How's it Going? {And a Giveaway!}

It's been 7 weeks since I've started the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan.  I'm basically sitting at the half-way mark because there's only 7 weeks to go until my partnership with Slim-Fast is over.

So, how am I doing?

Well, remember when life threw some curve balls at me?  One of those curve balls had to do with my health.  Nothing horrible, but it basically set me back a little from where I had hoped to be at this time in my Slim-Fast progress.

Because of that I'm not going to give you any numbers, because I've got 7 weeks left in the program and I want to WOW you at the end of it!  So you'll just have to wait until the end of April to find out how I've done.

How's that for a teaser?

But I would like to tell you about a few Slim-Fast products that after 7 weeks have become my favorites!

Now you all know how much I love Slim-Fast's French Vanilla shake (aka: Cake Batter).  But much to my surprise, a new favorite has emerged after 7 weeks on the program.  Hands down my absolute favorite Slim-Fast shake is Cappuccino Delight!


It is seriously SO good.  I love the slight coffee flavor of it!  If you haven't tried this one yet, then go do so immediately!  Yum!

Of the snack bars, I definitely have two favorites that have emerged.  This first one won't shock you because I've talked about how much it tastes like a Butterfinger, and all for just 100 calories!  Mmmm...  Peanut Butter Crunch Time, how I love thee.


My other favorite is their Double Dutch Chocolate snack bars.  They're chocolatey and slightly cripsy and I love 'em.


As for Slim-Fast's meal replacement bars, I seriously like them all!  For 200 calories, they are all yummy and satisfying.  But I definitely have a top favorite.  Their Chocolate Peanut Caramel.  It's just so ooey, gooey good people!


But a yummy second favorite is a toss up between Chocolate Cookie Dough and Chocolate Fudge Brownie.



Mm, mm! 

I would like to point out that because all of Slim-Fasts products are sweet in flavor, it really does satisfy your sweet tooth and makes it that much easier to pass up bad-for-you sweets, like cookies and cakes, while you're on the 3-2-1 program.  I often buy salty 100 calorie pack items from the grocery store just to get something un-sweet in during my day! 

Now, to hold you off until I give you my end-of-program weight-loss numbers, how about another Slim-Fast giveaway?  Another shiny new $50 American Express gift card is sitting here in my pretty little hands just waiting to be loved and adored by a proud new owner - would you like that to be you?

If so, just use the Rafflecopter form below to enter the giveaway.  Open to whoever can use an American Express gift card where they live (so it's open internationally people!).  As usual, you can do as much or as little as you like on the entry form... but each one you do is an entry!
