I know you have heard many times, to lose weight you must keep your metabolism burning. But do you know what metabolism is? Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body's cells. Metabolism converts the fuel in the food we eat into the energy needed to power everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical

Mercy it is already past noon, where does the time go? This morning I came across an article, I felt was worth sharing. It is about sugar being regulated as toxins. Sugar and other sweeteners have been proven to be toxic to the human body. The researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) released in an issue of the journal Nature, that sugar should be regulated as

WOW what a pretty sunshiny day! It feels more like an April spring morning than the first day of February. I have missed all of my blogger friends the last few days! Our 7th grandchild made her grand entrance into the world on Sunday, so I have been busy helping out with her two big sisters which are 4 and 3, plus loving on our new beautiful bundle of joy. Well today begins a new month and the

WhooHoo it's Friday! Did you know eating to few calories can cause weight gain? Well, I did and it's something I have to force myself to remember. This week I failed miserably. The scale ticked up 2 pounds because I didn't stay focused on eating 5 small meals a day to keep my metabolism moving.  When you don't eat enough it puts your body into starvation mode, it hangs on to fat to live on later

Good Morning, I am off to a slow start this morning. The weather is dreary and cold, one of those days which makes you want to stay in bed. Yesterday, I realized it was time for me to make a doctors appointment for a check up and blood test so I can get my diabetic medications re-filled. Before I started losing weight, I never had to remember to make appointment for check ups because I was

I hope all of my blogger friends had a great week. I keep a record of my weight to always keep it up front and center in my life . I weigh every Friday and write it down on my calendar which I keep on my desk. This morning I was down 10.2 pounds from what I weighed on 1-1-12 BUT I gained 5 pounds the first week in January so I am 5.2 pounds below where I began the new year. After I weighed

As I shared yesterday, I spend a lot of time researching stories, currently released research and articles about being overweight or obese. Last night I came across an article on food addiction. I stopped dead in my tracks and my mind went back to two years a go, at a time when my niece was struggling with drug addiction. She lives in another state but came to live with us for 2 months while

This morning my granddaughter looked at me and said "MaMaw how tall are you"?  I answered 5 foot 3. She replied. "I think you have lost weight, you look much shorter". I laughed but realized being only 4 she realizes there is something different about my appearance but she can't really figure it out. So she thinks I look much shorter instead of smaller. My weight loss goal for 2012 is 56.2

I always have my ears and eyes trained to be aware of news or research being released about being overweight, obese or diabetic. Yesterday I was listening to Sunday House Call on Fox News. Jamie Colby was interviewing Dr Siegel and Dr Samadim. They were discussing new research just released that being overweight or diabetic increased the risk of having Dementia. What is more alarming

I was visiting the SlimMax Facebook page and a satisfied SlimMax user posted she loves SlimMax. Jennifer has her 14 year old son using it, as she stated for the many health benefits it provides. At the beginning of school last Fall my teenage granddaughter started using SlimMax also. She dropped over 10 pounds. I think one of the biggest struggles for teenagers is their cravings for junk food

I wouldn't have believed it 2 years a go. But I definitely do now. I happened to see a health segment on Fox News about what the lack of sleep can do to your health. Actually there are several negative affects a lack of sleep does to your health but of course I keyed in on the weight gain information. It’s not so much that if you sleep, you will lose weight, but if you are sleep-deprived,

OK ... here is the all the proof I need. As I shared earlier in the week I gained 5 pounds in 5 days binging on Diet Coke. With no Diet Coke since Sunday I have lost 6 pounds. The craving control provided with SlimMax, I didn't even crave a Diet Coke or unhealthy junk food. I also think Diet Coke made with artificial sweeteners cause bloating from water weight gain. People use artificial

I very seldom watch TV in the afternoon, even if it is on I don't listen to it. But yesterday,  I just happened to have the TV on and Dr. Oz was on. Because of my concern for the health risk of using artificial sweeteners, it caught my attention and I stopped to listen. I've heard and even learned in my research over the last several years that artificial sweeteners may cause you to gain weight

Good morning, blogger friends! We've had above normal temperatures, with no snow so far this winter. I love snow so I keep hoping for a big snow storm. Maybe I should take advantage of the warmer weather to get outside and walk. Especially since my little vacation last week set me back. I decided I better get on the scale this morning so I would know if I needed to cut back my calorie intake

As I shared a few days a go, I have been traveling for the last few days. I just returned and as much as I love to visit my family, there is no place like home. I am trying to decide if I want to weigh in the morning or wait a couple days. There is nothing worse that getting on the scale and seeing it go up. I did so good through the holidays, I just hope this past week has not set me back :)

The sun is shining bright and for January it is warmer than usual here in the midwest. The tip below is one of my favorites and I sincerely believe it is one of the best tips I use to stay on track and focused on reaching my weight loss goal for 2012! Dieting and working out with a buddy is a great way to hold each other accountable and share the ups and downs. According to a recent study at

I'm back! I was traveling yesterday and missed blogging. I will be out of town for the next several days. Over the years our family as grown so much it is difficult to get us all together in December, so for the last couple years we celebrate Christmas with our extended family the first week in January. Will the next few days be hard for me to stay focused on my weight loss goals as all 30 of

It is a very cold day here in the Midwest but a nice sunny day. Did you know being cold burns more calories than being hot? There are so many things you can do to help in your weight loss journey which doesn't have to do with what you eat or how many calories you eat.

Good morning to all my blogger friends! The holiday season starts with Thanksgiving and goes through New Years Day for our family. It seems like we are having a get together every weekend during those several weeks. During that time I went down a few pounds and back up a few pounds. Then the day after Christmas, I was feeling very rebellious :). I picked up my bottle of SlimMax and said, I will

Happy New Year! It has been a long time since I have posted to my blog. But I didn't realize how long. This morning as I reflected back on 2011, I felt very blessed. It has been a good year. I stayed focused on my weight loss goals, not always being perfect but more so than not. The thing I have failed at is keeping the blog updated. I am going to do much better this year. Because one of the

It is a nice cool morning here in the Midwest, a little cloudy but a great morning for a cup of coffee and connecting with my blog friends. I have shared many different stories with you over the course of my weight loss journey taking SlimMax. In the beginning I focused on the numbers on the scale too much and shared a lot about how many pounds I had lost. If I had a week that the numbers

Where did the Summer go? I can't believe soon we will be looking at Summer in our rear view mirrors. Fall is just around the corner and I can't wait. It is my favorite time of year and means we are getting closer to our first snow of the winter season which I always anticipate with great excitement. What I can't believe even more is I have not written on the blog since June. I have tried to

My daughter has also struggled with being overweight for several years. She has given birth to 4 wonderful kids putting on more weight with each pregnancy. I have tried many times to get her to take SlimMax. But she just wouldn't listen. I think she thought there is no way something natural could help her lose weight. Finally 3 weeks a go Melissa decided she would give SlimMax a try. This

Last Sunday I wrote on the blog about zero and negative calorie foods. I shared I wanted to step up my game so I was going to eat only zero and negative food for two days this week and compare it to my weight loss from the week before. So Monday and Wednesday were the days I chose to give it a try. The week before I had lost 5.2 pounds and this week I lost 5.8 pounds, not that much difference.

Today when I sat down to write on the blog and post on our SlimMax Facebook page, I didn't really have any clue what I was going to write about. And it popped into my head that I should share my top 10 tips which I have used religiously since I started on my weight loss journey. To date I have lost 89 pounds and went from a size 26/28 to a size 16/18. These tips have kept me on track and

This is going to be a fun week on my weight loss journey. I want to loss 10 pounds before the 4th of July and another 10 before Labor Day so it is time to step up my game. When using zero and negative calorie foods for dieting it is very important not to forget to include protein in your daily food plan. Low calorie foods will help you lose weight, but you must have proper nutrition to keep you

I have written about zero and negative calorie foods before but I am so sold on this little trick to losing weight, I thought it was worth repeating. Zero Calorie Food: Although all foods contain calories some foods take so much energy to digest that your body actually burns up the calories from them in the process of consuming them. Negative Calorie Food: There are foods which take so much

Diabetics and people watching their weight are told to use the common artificial sugar free sweeteners such as Saccharin, Aspartame. Equal, Splenda and Sweet N Low and Sucralose. However, controversy continues to follow artificial sweeteners suggesting their link to certain cancers. Furthermore, all these sweeteners are known as excitotoxins, which contain neurotransmitters that “overexcite”

Today it is close to a 100 degrees here and the humidity is awful. What a perfect day to stay inside and just be lazy. Before I began on my lost weight journey lazy days like today consisted of cookies, potato chips and candy bars. Today it consisted of chilled strawberries and Georgia peaches sweetened with Xylitol. It was so YUMMY!!! It you use artificial sweeteners you should consider

Don't ever doubt for a moment you need fiber in your diet and if you don't eat enough foods that provide fiber you should find a good fiber supplement. This is funny because I normally find it easy to talk about health issues but for some reason I find it very uncomfortable talking about not being able to have a bowel movement. When I first entered into the nutritional field many years a go it

We've all heard it before: To lose weight, your body must burn stored fat. Yet despite counting calories and maintaining a regular exercise regimen, many of us still can't shed the pounds. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 66% of adult Americans are overweight and while the majority of them probably want to trim down, they're losing the battle. You see, they're not just fighting fat.

When I was diagnosed with Diabetes over 10 years a go it was no surprise. My Grandmother and Mother were severe Diabetics so with learned behavior I followed in their footsteps to the kind of foods I ate. Which is the reason I plead with my kids to develop good eating habits for my grandkids. I am also a firm believer Diabetes is a silent killer. It slowly destroys your eye site, kidneys and

One of the biggest problems I have encountered in my 35 years of yo-yo dieting and trying every diet you have ever heard of is eating when I am not hungry. There are many good effective weight loss products on the market. As I have said many times my favorite is SlimMax. However, there is no pill, lotion or potion that is a magic bullet which will cause you to lose weight no matter how much

Today it is cold, miserable and rainy. I would love to feel the nice warm sun beating down on my face for a change. So I have decided I am going to have a positive mind set  today and think about our vacation a few weeks a go to the Sunshine State. I still have a hint of my tan left so I will enjoy what is left of it. Mind set is even important when you are trying to lose weight. Matter of fact

Hi Friends, The last few days I have been sharing with you the results I have experienced from the new improved SlimMax. I have also been thinking there was something going on differently with my skin too. It seems softer and smoother like when I was younger.  But I kept thinking to myself you are just imagining it. But Saturday my niece dropped by and I hadn't seen her in 6 weeks. She

Good Morning World, Today is a beautiful spring day in my part of the world. It is a little cool but the sun is shinning bright. I feel better today than I have felt in years. I have written many times about how I struggle with diabetes. I take 2400 mg of diabetic medication daily, along with another 45 units of an insulin injection. When I first started on my weight loss journey with

Hi friends, I have been off the airwaves for awhile and to tell you the truth I was not going to start writing on my blog for another 2 weeks. But I am so excited I can't wait. Several months a go I hit a brick wall with my weight loss. After the holidays I got back on track and lost the 8 pounds I gained over the holidays but I could not seem to get past those 8 pounds. I knew I had come way

Have you ever tried to go on a no carb diet? Well I have several times and I failed no less than 48 hours into it. I have so much better luck eating resistant starches which are good carbs. Resistant Starch is considered a weight-loss powerhouse because it does not get absorbed into the bloodstream or broken down into glucose. According to Prevention magazine,  leading the way with this high

Hi Friends, Many of you may wonder where I have been. I didn't post through the holiday season because I was feeling very guilty. Why? Because I fell off the wagon for the first time in over a year. I put SlimMax on the shelf and didn't take it Thanksgiving through News Years. I avoided the scales during the time I was eating like crazy. Unfortunately I gained 8 pounds in those 6 weeks. I

Over the course of time I have been asked many times if SlimMax is the only thing I use to lose weight? Well the answer to that question is, SlimMax is the main nutritional product I take for weight loss. You have to consume less calories to lose weight and I couldn't do it without the appetite control of SlimMax. Plus SlimMax totally controls my cravings. I have said it before but it is worth

As the end of the month approaches I am really anxious to see how much I have lost in the month of September. I weigh a few times through out the month but on the first day of every month I record my weight in a journal. This allows me to look back and see how far I have come and how much farther I have to go. My husband said to me tonight as I was buzzing around the kitchen fixing him

The question I am asked the most is ... what is your best advice for losing weight? My answer always is the same, positive mindset. If you begin a journey to lose weight (especially if you have a lot of weight to lose like I did) with the mindset that your on a diet, you will never succeed. When I stated on this journey I started with the mindset that time passes quickly,very quickly and if I

Yesterday we had our last day at the pool with friends, family, good food and fun. We are winterizing and closing the pool on Thursday and with the way the leaves are already falling after such a dry summer it is a good thing. I am ending the 2010 pool season 85 pounds lighter with 78 pounds more to go until I reach my weight loss goal. YA ... I am over half way there now. The best news is it

I have been on vacation and it is great to be back. My average weight loss is 6 pounds a month, in August I lost 4 pounds even while being on vacation. There are different kinds of diets every where you look. Do they work? I would say yes IF the person sticks to it. Will most people stick to it? NO not without help. I would never discourage anyone from picking any diet of their choice. We all

SlimMax is made with a combination of 9 of the most powerful natural weight loss ingredients found on the market. We strongly believe that no single ingredient can provide significant weight loss so we have put together a formula of proven science based ingredients.

I have always heard you must eat to lose weight and I believed it but only to a degree. After last month I am now a real believer. As I shared in my last post I set 10 pound weight loss goals to upcoming events in my personal life. Well in May and June I lost 6 pounds each month. So I was determined to lose 10 pounds in July especially since I was going to have a new set of after pictures taken

I would take Wind Chill of 10 below zero and a foot of snow any day over a Heat Index of 110. This heat is kicking my butt. Being overweight makes it even harder to make it through this extreme heat we are having in the Midwest. I was thinking this morning how hard it has been on me the last week. If I still had on the 78 pounds I have lost, I honestly don't know how I would make it. I still

I took two SlimMax around 11 AM and within 30 minutes I was going strong. It always gives me a burst of energy but never jittery or nervous energy. I just realized it is almost 3 PM and I have not had a bite to eat since breakfast. Which is the worst thing for a person trying to lose weight to do, not eating totally shuts down your metabolism. If SlimMax has a down side it is controlling your

Recently I have had more than one person say to me ...  how do you stay on a diet? My answer is ... diet what diet? I NEVER NEVER NEVER let it enter my mind I am on a diet. I sincerely don't feel like I am. I am only making wiser and healthier choices. I found after a few months into my weight loss journey if I ever had the urge to over eat it was not because I was hungry. But because I would

Before I started on my weight loss journey, as soon as I woke up in the morning. I would head for the kitchen for a cold diet coke. It didn't matter if it was 5 AM or 10 AM. I always thought, it's diet, no calories, what's it going to hurt? Well I have discovered it hurts a lot of things. Some scientists say the artificial sweeteners in diet drinks fool your body.

I keep day dreaming about seeing the snow fly and the temperature so cold you can see your breath. Even better yet being cuddled up in my Snuggie in front of the fireplace with a pot of Chile on the stove. But come January when the temperature drops to below zero, we will be complaining it

Recently a new visitor on the blog asked a very good question which I have not been able to get out of my head. Sheri asked what type excercise program do I use? Well I wish I could say I excercise an hour a day or even 3 days a week. But the honest truth is I don't excercise at all. I was 160 pounds overweight when I started on my journey and I couldn't excercise or at least I was afraid too.

I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by. I have intended to write on the blog for several days and each time I am sidetracked. I have 6 adorable grand kids and they keep me hop'n in the summer. My daughter told me yesterday schools starts in a month. It seems like they just got out for the summer.Recently we celebrated the 4th of July. We always celebrate with family with a cookout and

As I have shared before I have been a severe diabetic for over 8 years and being overweight for so many years is what caused my diabetes. In the past 8 years I have suffered with constant Kidney/Bladder and Yeast infections, health issues diabetics learn to live with. Plus my eye site has suffered due to complications from being diabetic. My eye site was changing at such a rapid pace I had to

I never realized in a million years I was hurting my children when I used food as a reward or taught them horrible eating habits. Plus it doesn't stop with just your own kids it carries on for generations. Your kids are what you make them. Oh how that fact hits home with my family. Both my kids struggle with weight just as I have all of their lives. Not only that I see the same trend happening

Yesterday a good friend asked me a question which I didn't really want to answer. I wasn't ready to confess yet. I didn't want to tell this part of the story until I had reached my total weight loss goal. But I realized that I am not the only one that struggles with being overweight and suffers from low self esteem. I have a good friend and a business associate that married her high school

Do Women Enjoy Flattery? Really I am not one to be moved by flattery BUT here lately it has put a smile on my face. I think it is because for 35 years I have been ashamed of my appearance and I really didn't deserve to be flattered. To be honest I just didn't like myself. This past weekend my nephew was in town for the first time in several months. All our family was at a baseball game. There

5-20-2010Food As A RewardMy husband loves the Biggest Loser and even records it if we are going to be gone. Now for me I am the total opposite. I don't like it and won't even stay in the room when it is on. The reason I dislike it so much is because to me it is very unrealistic.There is no way on God's green earth most people including me would be able to live up to the expectation of the

4-2-2010I am in shock! After several days of my husband reminding me my jeans were way too big, I decided it was time to invest in some new clothes that fit. Plus I was tired of tugging to pull my pants up many times a day. When I started taking SlimMax, as much as I hate to admit it I have to ... I wore a size 28 (4X). Today I purchased a 14/16. No that is not a typo. All the way home I kept

3-30-2010I Forgot How Good It Is!Have you ever heard someone say, I didn't realize how good it was until it was gone?Well that is exactly how I felt yesterday. For the first time in months and months I forgot to take my SlimMax. Late in the afternoon I started wondering why in the world was I so hungry and why did my mind keep going to the Reese cups I keep in the cabinet, in case my blood sugar

2-25-2010Looking Gooooood!I know I have said many times that losing weight had become so much more to me than looking good or getting back that "sexy" look from my youth. Well that is still true today.However, today I do have to admit that the attention I have been receiving from my husband is a true moral booster and a great motivator to help me stay focused on reaching my weight loss goal.

12-31-09Holiday Weight Gain-No Not For Me!This is my first post since the holiday's began. I am thrilled to share with you that I made it through the holidays with NO weight gain. Actually I lost 3 pounds which is several pounds less that my average weight loss since I started taking SlimMax. But it was better than gaining . The best part was I didn't suffer while everyone else was enjoying

12-13-09Please Don't Become A Statistic!I become more and more determined each and every day to spread the word to anyone that will listen. You don't have to be overweight or suffer with health risks due to diabetes. If anyone on this planet knows this to be the truth, it is me. I have suffered with being overweight for 35 years and diabetes for over 8 years. All of this changed when I started

10-09-09To hear what Dr. Thomas and others who have used SlimMax say about this amazing product please listen to the SlimMax Radio show. You can find it on this web site.When I first set out to formulate SlimMax to replace the Ephedra based products our company sold, it was all about losing weight to be more attractive and for more sex appeal. You know what I mean... get back in your "sexy jeans"

9-20-09I am ashamed that I have not kept up with the SlimMax blog. To tell you the truth blogs are new to me and I get so caught up in life I forget the importance of sharing SlimMax with others.As I shared with you in an earlier post I am a severe diabetic. I take an insane amount of prescription diabetic medication. On a daily basis I take 2500 mg of oral meds as well as 100 units of insulin by

As each day passes I become more passionate about SlimMax. I usually save Sunday as a day to worship in God's house and spend quality time with our family, so the post today will be short. But very important.I can't believe each time I step on the scale, I have lost weight. This week I lost 3 pounds for a total of 38 pounds. I weigh less now than I have in 21 years. But more important than

Over the course of time our immediate family and extended family, parents, in-laws, sister's, nephew, niece's have used one or more of our products. EXCEPT for our son. Actually he was a brat about it. He wouldn't even listen. Until SlimMax... Until NOW!On 1-5-09 he joined his co-workers in a Biggest
