule did NOT work for a friend of mine.
I think she poo poo'd it because of the MLM and sales aspect.
She called me later in the evening and told me it didn't work.
I read (been doing a lot of research on this product) about a statistic noting the product works in the high 80% of people in the trials.
I will try to find that source.
So, FORM will not work for everyone but it has worked for me.
It also worked for two others I have given samples to.
:)
