The Slimfast Challenge

Exciting news from here in Alyland – Slimfast has contacted me with an awesome proposal.

As we all know, wedding and beach season has crept up on us, and all of us have a few pesky pounds we want to lose just in time. And whether you have a big party to attend, a wedding, or just want to look hot on your summer getaway, it’s crunch time!

To show how easy (and inspiring) it can be to lose a few pounds, Slimfast has issued a challenge to me: They sent everything that me and a friend need to do Slimfast for one month – shakes, bars, even a sexy new yoga mat. (Said friend can feel free to comment below to ID herself!)

At the end of the successful challenge, should we succeed, we get a gift certificate for a new swimsuit or LBD – AND one reader will win the same challenge kit we both got. (Which, let me tell you, is IMPRESSIVE.)

And the plan is quite simple: Replace breakfast and lunch with a shake or meal bar and then have a sensible dinner (25% carbs, 25% protein, 50% veg/fruit) and u se snack bars to curb hunger mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Plus we can go online and sign up to slim-fast.com (free registration) and get the benefits of their meal-planners and access to RDs if we have any questions!

It’s too easy for me to mess up…except, in my case, “sensible dinner” usually involves crabcakes and a cocktail at some event. I must learn how to adapt!
We will give you weekly updates about our progress – both of us really only want to lose a few pounds, but it’s still exciting!
