In the beginning of the year many people resolve to eat healthy, lose weight and get in shape. Usually by the time February rolls around most people have already fell back into their old eating habits and become less active. I know that the Winter makes it hard to get out and exercise, especially if you cannot afford a gym membership. Thankfully Spring is right around the corner so if you found yourself slacking on getting some exercise in you can get back into the swing of things over the new few weeks.
I REALLY need to lose weight, more so now then ever. I just found out about a week ago that I have a lot of glucose in my urine which is a sign that I have Diabetes. I have to go and get some blood tests done to confirm but to be honest with you I believe that I most likely do have Diabetes. I had Diabetes years ago (weight related) as well as Gestational Diabetes when I was pregnant with my first child. After I lose weight the Diabetes went away. I have been told that when I hit my 40′s most likely it would return. I’ll be 43 in May. Sigh…
What I need is a way to jump start my weight loss goals.
I love reading about and watching weight loss success stories. I especially love to see before and after pictures. I find them so inspiring. If they can do it when I should be able to do it either.
The Biggest Loser is a great show if you are looking for inspiration and motivation to lose weight. WOW! Have you seen some of the transformations of the contestants? I love when they do their follow up show where you get to see the contestants months later. It’s amazing how different they look. They always look like entirely different people.
This year The Biggest Loser Club and MultiGrain Cheerios want to help you to get started on reaching your weight management goals with a special FREE 7-day plan with tips, advice and inspiration. To participate all you need to do is purchase a specially marked box of MultiGrain Cheerios and enter the exclusive code found on the box on the MultiGrain Cheerios website. There you will find the tools you’ll need to get started on your weight loss journey including…
- A BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator to help you to determine how much weight you need to lose. It will help you to know if you are at risk for serious health problems.
- A special 7-day meal plan that also includes strength training and cardio workouts.
- 15 yummy recipes that will help you fuel your body the right way to get through your day.
- Daily workouts that pair cardo with mobility and resistance exercises which work out all the major muscle groups.
Along with using the online tools, eating MultiGrain Cheerios cereal in the morning is another simple step you can take toward helping to manage weight. Studies have shown that people who eat more whole grain tend to have healthier body weights, and with 110 lightly sweetened calories per serving, MultiGrain Cheerios has more than 16 grams of whole grain per serving (48 g recommended daily) to help keep you on track for a healthier you this New Year! Not only that MutiGrain Cheerios taste great too. I love all types of Cheerios. Especially topped with a banana. Yummy!
But wait! There is more! You can join MultiGrain Cheerios on Twitter during each episode of NBC’s The Biggest Loser: Couples Tuesday nights at 8PM EST through May 24, to connect with past contestants, share weight loss tips and discuss how to become your own Biggest Loser.

have lost almost 60 pounds- and the winter icestorm did not help with motivation but learning self control is a biggie.
still am getting the eat breakfast and feel better in my system but end up munching on cheerios as my snack and anxiety food instead of grabbing sugarry stuff when stressed- fills me up and good for me
self control s a biggie and stopping eating after a certain period at night
Since Jan 6 I have lost 10 pounds. I want to lose 20 more. I have been eating cheerios for breakfast and they really fill me up and I know they are good for me.
