My Special K Challenge Results: Two Week Challenge Complete

I won.  I did it.  I’m shocked.  I am officially 220.4 lbs this morning at weigh-in.  My goal was to lose 6 lbs. in two weeks while doing the Special K Challenge and I met my goal.  Why am I surprised?  Because I just had surgery and I am still healing which means I get very little exercise right now.  Honestly, the meal plan was relatively easy to follow and it involved a lot of my favorite foods.  The healthy recipes shared on the site not only looked delicious, but tasted really good too.

As I stated when I started the challenge I was hoping to gain the confidence to maintain a healthier lifestyle that would encourage weight loss and it has worked.  Although I used the Special K Challenge as a 2-week catalyst I am sure I will revert back to it as needed and use the tips and tricks found on the site.  The tools are valuable and I don’t want to become one of those statistics that lose their motivation.

The Special K Plans

The Special K plans are also customizable to women’s lifestyles. There are on-the-go options for busy lifestyles and adventurous recipes for “foodies,” plus vegetarian recipes. After selecting their meal plan and activity level, women are given a personalized Special K plan that is unique to their needs and goals. Women can easily track their progress online via their mobile device.

So, what does the future hold for me?  I have set a new goal weight of 200 lbs by Spring 2012.  I haven’t totally figured out the plan yet, but it is probably going to be finalized next week so stay tuned!

Facts

The Special K survey also found that 75 percent of women said they aim to gain confidence by managing their weight in the New Year. At the same time, more than 63 percent of women find that personalized meal plans or tracking tools make weight loss programs easier to follow. In addition, 64 percent find a lack of support the reason for getting off track from a weight loss plan.
