Sensa and ShopNBC

Hi there,

I've landed in Minnesota and have checked in my room. This weekend will be amazing!
Time to let other people know how Sensa has been and still is working for me! Sensa will also celebrate their 2-year anniversary on with ShopNBC this weekend, so be ready for some amazing prices on Sensa!
I will be live testimonial on ShopNBC with Dayna Devon tonight and then Brandy will join us tomorrow for the rest of the weekend.

For times check www.shopnbc.com, under program guide, select your time zone and then search for Sensa.

I've lost 56 pounds so far and am feeling great! All I can say is give it a try, it's the best decision I ever made for myself!

I lost lots of weight with Sensa, so can you!!!!

If you've been reading my blog for a while you know I've been losing weight with Sensa. I haven't been posting regularly (that's what happens with 3 kids), but wanted to give you all an update on my weight loss.

I've lost 52 pounds so far and only have 8 more to go to reach my goal to be in a healthy weight range! I have no doubt I will get there, thanks to Sensa!

Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Minnesota to give a live-testimonial on ShopNBC, with Dayna Devon. I can only tell you, I had a blast!!!!
We did some shows on Sunday and some on Monday. If you want to see them and find out more about Sensa, you can check them out on www.shopnbc.com, check under program guide, click on previous week, and if you then check under Sunday 6/5 and Monday 6/6, you can click on Sensa weight loss and this will give you the chance to watch the shows online.

In September 2 years ago I was an obese mom of 3 that didn't want to leave her house and hated going shopping as I was a size 18-20 (and they were tight). I was very skeptical but my hubby convinced me to give it a try. I honestly tried so many products and this was the last one I was willing to try. Since starting Sensa I have lost 52 pounds and I can tell you, I feel great. I now shop for size 10 jeans and medium tops. And this with a product I thought wouldn't even let me lose 10 pounds!

I am forever grateful to Sensa for giving me my life back!

Here are some pictures taken at ShopNBC while waiting to go on for the live-testimonial:

I am so happy I gave Sensa a shot, it truly changed my life. When I thought there was no more hope and I was just going to be an obese mom of 3, Sensa came along and really helped me get my life back! Give it a try, I've been there and have never looked back!

my goal is so close!

Hi there,

It's been a while since I talked about my weight loss journey. I started in September '09 and so far I've lost 56.5 pounds of which 45 with Sensa.

I've gone from a size 16 jeans to a size 10-12 depending on the brand. I'm in a size 10 dress and I went from a size 16-18 top to a medium (yes, I'm not even a large anymore!). Another thing I've noticed is that my rings are loose, at a certain point I'm going to have to get them adjusted. The one thing I regret is not measuring myself as I've lost a lot of inches!

Sensa is by far the best product I've used and I've used lots of them over the years! Nothing worked, well some of them did but then when I stopped, I gained all of it or more back.

The only thing you need to do with Sensa is sprinkle it on your food and Sensa will do all the work. It will make you feel fuller faster. You need to stop eating when you're full. And this will mean you'll need to take food home if you're in a restaurant.

I was very skeptical at first but I already started losing weight in the first week and I've never looked back since. I can not remember being this weight before, not sure if I was in college or not. I still want to lose weight, I want my BMI to be in the healthy weight range. I've been in the obese range, am still in the overweight range and healthy is my goal!

I will get to my goal weight (13 more pounds to go) by the Summer. That's when I'll finally be going back home to see my family in Belgium and England.

If you feel you could lose a little or a lot and you've tried everything and nothing really worked. If you feel that after having 3 kids that this is the weight you will be forever (trust me that's where I was), then please give Sensa a try. It changed my life, I feel so much better, I'm not out of breath anymore when I climb our stairs or when I walk to school.

If you want to give Sensa a try, head on over to www.trysensa.com and use the code Ann15 for 15%off your order.

If you have any questions on how to use it, or just some support, you know where to find me!

Sensa update week 38

I lost 1.5 pounds this week! The progress is getting slower and I know I need to start exercising but I don't want to yet. I'm hoping for better weather so I can go on walks and be more active.

The more I think about it, it's pretty incredible I lost 54.5 pounds since the 1st of September. First of all, the time has flown by and second, I couldn't have done this without Sensa in my pocket!!!

If you're not sure and want to give Sensa a try, please don't hesitate, there's a free trial and this weekend, Sensa will be on ShopNBC. In Oregon I think they are on channel 20. They will be on on Saturday night and all day Sunday. I'll be calling in on Sunday around 12 lunchtime. ShopNBC has the best value to get Sensa!

6/9: -1.5

Sensa loss: 42.5

total since 1st of Sept: 54.5

Sensa update

Instead of copying and pasting my whole journey, I'm going to start from scratch.

So total lost since September till 5 /19 was with Sensa: 40, total weightloss: 52

My weight this morning:

5/26: -2

So Sensa: 42

Total: 54

This week's been a hectic week and it's not looking like it's going to calm down soon. The workers will start today in pulling down the fence and pulling out the wooden deck! We'll be without a deck till next Tuesday, but the weather is not looking good anyways, so we're not missing out.

I'll make sure to take before and after pictures!

Now for the weight, last week I gained 2 pounds which I lost again this week. I'm at a plateau I think and really need to start exercising to get this weight moving again. I just don't really have the energy, but I will try. I also need to stick a sticky note on my forehead to remind me to drink my water every day :)

If you want to give Sensa a try and you're still not sure or you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me either on my blog, on Twitter (@gunzie73) or on Facebook (Ann Guns).

Off to Swimming I go with Abby.

See you later.

Give Sensa a try, it really works!

Remember I told you I was going to LA for my Sensa photo-shoot and taping? Here are some of the pictures I received. The weekend was a blast and I got to meet some great people that are on the same journey as I am.

I can not believe I lost 53 pounds since the 1st of September of which 41 with Sensa (I started Sensa on the 16th of September)

If you would have asked me in September if I would reach my first goal, I would have said no without hesitation as none of the diets I tried before actually worked. With Sensa, I've never looked back and am convinced I will lose my final pounds!

Here are my after pictures (taken on 4/23/10)

Sensa update week 33

Not a lot to report this week. Am still losing weight so that's great! I tried almond milk this week instead of fat free as it has less calories, but am not liking it, so back to the fat free milk. Maybe I should give soy milk a try.

I can't wait for the Summer to come, I want to eat outside in the sun and the salads taste way better then!

Sensa update week 31

What a week it's been! We've had some medical problems with my oldest daughter but we'll be fine after next Tuesday's procedure. There's nothing worse than seeing your child in pain, I have to tell you!

Normally when I'm stressed I eat and with Sensa again this hasn't happened. Sensa's completely changed my mindset.

I'm emotionally drained with all the things that have happened and I'm looking forward to my weekend away to Los Angeles, thanks to Sensa!

My husband and myself went shopping on Sunday and got all the things I needed to take with me to Los Angeles. One extra thing to take? A big giant bruise on my right arm!

We were in a store and I had lots of tops in my hands, didn't see the poof between the post and the table and tripped. I tried to stop myself from completely falling on the ground and therefore banged my right arm on the concrete post.

Yep, it's huge, black, green and blue! Just what I need on my arm for a tv taping and photo-shoot (hopefully there's lots of make-up).

Well, I'm checking my list and will start packing soon to make sure I have all I need with me!

I'm not sure if I will have time to blog but if I do then I'll keep you posted.

I only lost 1.1 pound this week but I'm super happy with it!

Sensa and ShopNBC here I come!!!

Sensa update week 30

What a beautiful day it is today!! The sun is out, still a little chilly but I don't mind too much. I can't wait for the Summer to be here.

Well, dear readers. I have reached my first goal of 50 pounds!!!!

I started this weight loss journey in September and have lost 50 pounds, of which 38 with Sensa. I can't wait to celebrate. My husband will get back from Japan on Friday, so we'll celebrate then or this weekend.

The thing I notice the most at the moment is how flat my tummy is! I have a belt I couldn't even put on in September and now I'm on hole 4! I'm just a happier person overall!

I'm super excited to go to Los Angeles next week Thursday for my interview, photo-shoot and ShopNBC taping. I'm going shopping this weekend for some flattering clothes as I can tell you I own none of those at the moment!!

Exciting news!

I've been sitting on this news for a while now but cant wait any longer! If you've followed my blog for a while then you know I've been losing weight with using a product called Sensa. I started in September and have so far lost 48.3 pounds of which 36.3 with Sensa.

On the 22nd of April, I'm flying to Los Angeles for a Sensa photo-shoot, interview and taping for the ShopNBC show!!! When I got the news I was so nervous, but after talking to some of the girls that have already done this, I'm a little better. I'm actually also nervous for the pictures as I'm always the one that's never on the pictures! Don't like to get my photo taken.

Next Thursday and Friday (15 & 16) Sensa will be on the ShopNBC, so if you want to give it a try, check HERE for the times it's on.

I'm not sure when the taping of the 24th will go on air but I will let you all know.

Sensa update week 29

Well, it's been a stressful week. We had some unwanted visitors...rats. I was freaked out, kids all slept together in Abby's room upstairs, city came by and put rat poison in the sewer and my super exterminator came by and put traps down. We caught one rat last Friday and haven't seen any rats anymore since Monday, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Normally when I'm stressed I eat...this time I ate oranges and almonds instead of my usual peanuts and chips I used to eat.

I did good with Easter although I forgot to sprinkle my dinner!

I'm still not drinking any diet soda (well, I have to admit I had one on Monday, but that's way better than my usual 1 or 2 a day).

I'm drinking lots of green tea and my usual water.

I didn't lose a lot this week, but I didn't gain either...I'll take the 0.2 pound loss!

Ian went to Canada for work for 3 days and had very good steak which he didn't sprinkle...no weight loss for him this week, a little gain.

Sensa update week 28

This week I started month 1 sprinkles again and it must have kick started something as I've lost 2.1 pounds this week.

Three days ago I gave up diet soda, I'm going to try and go without it for 2 weeks and see if this will make a huge difference. The diet coke was my sweet for the day, but so far I'm not craving it. I bought green tea and green tea with orange to have something else to drink than water. Am loving the taste of it!

I googled foods that increase your metabolism and I bought grapefruits and almonds. I already have oranges but I'll make sure I eat 1 a day. Let's see if that makes a difference too.

I'm feeling great! One of my rings actually needs to be made smaller as it might come off!

I worked out on the Wii yesterday (Jillian Michaels) for 15 minutes only (I know, not a lot but you need to start somewhere right?) and I can tell you I'm feeling it today, my legs are stiff! No workout today but will do another one tomorrow!

Talk to you soon,

Sensa update week 27

We went to the zoo yesterday and walked for 4 hours. Oh man, we were tired when we got home.

It was great fun, the sun was out, not too cold and most of the animals were out, although a lot of them were sleeping.

We went out for dinner last Friday with another couple and had a great time, drank too many mango margaritas I guess, cause this week I gained 0.3. I know, it's not a lot but if you want the scale to keep going down than any weight gain is too much.

One thing I regret is that I never took my measurements in September as I've lost so many inches everywhere. It's not really about the scale alone, the inches is what counts too.

I feel great, the sun is out and I can't wait to lose more weight.

For some of my readers that were asking about the sprinkling in public. It took me a while to get used to it but now I don't mind at all anymore. I always have my shaker in my handbag (well, I forgot it twice).

Sensa listened to their customers and have come up with a solution for this. Also if you're at work and don't have access to your bag all the time, Sensa has come up with Sensa Slims on-the-go packets.

These packets are the perfect way to stick with Sensa when you're away from home. You can keep these in your desk, pocket, purse or car.

Easy to take with you to a restaurant, movies,...

These packets are pre-portioned for one meal. I know when I started my journey in September I wasn't sure how much to sprinkle but these packets make sure you sprinkle enough.
