Day 22 - Mike & Kristen's Advocare 24-Day Challenge

The weekend of the Big Cheat is over! The bachelor party was awesome and some priceless memories were made. I gained back a few of the pounds that I've lost, but I was eager this morning to get back on track with the challenge. Getting back into the swing of it was actually quite easy, which I think is a testament to the way that my mindset towards eating has changed.

I wanted to share a few status updates on how some of the other people that I know are doing with the challenge. Kristen is still holding steady with a 7 lb weight loss. She did tell me today that she was very happy with how she felt in her swimsuit when she was out at the pool over the weekend! My mom is doing very well and she has lost 8 lbs through the first 2 weeks of the challenge! She feels like she has more energy and she's also noticed that her knee hasn't been hurting her as much as it usually does. My friend, A.M., is 8 days into the challenge and she has lost 5 lbs so far for a nice start. Another one of my friends, M.W. (who was in pretty good shape already before starting the challenge), is 6 days in and has trimmed a half inch off of his waist. He also thinks his abs are better defined.

I have 3 days left in the challenge. My major goal is to quickly take back the 3 lbs that I put on during the bachelor party and maybe lose another pound or two before it's all said and done!

As with every post that I'll make, here's my disclaimer:

I am a physician and protecting my medical career is of paramount importance to me. I have researched the Advocare products thoroughly and my wife and I have chosen to use them for our own personal weight loss endeavor. However, I will not provide an official medical opinion with regards to the safety and efficacy of the products for others. I've put in too many years of hard work to put my medical license at risk. Basically, I've chosen to use Advocare products for myself and you'll have to decide for yourself or consult with your personal physician to figure out if these products are safe for you too.
