Maybe In a later post I will post before and after pictures. First I must say this all started because a friend of mine was losing a ton of weight and I figured it's easier if you have someone to help you through so we could both do this together. In March 2012 I started just eating less and going to the gym more often. Seriously that was just the beginning. In April I went to Utah to meet up with my parents and drive back to California with them. While we were in Utah my mom had gotten a book from my Aunt called "The Green Smoothie Diet
.
I read the whole book on the drive from Utah to California. I was hooked and ready to make huge changes in my life. My mom and I made our first green smoothie while in California. It was great! So we tried a few more recipes while I was there. Then I was convinced I needed my own blender and was ready to become a green smoothie fanatic. Ha Ha I have tried several greens, some I liked and continue adding to my smoothies and some I will never try again! You live and learn. Other days I would realize I didn't have everything the recipe called for so I would make my own concoction. Kelli (my cousin) has been a good sport and trying them and telling me "well you've made worse ones before."
But little did I know that here I would be 9 months later loving green smoothies, exercising 5 days a week and losing weight. So far I have lost 47 pounds.

That is super cool Emily! Tony & I made green smoothies one week...I think we need to do it again and more consistently. So do you just do it in place of eating breakfast?
