Why does eating healthier cost so much? Fresh fruits and vegetables cost so much more than their canned and boxed versions. And they don't stay fresh long enough. It is very frustrating to spend so much and then have to throw some of it away.
I am glad for Protandim to offset the imbalance.

Everyone should be taking Protandim
You’ve got to take another look at this stuff, Protandim. It is the first NRF-2 activator out there, and is all natural. The studies and data on it are ridiculous. Don’t take my word for it, look at the data. Over 20 universities are studying Protandim on different diseases because of its amazing affect on reducing oxidative stress in cells and organs.
Dr. Joe McCord’s amazing scientific medical breakthrough is shown on the ABC Primetime Investigative report here:
http://www.mylifevantage.com/shannahbgodfrey/default.aspx
After watching the video, read the peer-reviewed data on Protandim. To read the peer-reviewed journal articles, click on the products tab, go to dietary supplement, Protandim, and click on ‘more’ button, and several peer-reviewed journal articles on medical clinical results are listed at the side and bottom.
The other thing that surprised me was the list of diseases that Protandim prevents or treats, as reported by the government in Protandim’s third patent. If you’d like to see that, I can send it to you. It was developed over 35 years of research for the purpose of reversing aging (oxidative stress) in the body, but the medical trials and studies surprised the researching doctors by how this affects everything else.
Just go take an honest look. I am out to educate as many people as possible about it. Let me know what you think after you research the data.

Fell off the diet wagon
Hey, Girlfriends,
I fell off my diet wagon, a long, hard fall. It started when I started HCG drops. Maybe the injections are better. The drops just made me feel hungry, like I was pregnant and eating for two, I mean voraciously hungry. Ravenously hungry. But the drops were a gift from my daughter, so I finished them all, thinking it would get better. Nope. My carb addiction is back.
My next attempt is to vounteer for medical studies on obesity. I have applied to Quintiles in Kansas City, MO, for a weight reduction study. We'll see if they accept me. I auditioned for The Biggest Loser on TV, but haven't heard anything from them.
I need help! I can't seem to stay on anything longer than 3 months at a time, and this body is going to take more than 3 months to get slim. Dang! Then of course, there's the depression cycle when nothing matters any more (probably my brain's limbic system sabotaging myself).

I am not making a video again until I lose more weight! Week 6
Well, Girlfriends, I am failing again this week. I have fallen off the diet wagon. The Girl Scout cookies arrived, and I tried to just give them to the kids, but failed. I refuse to make another weight loss video for YouTube until I weigh less than my last one, and I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around it.
But I hate being fat, and I hate this apron of fat on my belly. It hits my thighs when I walk, cuts off the circulation in my legs when I sit, and is annoying to get around in the shower. I need to hate it enough to get back on my diet.
Sometimes it seems useless to try when their is little progress. I'm sure that is just the lymbic system in my brain trying to keep the status quo. I need to use my pre-frontal cortex part of my brain to visualize the 145 lbs that I want to be. Visualizing is the only way to overcome the lymbic system's resistance to change. Dang. Help!
In my head, I am the thin woman I was up until my late 30s, then I look in the mirror.

Shannah's weight loss - week 5!
Well, Girlfriends, I fell off the wagon last week, so I didn't bother to make a weight loss video. It was a weight-gain week. I am so upset with myself. I have no good excuse except lack of will power. The kids were off school all week because of snow and ice, making the Christmas vacation drag out even longer! They just went back to school today, yeah!
We had to think of activities to take the 3 kids and 4 grandkids to, or we'd all be crazy with cabin fever and kill each other! So we went to the mall playground. We went to the movies. We went to the library. We spent too much money, right after Christmas. I had a hard time finding non-carbs to eat and gave up.
I also think that the HCG drops don't work right for me. They seem to make me really hungry, as if I were pregnant. My brain then no longer cares about my goals. HCG drops work well if you stay on a 500 calorie diet of mostly raw veggies with a little protein.
I just couldn't do it this week. Today my husband took me to Red Lobster for lunch. I did not eat the cheese biscuits. I ordered grilled tilapia with broccoli on the side. I drank water. I am trying to get back in the swing of my diet.
Dang. I hate lost time and backsliding. This is hard enough already! One thing I have to say is that my husband has always loved me no matter what. He never criticizes me. He is still my Prince Charming after all these years!
Thank goodness for Protandim. It is what probably keeps me from being diabetic already.

Shannah's weight loss - week 3!
Okay, Girlfriends (and Guyfriends),
This has been a hard week. I only lost half a pound, even on HCG drops. But I have to tell you that I cheated. I ate carbs during the week leading up to, and including, Christmas. So my weight actually looked like the stock market - up, down, up, up, up, down, down. Finally it's down below last week's weight, yeah, but not much.
I've been so good, even through Thanksgiving, but I couldn't resist my daughter's homemade pumpkin pie at Christmas. She bakes her Halloween pumpkins, peels off the skin, then freezes the pulp fresh. And her pie recipe is to die for!
Today I am back on track, being really good, avoiding the carbs. Did I ever tell you when and how I weigh myself? I only weigh myself in the morning, after using the bathroom, before I eat or shower. I let all the air out of my lungs- and hold- while I step on the scale, naked.
This is the closest I am going to come to my actual body weight, with nothing in my stomach, dry hair, empty bowels and bladder, and no air weight in my lungs, no clothing. This keeps all the variables constant, so I can get a good comparison to my previous weights.
So as of yesterday, I weighed 296.0 lbs. I'll count any little victory I can. You know, the other problem I have is that I was taught to not waste food. My dad always made us kids be in his "clean plate club." Wasting food was a sin. As a mother, I can't stand to see my kids waste food, so I ate whatever was left on their plates (I could never get them to buy-in to the 'clean plate club' idea).
You don't know how hard it is to just throw good food down the garbage every day. I know it's better than packing it on me, but it just feels so wrong. I was a skinny child, skinny teen, and skinny into my 30s, until my metabolism slowed down. I could eat thirds every meal and not gain weight. Then it has been hard to overcome that eating habit when I slowed down and started putting on weight.
But I'm doing it - I'm throwing away the food the kids left on their plates. Whatever the dog (also picky) won't eat, goes in the garbage. Hard to do!

Shannah's weight loss - week 1!
Hello, all! I am starting a video diary to track my weight loss. I am posting it on a blog because I am hoping to receive tips, ideas, support, and encouragement from all my online friends. I started my weight loss journey at 300 lbs, and my target weight is 145 lbs. I currently weigh in at 297.5 lbs, so progress has been made. :) You can't let me give up or give in!
