Hello, Everyone! I lived in Honduras for 18 months, have worked some incredibly random jobs between getting my degrees, and I enjoy spending time with my family more than anything. Laughing is my favorite past time and Disneyland is my happy place. I love taking naps and going on vacation with my husband any chance I get, otherwise I get homesick without him. Is it too cliché to say that he’s my home? Okay, then I won’t. I’ll just say… my husband is my entire world.

*Side Note: when we first measured on February 3rd, I couldn’t finish measuring everything since I was late for work. Because of that, the above measurements have been modified to the most recent measurement I have (most of which is on the second measurement date February 10th).

OPTAVIA Review

I have been trying this new weight loss program with OPTAVIA called the 5×1. It is designed to have you eat every 2-3 hours and drink a lot of water. The plan is for you to have 6 meals a day, 5 of the meals OPTAVIA provides, and the remaining meal is up to you, though there are plenty of resources and recipes within the program to help you out.

When my sister Chrystal moved in with me, we decided to embark on the OPTAVIA journey together since we have a hard time deciding what to eat and everything that includes. OPTAVIA is designed to make meals quick and healthy choices easier.

The meal replacements that OPTAVIA provides (called Fuelings) are all packaged separately and the cook time is usually less than 3-5 minutes in total making it incredibly convenient for anybody who doesn’t have the time or energy to spend on meal preparations.

Here are some basic facts about the 5×1 program through OPTAVIA

  • Meal replacements
  • Around $450 a month for 5 meals a day that they send straight to your door
  • Easy to return and amazing refund policy!
  • They provide recipes for your 1 meal that you can choose from
  • You can eat 5 of their brownies a day and STILL LOSE WEIGHT!
  • Worth every penny so far!

Below Are My Stats Week By Week

With working a full-time job I rarely have time to dedicate to writing a review every week. Chrystal and I made a deal where she keeps the blog up to date and I work our Instagram page. Because of that, my stats and pictures will be continuously updated below.

If you want to see more in-depth updates and weekly posts, you can visit Chrystal’s page here where you can find her list of progress reports at the bottom of the page.
