It’s official. I am participating in the Shaklee blogger program and I’m laying it all out there, be warned. The photos and information in this post are for mature audiences only (that means no pointing fingers and laughing at me). Here it goes…
As of the start of this journey my FitBit scale journal entry read: 224.1 lbs. That is my official starting weight and believe it or not I have already lost 7.9 lbs since January 1st. I am morbidly obese. My measurements are even more disturbing.
- Waist 48″
- Arm 17″
- Thigh 31.5″
- Calf 17.5″
- Hips 52″
- Bust 47″
- Chest 42″
TMI? Well, I need to get it out there so everyone knows where I am in my journey. It makes me accountable. How can I start a weight loss journey and never tell you what I weigh? So there it is.

I weigh more then you right now! You are so inspiring Lisa. I know you can do this and I can’t wait to see you transform. 🙂
Awww, you are so sweet, thanks Ali!
You go girl! I wish I was joining you on this journey, but maybe next time. I can’t wait to see your progress and cheer you on!
Thank you Ivette! I’m glad to have such awesome friends like you.
You can do this!!! Yo Go Girl- one day at a time!
Thanks Rach!
Good for you for “putting it all out there”! We all have to start somewhere, and I think it is great that you’re willing to show the numbers so your readers can really see your progress. I don’t know much about this program, so I am definitely interested in following along on your journey to a healthier you. I’m sure you’ll do great!
Thanks LeeAnn, I’ll be sure to honestly share how I’m doing with it so that you can judge for yourself if it is something you would benefit from.
So thrilled to be on this journey with you Lisa! You’re so brave to post this! Leading by example. Thank you!
We are going to rock it Kelly!
Best of luck Lisa. You can do this!
Thanks Robin, I’m excited to start losing….lol. Never thought I would want to lose something before.
I know we are going to see a transformation because you always do what you set out to do.
You are going to do this! It takes a lot to be able to expose yourself like you have to the blogoshere. I’m on my own weight loss journey. My best advice is baby steps and one day at a time. Congrats on being a Shaklee 180 blogger!
You can do this girl! We’ve all got your back!
You can do this- but it has to be something you want and you will work for. I have struggled almost all of my life with weight and I think you are brave and I look forward to your updates.
Good luck and can’t wait to see the progress
Best of luck on your journey!
Go Lisa! I know it’s scary to put yourself out there like that but the support that come our way is amazing. I know you got this.
Just wanted to stop by and say GOOD JOB! Eight pounds is a fantastic start.
I can’t wait to watch you lose it all. You’ve got this!
You are going to do GREAT!!! You’ve already jump started your weight loss which is awesome. Excited to hear how you like the Shaklee products.
I’ve seen this Shaklee all over the internet. Good for you for sharing your “before” it will be great to see the difference!
So happy for you! I know you can do this and you WILL rock it!
Good luck in your new journey!!
Good Luck on your journey! I cant wait to watch your transformation!
You got this!! 🙂 Just take it one day at a time, one meal at a time and the pounds will come off. Good luck!
Way to go Lisa!! You can do this. I am so proud of you for putting it all out there – I have some before pictures of myself before I lost some weight and I have never had the guts to ever show anyone. Good for you!! You are going to do great!!!
You are going to do such an amazing job on this program, we both are. So happy to be part of it with you and watch your transformation over time!
Good for you! good luck
Good for you for getting it going. It sounds like a great plan. Keep cranking and make it a lifestyle change and you will keep it up I can guarantee.
Congrats Lisa! You have great courage and can totally do this!
224 pounds doesn’t sound as bad as your description – perhaps you can add your height and BMI for context.
Do you have a goal weight? Do you have a clear and powerful vision of both you progressing on the journey and your final destination that you can hold on to no matter what happens along the way?
Hi Stewart – my height is 5’2″ which makes carrying around 224 lbs a task. Thank you for your comment. My long term goal weight is 145.
