Wow. I’m getting way behind on my ‘weekly’ reporting. I’m having to combine 3 weeks worth here, and I think going forward, I’ll continue to report in a similar manner. Perhaps monthly, or every few weeks, if I have something in particular to share.
At the end of week 11, my wife is now down to 14 stone 11 pounds! Hoorah! In total, she has now lost 24 lbs! That’s pretty close to 2 stone!
Week Review’s (combined)
I don’t have a lot to report back on. My wife has continued at her current fairly ‘slow’ weight loss pace, however, a loss is a loss is a loss (!) and we are impressed with the progress that she has made. Being a little greedy, we hope for more!
Looking at the three weeks, there is little of particular note that sticks out, however, what I should make clear is that since my last report in which I set out a new plan… well.. we haven’t followed it! I know.. pretty poor huh? My wife hasn’t exercised, and I haven’t been supportive in encouraging her with the oils.
So, that probably explains why the weight loss has continued at the same pace! Having taken three weeks to get to the point of realising that we really do need to stick to the plan, we are keen to give it a proper go again! I’ll report back on progress and if the plan helps to give the weight loss a good kick!
Round Up
Just summing things up a little.. I think the progress is fantastic. My wife is eager to get down to 12 stone and so, in her mind, she could be doing better than she is, but looking at the success, it is clear that her body has responded well.
There are many things that we could have done to improve the diet, and if we were more serious, my wife could have stuck to a strict diet, counted the calories and worked out a lot. But, as she has done none of those things, and has yet found good results, it’s all the more impressive.
I’m impressed with your wife’s progress. I’ve been suffering from many health problems which doctors have not been able to diagnosis or treat. Terrible pain through my abdomen, osteoarthritis all down my spine, and muscle and joint pain. I just started using doTERRA oils, but am so ignorant on how to use them properly. I need to lose about 20 pounds and I know I would feel better. I recently got Slim & Sassy and Trim Shake, but I find I’m not good at sticking with a regimen and forget to take the Slim & Sassy. How often does your wife take it, and how, and how many shakes a day, 2 like recommended or just one? Thanks for sharing with us through your blog~
Hi Shay
Thank you for your comment.
My wife is fantastic with taking the TrimShake. I think she takes it every single day, and does so in the morning to replace a breakfast. Mostly, it is once a day, although from time to time she will take it twice e.g. if she is feeling particularly hungry, and does not want to snack.
With the oils, she has not been regular, but that’s actually my fault. I’m the one that is supposed to prepare the oils (as we are making a separate blend to Slim and Sassy, but trying to follow it as close as we can – just without the Peppermint).
Recently, she has struggled to lose weight, but there are a number of things we can improve on.. just that we’re very busy, and haven’t really got around to implementing them. You’ll note that I’m not so regular updating the ‘diary’ which all comes down to the same issue… lack of time.
Hopefully your doTERRA upline will be able to help answer questions, but you may also like to try the everything doterra google group. There are lots of discussions there, and you can ask questions. Just google “everything doterra”, and you’ll find the group.
Everyone loses weight at different rates… and it can be frustrating, but hope you will find success in achieving your aims.
