My husband and I restore classic cars as a hobby. In October of 2004 he bought me a 1969 Mustang Mach 1 which was an absolute box of rust and in a very sad condition. We started restoring it as a winter project so that I would have a really hot car (painted "Candy Apple Red") to take to car shows the next summer.
As we started along in the process, I saw a picture of me working on the car and absolutely freaked out and tore up the picture it was so horrible and I was so FAT! How could I be a FAT BABE in such an amazingly Hot car! So January first came around and I made that New Year's resolution to lose weight. I WAS COMMITTED! I wanted to be a HOT BABE in a hot car! I joined the gym, I hired a personal trainer and I bought a case of Chocolate Royale Slim·Fast! I had Slim·Fast every morning on the way to the gym. I worked out on average 5 days a week lifting weights and walking on the treadmill to start (until I could run more than 3 minutes without gasping for air)! Now I can run 3 ½ miles without slowing down.
I also had a Slim·Fast shake for lunch at the office and then either a large salad with chicken or ham chunks and "lite" dressing or Salmon or something like that for dinner.
In late May we also bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Now the case was: how could I be a "hog" on a "hog"! So my motivation was refreshed again! By the end of July, I had lost 44 pounds and have kept every one of them off!
It is now Christmas 2005, five months later from hitting 44 pounds off and I have not gained one pound back! I still work out 3-4 days a week, my blood pressure is down to the point that I may be dropping the blood pressure medicine I started 2 years ago, in fact all of my blood work levels have come down into normal or low normal when they were all high normal or just plain high before I started my diet. My husband has just adopted my eating habits and the kids know not to look through the cabinets for junk food because it's just not there!!
Slim·Fast gave me the "tools" that I needed to stay on track easily, without a lot of food weighing or counting calories! With Slim·Fast by my side, I am planning on losing another 14 pounds to get to my ultimate goal weight of 130 starting this January 2nd. A weight I have not been since before my kids were born 18 years ago! I'm 47 but many people mistake me now for being in my 30s!!
Thanks Slim·Fast®!
Sincerely,
Roxane N.
