3 week mark...

It's been a couple of weeks, but I was honestly waiting for some actual results to be able to post. I mean, yes, I've lost some weight, but not a staggering amount. For some reason it never feels real to me until I notice it in my clothes. So today, I went to the mall by myself for awhile (for some much needed "Holly time"), and of course, ventured into the Loft where they were having a great 40% off sale. I began picking up some things to try on, and because they didn't have my size, I decided to go a size down. Now, I'm short (aka "petite"), so it's important to remember that anything in a petite size is smaller (not just shorter) than the same item in a regular size. I tried on a pair of parents one size down in a petite, and they FIT. I then tried on a super cute dress, also a size down and it also fit perfectly. Yay! I didn't buy either item (the dress wouldn't have worked for work, and the pants I almost bought, but they were a dark purple color that I didn't have anything to match). The most motivating thing for me is when I notice a difference in my clothes. The weight loss has slowed...we're at 6lbs, maybe 7, depending on the time of day. But, I've lost inches and a whole size in my clothes. I'm still beginning my day with Plexus Slim mixed into a tall glass of water, one accelerator, and probiotics. The bottom line is that it helps to control hunger and boosts metabolism. It works! I'm also working out 4 days per week. So...in 3 weeks I've lost 6-7 lbs, and gone down one size. Not bad! www.plexusslim.com/hollywarren

One week...4 lbs?

Okay, I'm in. I know Plexus claims to curb appetite, boost your metabolism, and help you lose weight. But y'all...it does! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back and read my post from 7/20). So, it's been 8 days since I began, and I've lost 3-4 lbs, depending on what time of the day I get on the scale. So, let's go with the higher number, right? I mix the slim (nutritional supplement that is in powder form, like Crystal Light) into a tall glass of water in the mornings, and drink it on my way to work. I take one accelerator (tried two, but found it made me jittery, so reduced to one), as well as the probiotics. I always eat breakfast (they say 30 minutes later, but really, I eat a protein bar with the drink and it works for me). I eat a regular lunch and dinner, but I'm no longer overeating. I have truly lost most of my mid-morning and mid-afternoon cravings. I work in an environment where there is always food somewhere, especially candy, or cakes, or something. I LOVE SWEETS, but I haven't had the sweet cravings so I've been able to happily say no. I do still eat some sweets on occasion, but not nearly as often. I've also been working out 4 times a week and drink A LOT of water. For a long time, I read comments from people who posted comments about having stopped drinking soda after they began Plexus. I never thought that would be me. I love soda. I always drink diet, but I typically have about two a day. I don't drink coffee, so it was my source of caffeine, and my go-to if I was stressed. I'm now drinking (after 8 days) one soda every few days!! I Sometime soon, if I keep losing, I'll post before/after pictures. I'm not so concerned with how fast it comes off, just that I'm consistently seeing some loss. Yay!!
