What a Difference a Year can make!

That's me on the left - yep - in the pink tutu - Color run 2013

So, it has been a year since I started my weight loss journey on the Metabolism Miracle.  I call this my "permanent weight loss story" since it has not been interrupted by having babies and such and it has actually worked for the long haul.

I posted pictures from the same run I was involved in (The Color Run) about a year apart.  I decided to post my "after/in-progress" picture first (above).  The before pictures are below.  That is me on the left in the first one before the run.  The second picture I am second from the left after the run, splashed in color, and pretty swollen from the heat and pressure on my body from all of the extra weight.  This is one picture that made me want to change myself and fast.

One year has really made a world of difference for me.  I have learned so many different things about myself and how my body works in this year.  I have gone a little off course this summer with crazy schedules and the local snow cone stand :) but I am re-committing to what I know works.  I am starting on a "step 1 detox" for probably a full 8 weeks.  I am excited because I know how good I will feel after that first week.  If you want to start along with me, pick up a copy of The Metabolism Miracle and head on over to www.miracle-ville.com!  And most importantly...believe in yourself!  It may take me another year or even 2 to look like my goal-self, but it's about the journey and feeling good!

The Metabolism Miracle Review ~ My personal success story

Hi, my name is Kelly and I have Met B... what you ask?  Read along and I will explain.

I have so many different blog ideas that I want to get out but when I was thinking of which ones I wanted to be the first this topic was by far the winner.  It only makes sense to start off talking about the Metabolism Miracle because it truly was the starting point of me taking control of my life and walking the road to simplicity and happiness.

The Metabolism Miracle is a book that my mom introduced me to written by nutrition expert and certified diabetes educator, Diane Kress.

My mom has type 2 diabetes and was looking into the program but as she was reading she thought that more and more of the symptoms applied to me even though I did not have diabetes (yet...but I was going down that path).

 

I have been following this plan (or as I like to call it...the way I will be eating for the rest of my life) since Sep last year.  I have never felt better and will never go back.  Diane Kress very simply and directly explains why some people are prone to "Metabolism B" which leads to metabolic syndrome, diabetes and a host of other problems.  It is a plan based on scientifically looking at the number of carbs you eat and the timing you eat those carbs to keep your blood sugar stable instead of your body working against you and becoming even more insulin resistant.  It is a very simple program and the only one that has worked for me in a long time.

 

I am in no way being paid or anything to say this.  I truly believe in this program and have so much respect for Diane Kress for writing it and caring so much about people to run a site called Miracle-Ville where she answers questions directly from people, posts recipes, creates videos and much more! The Metabolism Miracle has given me my life back which is priceless.

54 lbs later

now

 I have lost 54 lbs so far and probably have another 30 or 40 to go.  I am so happy and without this program I would still be on a downward spiral thinking I am eating healthy but continuing to gain weight.

If anyone is actually reading (maybe you stumbled upon this post searching for info on the Metabolism Miracle), I would be happy to answer any questions that I feel confident in the answers if you want to e-mail or comment below.  Otherwise I suggest you join Miracle-Ville so Diane Kress can answer your questions direct from the source.

I am currently living in step 2 to get the rest of this weight off, but I have ventured through all steps of the program at some point in the last 7 months and I am happy to help because I know if this worked for me it will work for anyone!!

I will probably try to do additional blogs on things that work for me with this program.  Also, if I post any recipes I will do my best to include my own calculated net MM carbs so you can figure out if it fits on your step of the program.
