Introduction & End of Week One

Welcome to my blog!  I am a 32 year old woman living/working/dreaming in Houston, TX and I am happy that you found my page.

I have struggled with weight for as long as I can remember, except for all four years of high school (1995-1999) and two years after my divorce in 2008.

I have always been able to lose and gain weight very quickly.  A few years ago, I lost 70 lbs due to exercise and hardly ever eating.  I was in a period of my life which I now remember unfondly as the "Great Depression".  I got over it and... the weight slowly creeped back up.

Fast forward to 2012.  I decide to make a change in my lifestyle and get my ass back in the gym.  4 months of vigorous 4:45am wake-up alarms during the weekdays, 45 minute cardio-fueled workouts in the morning and I lost a few pounds.  Maybe 4.  I was livid.

I went back to being lethargic and gained the 4 pounds back, plus some.  I'm 5'10 and I carry extra weight well but I don't want to be 250 lbs anymore.  My face is a marshmallow, my boobs are ginormous and my thighs get sweaty and rub together when I'm wearing a dress.  Ick.

A few months ago, my friend began selling a weight loss solution called Plexus Slim.  She was adamant about how it helped her chronic pain, as well as lose a bit of weight.  I was not interested as I had tried "diet pills" before (i.e. Hydroxicut and a few others I can't remember the name of right now.)  After she kept on me for a few weeks, I began my own research into other people's success stories with this product.  I still found the price to be quite steep but I was reminded that I have repeated the mantra, "I would give anything to be thin and healthy", and if this were true, I could afford to spend my money to meet my goal.


I have just completed the first week on Plexus Slim "The Pink Drink" and Plexus Accelerator.  I couldn't be happier with my energy level and results.  In 7 days, I have lost 3.2 lbs and 1-7/8" total from the key areas I am measuring.

I look forward to keeping you updated about my results.  I have pledged the next 12 weeks to this product.  Yes, it is a lot of money.  Yes, I could use the money for other *really needed* items but I feel my health is worth it.  Plus... I just want to feel attractive once again.
