How my Husband lost 17 Pounds + a $100 Visa GIVEAWAY!

So here it is, the final post documenting my husband’s (Mr Fairy!) weight loss journey. You might recall in my last 2 posts, where I told you guys that my husband had decided that it was time to shed a few pounds. In my first post, I explained that by making just a few changes he had lost 4 pounds. And then in my second post, I talked about how he had lost an additional 11 pounds, on top of that, in less than a month! Well I’m happy to report that here we are 6 weeks later from where we first started, and he has lost a grand total of 17 pounds! He went from 223 – 206! Yay! According to Mr Fairy, this is the lightest that he has been in 20 years! Just to reiterate these are the changes that he made that brought about losing those pounds:

• For dinner he’s focused on eating a smaller portion of meat and a much larger portion of vegetables, as well as keeping an eye on the total calories
• Instead of eating a high calorie sweet for dessert, he satisfies his sweet tooth with a delicious Fiber One Dessert Bar or Cookie Bar
• He’s eating dinner earlier in the evening
• He replaced his breakfast (which was a high-calorie granola bar) with a Fiber One Dessert Bar
• He’s continued with his daily walks and/or evening bike ride

Here’s a little bit of info about the bars that he’s been eating. The bars are all less than 150 calories each; some are even 90 calories! And they come in delicious flavors like the New Cheesecake Bars in Salted Caramel Cheesecake and Strawberry Cheesecake! Cinnamon Coffee Cake is another great flavor! They’ve got Cookie Bars too… like their delicious New Soft Baked Peanut Butter Cookie, the New Crunchy Sugar Cookie and Chocolate Chewy Bars. Yum!! Each Bar has 20% daily value of Fiber as well, another important consideration at this stage in our lives! With Fiber One you don’t have to fight your instincts, or your sweet tooth! Go on. Have one. 🙂
