Technically speaking, they did not come through on their promise... I cannot fit into my size 6 jeans.
But the Special K Challenge is definitely worth it.
I started out at 142 lbs (6 months after birthing a watermelon)
I was working out for only 30 minutes a day before starting the diet... but that soon fell to the wayside.
I got sluggish and just didn't have the motivation to do much of anything. I've read that this is normal... something to do with detoxing your body and toxins stored up that are releasing into your bloodstream. You'd think we would be rewarded for doing something good... so the diet isn't at fault for that part.
It was hard at times. I considered raiding my kid's snack stash.
But just as I was hitting my breaking point I got to have another snack or meal. And, hey, the snacks aren't half bad. Then again, I might have eaten cardboard and called it bellissimo.
On the last day of the diet I weighed 136 lbs - for a grand total of 6 lbs lost.
Not too shabby for two weeks.
*shhh... don't tell him I shared this, but I've got my hubs dieting too : )*
So I will NOT be doing the whole diet again - but I AM still eating Special K breakfast cereals and shakes and the snacks. And I'm slowly but surely getting back into the exercise routine.
I'm gonna call this a success and definitely worth the money I saved.
LOL - YES SAVED... Special K meals and snacks cost a LOT LESS than all the junk food and carb-full meals I was eating.

Meal Plan Monday
I'm trying the Special K diet for two weeks (and by the way, it actually saved me money to buy those specific items instead of my normal meals and snacks) so the meals are a little healthier than normal (with carb add-ons for the family). If it works as promised (with exercise as well) then it may become a regular thing...
Head over to OrgJunkie for some more great meal plans!
Monday - chicken salad/ baked potato
Tuesday - cheese ravioli in pasta sauce/ garlic bread
Wednesday - streusel cream cheese & pumpkin spice muffins (a mouthful!) - same recipe but I added a dollop of cream cheese and streusel
Thursday - corn and chicken tostadas
Friday - bacon (veg-bacon for me) avocado sandwiches
Saturday - crockpot chili and cornbread
Sunday - leftovers
Monday - steak salad/ baked potatoes
Tuesday - burgers (veggie for me) & fries
Wednesday - P-Dub scones
Thursday - veggie stir fry and steamed rice
Friday - turkey sandwiches & soup
Saturday - potato soup & french bread (not so much diet...)
