Month 8 Update ....

Well ... it's been 8.5 months since I started using Plexus Slim and Accelerator and I do believe I have hit a bit of a weight-loss plateau.  Pooh!!  Still at 24 pounds lost ... which is still 3lbs/month ... so I am good .... but I've been stuck for about 6 weeks now.  I AM, however, still losing inches!!  Liz and I just measured today and I am down 5.6 inches from 2 months ago ... mostly from waist, shoulders, and neck!!  And I am pleased with that!  About 36 inches lost overall in 8.5 months.  I know the scale needs to be tossed and I need to pay attention to the other Non-Scale achievements ... But I am hooked on weighing, as are so many over-weight people!! 

I am sad that I have not officially lost another 3 pounds this month ... although I DID see that number on the scale yesterday ... but my rule is that I need to see it TWICE for it to be official ... and I have yet to see it twice!    I AM very excited, though, about the announcement Plexus sent out yesterday of a NEW PRODUCT which is available to Ambassadors only right now.  It has been tested by several Jeweled Ambassadors and some of their downlines and EVERYONE lost weight or inches or BOTH in the 3 weeks they've been using it.  I listened in on some testimonial calls and everyone sounded very excited about this new product.  It is reported to be a "Plateau Buster" ... which has come along at exactly the right time for me!!  It does not have a name yet and they are hoping to have it available for Sale to the Public in 60 days or so.    It is said to give great energy and amazing willpower over food.  And to target Fat stores.  Here is a link to some info on one of the ingredients in this new product ... Caralluma fimbriata .    This sounds very promising!   And this is just ONE of the ingredients in the new product.  As I understand, the people who trialed this used it in place of their Accelerator+ capsules.   I'll Keep you posted!!  

So .... the above announcement is one of the reasons I had Liz take my updated measurements .... so that I would have something to compare to once I start the new product.   The OTHER reason is because a friend of mine shared a link on Facebook to a website where women can order CUSTOM made dresses and other clothing.  You can select a style of dress you like and then customize it by your own measurements (Ta-da ... the other reason) and also by sleeve length, and hemline, and neckline!!  And the prices seem very reasonable!!!  The site is called eShakti.com and I think I am going to have to try them out!!   I have a wedding to go to in October and a fancy Plexus "Winner's Dinner" in May ....

So ... a couple of days ago I decided to go shopping in my closet to see what dresses I had in there that might work for a wedding ... or a fancy dinner.   The good new is ... I found several .... and they all fit!!  The bad news is .... I'm still FAT.  Sigh.  I know I look and feel better than I did 8 months ago ... but I still have a LONG WAY to go.  85 more pounds would help.  The other bad news is that every dress I tried on has Shoulder Pads!!  Every one!!  How long ago was that??  They can be, and probably will be, cut out ... but still!!  LOL.  Oh ... and I am still going to be needing  Lycra and Spandex Support systems.   Now .... what to do about my sagging upper arms??  SO GLAD I am not in the classroom writing on the board anymore ... these babies would be a major distraction!!     I was very pleased to be able to get into these dresses ... but I realized that I still have a long way to go!!   At least Plexus makes it EASY and I don't feel like I am denying myself anything .... so I can keep on doing what I am doing ... plus try out the new product ... and hopefully have some more weight-loss to report soon!!!

Is Plexus Expensive?

Another question I get asked a lot is "How much does it cost?" and /or "Is it expensive?"   Cost and expense are relative things.  What seems cheap to me might seem overwhelming to you and possibly vice versa!   We are not supposed to print our costs publically.  I am not sure why that is, but I will abide by those rules here .... and give you a link at the end of this post for you to check our prices online.

A classic response to "How much does it cost?" is .... "How much is your health worth?"   Once you are ill, would you spend whatever it takes to feel better?

Here we have a product which was developed for people with Type II Diabetes to help control their blood sugars ... and as a side-effect people lost weight and found their chronic pain fading!!  Have you ever listened to the side-effects listed on the prescription drug commercials on TV??  None of them are good ... and many mention DEATH!  What the heck?  So here we have a product (Plexus Slim) which will help control your blood sugar levels and as a side effect you might lose weight and have less chronic pain?  What would that be worth to you??

How much are you spending NOW on products for your health??   Total up your prescriptions and your supplements ... all the things you are taking to help you feel better ... to give you energy ... to stifle your pain ... to attempt to fix what is going wrong inside you?    What do these cost you per month?  WHAT IF you could get off some of these products totally.  WHAT IF you could replace some of these products with superior Plexus products??   WHAT IF you are able to replace synthetic drugs with Natural Supplements?   What would that be worth to you?

 

Now .... what are you spending on sweet treats and salty snacks??  How much do you spend on Starbucks per month?  Vending machine treats at work?  Sodas??   WHAT IF one pink drink a day helped you not want any of those things anymore?  What would that be worth to you??

How long have you had a weight issue?  How many diet products have you tried before??  How much did they cost per month?  WHAT IF this is the LAST product you will ever need?  WHAT IF it works so well for you that you can get off some prescription medications?  WHAT IF it helps you beat back cravings for expensive drinks and snacks?  WHAT IF it gives you more energy and  makes you feel better overall?  What would that be worth to you??

So .... think about all of that.  What would it be worth to you to FEEL BETTER?  What would you be willing to spend per month??  $50??  $100??  $250??  $500??  Per month??  Seriously consider that question.  Get an idea of a price in your head.  Consider the possibility of feeling 20 years younger, less pain, balanced wonderful energy, clear-headedness, smaller waistline, better sleep, fewer chronic issues.  What would that be worth? 

Now .... watch this video .... I have been following this woman's posts which I have found amazing ... but her video testimony is VERY compelling ....  Brenda Bobo Sanders: Is Plexus Expensive?    Pretty intense .... so be ready.

How much have YOU spent over the years?   Are you still overweight?  Why did you stop the above programs??

Plexus Slim is the easiest and most effective thing I have ever done to lose weight.  I am NOT Dieting.  It is NOT a meal replacement.  I drink ONE pink drink in the morning when I get up and take 2 accelerator pills with breakfast and then I go live my life .... eating and drinking as I see fit.   I have lost 24 pounds in 7.5 months.  I have lost over 30 inches all over.  I am sleeping so much better.  I have level sustained energy.  I am off Zoloft.  I will hopefully soon be off Blood Pressure meds.  I feel 20 years younger .... maybe even 30 years younger.   I plan to continue to drink my Pink for the rest of my life.  I will find a way to pay for it!!  As an Ambassador, it pays for itself!!   

Remember the number you formulated up above?  The amount you would be willing to spend per month to feel better?  Well here is what Plexus Slim and Accelerator cost .... Go to My Plexus Page and click on Shop Plexus and scroll down to Plexus Slim and Accelerator ((Don't worry ... you can just look!!  It doesn't reach out and grab your credit card #.))   And it costs even less if you sign up as an Ambassador!   

Are YOU worth it??  I think you probably are!!


If another Plexus Ambassador shared this Blog with you ... please return to them to purchase product.  I'd love your business .... but it's a Good Karma thing!!

Plexus Slim is NOT a Diet

One of the most common questions I get lately is "Are you dieting?  Are you on a Diet?"  And my honest answer would be "NO!  I am NOT Dieting."    However .... I have changed the way I eat over the course of the past 7.5 months.  Plexus Slim .... the Pink Drink .... has changed the way I want to eat.  It has been subtle .... but I swear my cravings are totally different now!   

Eating habits are hard to break because we are such creatures of habit!!   We all have dishes we like at certain restaurants and at certain times of the year.   And we all have snacks we prefer at home and while out and about.   ALL of those have changed for me.  Chips and dips at home have become fresh veggies and humus.  Chips/snacks in the car have become Nuts & dried Cranberry Mix.  I have never had an issue with eating too many sweets .... now I don't crave them at all.   I have always loved fried foods ... now they don't appeal ... so I am trying new things at restaurants.  I have always loved pasta and rice and bread and potatoes ... and now I don't so much.  And that's it.  Things I have always loved just don't appeal anymore and sometimes I find myself at a loss as to what to eat.  So ... I try to surround myself with healthy options. 

I am an emotional eater ... things get rough, I reach for food ... and drink!!  Keeping the healthier options available helps with that!!   Plus things aren't rough around me much (Knock on wood!).   My emotions seem much more level, too.  And I went off my anti-depressant!  Plexus is helping with so much!

Now ... let's talk drinking!!  I like to drink!!  I like BEER!!  I like Red Wine.  I like Margaritas!!   I have not given up any of these things.  HOWEVER ... I am no longer having a glass of wine at the end of every evening.    I CAN .... I just don't really want to!    I do drink beer every Friday evening when I am out with my husband and I might be drinking 2 instead of 3 .... or 3 instead of 4?  Maybe.  Not sure.  Depends on how long we stay.    I also drink beer or Margaritas on Saturdays sometimes.  I don't drink everyday.   

My weight-loss has been SLOW compared to some others I see posting about Plexus.  But it has also been steady and dependable.  I am losing 3 pounds/month approximately.  I am happy with that.  Here is a picture comparison of me in February ... at 18 pounds lost ... then me in April at 24 pounds lost.    That is just a 6 pound change .... but those 6 pounds seem to matter ...

 

 

I was trying to look nice that evening in February ... the man I am standing next to is Ted Cruz!!  I was at a big fundraising function that night!  And I had lost 18 pounds!  But I am no fool!  I know that I still have about 85 pounds to lose.  And I know that I won't look the way I want to look until I do ... and even then, who knows?   Apparently people who know me are seeing the changes in me .... even when I don't.   Ted Cruz didn't care ... he doesn't know me!!

 

I am NOT on a diet.  BUT ... I am eating differently.   Plexus Slim seems to be changing what my body wants.  I just have to listen ... and be willing to change.  I do NOT feel like I am denying myself anything.  I'm NOT denying myself anything.  It sure is a lot easier to eat smarter now!

 

Meats .... vegetables .... salads ..... more meats .... more vegetables .... more salads .... pretty easy!!

 

Plexus is making me healthier from the inside out ... and it is showing on the outside!!  I just need to keep listening to my insides!!
