Yes, I weighed in on Friday. Was it what I wanted to see? No, not really. I lost half a pound. Not the best loss I've ever seen on the scale, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction! And, if you have been following my blog, you'll remember that about this time last month, I GAINED a pound...so to LOSE even half a pound around this time of the month (especially considering how bloated I feel...ladies, I KNOW you understand!), really is bigger than it seems! :)
And as the picture above says, let's be honest here! I did NOT gain this weight overnight and, consequently, I'm not going to lose it that fast, either! And if I'm really honest with myself, I don't really want to, either. I've done more than my fair share of fad diets and have lost weight really quickly only to see it come back on just as fast. If I really want this weight loss to last, I need to take it off in the same manner it came on...little by little! :)
One of the times when I was doing Weight Watchers, a leader once told the group that a healthy weight loss is anywhere between a half a pound and two pounds, with the average being 1-2 pounds per week. In the last 6 weeks, I've lost 10.2 pounds. While that may not be Biggest Loser type results, it IS real-world results and I'm thankful for it.
If you have been following my blog, you know I can never say enough good things about Plexus! Others have started noticing a difference as well, and have started asking me about this new-found "miracle." But, Plexus isn't magic. Yes, it makes losing weight easier - but it doesn't make it magically disappear. In order for it to really work for me, I had to make some choices. Plexus helped me feel full on less food, but I have to make the choice to stop eating when I'm full. Plexus has removed the intense cravings for carbs, sweets, and soda...but I have to choose to eat/drink them in moderation. Plexus gives me more energy, but it is my choice how I use that energy. It is true, I haven't followed a diet plan and I haven't even exercised that much since starting Plexus and my results have been at least equal to, if not better, than the times I was following a strict diet plan and trying to exercise. But, I am making choices to eat healthier, which is so much easier without the cravings. And the more I choose to eat healthy, the more I actually WANT to eat healthy. And I know that if I were more consistent in my exercise, I would probably have even better results. But, I am thankful for the results I am getting and, even more importantly, I'm thankful for the way I feel! I love having the energy to do things with my boys and that food no longer controls my life!
If you have struggled to lose weight like I have, perhaps you would like to give Plexus a try and see how it will work for you. You don't have to commit to a whole month. There are 3-day and 7-day trial kits you can order from my website to see how you like it. If you find that it's something that will work for you and you would like to use it regularly, there are several options for how to order. You can place an order each month and pay the full retail price, you can sign up as a preferred customer and get it at a discount, or you can sign up to become an Ambassador (like I did) and get it at wholesale! If you are interested, let me know and I'll be happy to help you decide what's best for you without any pressure to do anything you don't want to do! :)
