y doctor last week. He told me I am diabetic. Now if any of you really read my blog, you will know I am a BIG snacker. So when the doctor told me this news and he told me that it would be life altering, I think it hit me worse that when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Because deep down inside I knew I would beat the cancer, whereas Diabetes sticks with me for life. It's depressing. I have felt all kinds of emotions, scared, angry, sad and much more. Well this is kind of where my next review comes in. Have you ever heard of Habitwise? From the website: Habitwise products are designed to help you make better decisions while you develop healthy habits. Habitwise however is not a substitute for medical advice. So Habitwise sent me getLoss for women. This includes: Bracelets. They have warm and cool colors, I chose the warm colors. They also have getLoss for men, getTracking for kids, getWet for both men and women.
2-yellow bracelets (stands for oil choices)
3-white bracelets (stands for milk choices)
3-purple bracelets (stands for meat choices)
6-green bracelets(stands for vegetable choices)
3-pink bracelets(stands for fruit choices)
5-gold bracelets(stands for grain choices)
8-blue bracelets (stands for water choices)
There are 2 scenarios to use the getLoss which are: Following food Groups, or Counting Calories. I chose Counting Calories. I started by visiting MyPyramind.gov. According to them because of my weight and height I need to be on an 1,800 cal daily diet, which I brought down to 1,500 calories.
So what you start out with every morning on one wrist, I chose my left to start is 30 bracelets. One bracelet is 50 calories so as I eat my calories I move the bracelets to the right wrist. EX: I eat an orange-100 calories, then I move 2 bracelets to the right wrist then when you have moved all bracelets, you have eaten your 1500 calorie diet. You get the idea. Well I was very skeptical at first, and there were a few days that I didn't do what I was supposed too, too busy and forgot to count the calories, or forgot to move the bracelets. But once I got used to it, I used it and buckled down and really paid attention and it has helped. I have lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks. Not a lot but it's a start. It's a very interesting weight loss program, however I don't think it's for everyone. I liked it, but not really sure how long I will stick with it. Visit Habitwise and see for yourself.
Habitwise is giving one of my readers a chance to win a getLoss for women kit. All you have to do is visit Habitwise and choose the kit you would like to try and also tell me a little about the history of Habitwise.

I know too well the devastating feelings that go with hearing "Welcome to the world of Diabetes" That's exactly what my doc's nurse told me when I was diagnosed 3 months ago.
It is a lifestyle change and it has to be a permanent one. This isn't like going on a diet to loose weight where you can be lax around the holidays or eat real good for 4 days to party on the weekend. This is a "do it or loose your eyesight, loose a limb or end up on dialysis." I've had to give up my beloved Sugar Laden Pepsi and I haven't had any sugared soda since my diagnosis. In addition to getting my glucose in the 115-140 range, which is good since it was over 400 I've lost 26 lbs.
If I can do it I know anybody can. I still have little treats once in a while but I know it's a treat and not a license to treat myself every day.
The Get Wet for Women Kit is a gorgeous, eye-catching hue!
They believe that caring for ourselves requires a lot more than knowledge. That is why they develop products for women, men and children that bridge the gap between knowledge and “do-ledge”.

I would love to try the get LOSS™ for Women kit. I have tried everything out there without much success. My latest adventure was Weight Watchers and I was just to tired at the end of the day to figure out my points. This would be great because I only would need to worry about the calories and nothing else.
I learned Habitwise™ began with a simple weight loss tool originally named, A-Wrist-A-Trac, which was discovered by a team of clinicians at the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) in Omaha, Nebraska.

I would like the Get Loss for Women. I learned that the women who started the system found that simple bracelets served as friendly reminders and empowered them to accomplish many goals.
