The 10 Pound Milestone

YaY!  I have lost 10 pounds as of today!  I am beyond excited!  When I began Plexus Slim in November, I set a personal goal.  I hoped to lose 10 pounds before Christmas.  Ok...so, I cut it close, since today is Christmas Eve.  But, all that matters to me is that I am losing weight during the holidays.  That amazes me each time I see one less pound showing on the scales.  


Have I given up any holiday goodies or meals?  Nope.  I have eaten any and everything I have wanted.  I've baked for several days and am going to again today.  (My favorites are peanut butter Hersey Kisses blossom cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, and sausage balls).  Tomorrow my favorite dessert on Christmas day is Pecan Pie. Believe me when I say, I will be eating it.  Since this week-end, I have eaten out at O'Charlie's and Zaxbys.  I have had cheese dip and chips and have grazed on all the good things lined up on my dining room buffet. Tonight it is home-cooked ribs, courtesy of my husband.  Tomorrow it will be a large, traditional Christmas breakfast, followed by a traditional Christmas supper.

Well, how in the world do you loose weight eating all that?  Willpower!  Plain and simple.  Do I typically have the willpower to lose weight at anytime of the year, especially during the holidays?  NO!  This is why I love Plexus Slim!  It has given me the willpower I was lacking.  The best way I can describe it, is that first, my cravings for sweets are not very strong.  Second, I get full faster.  Third, if I do go to reach for a third or fourth cookie, I can resist...the willpower is there.  

I have not given up even one outing, one meal, or one sweet that I have wanted during the holidays.  I have not felt those awful feelings of depriving myself or not being able to eat what everyone else is eating.  It is a liberating place to be. Freedom!  

No, I am not breaking records in my weight loss amounts.  I'm not trying to.  I have lost 10 pounds since November 6, 2013, and that is 10 pounds I know I will not gain back. (I think that's actually pretty dog-gone good!) Plexus Slim is a healthy weight loss drink that I will continue to drink the rest of my life.  I get a giddy feeling because I know lots more weight is coming off! 

I know many people do not start their weight loss plan until after the New Year when they make a resolution to lose weight.  If you are getting ready to take the weight loss journey, why not do something you can stick with? Most people are not going to stick with a gym membership, or counting calories, fat grams, carbohydrates, or points.  And are you really going to continue to eat expensive packaged foods in a box for the rest of your life?  Seriously?  And guess what happens when you quit eating those little boxed foods, or quite counting points or fat grams?  I think we all know the answer.  You gain it back...plus some.  It is a horrible snowball effect of dieting that most of us have gotten into.  Like I said, I am a customer for life with Plexus Slim.  I no longer need to try all the herbs and pills that might make 5 pounds fall off easy while I shake to pieces, or makes my head tingle for hours, then stops working after a month or so.  I feel blessed to have found a product for the long-haul.

 It doesn't get much easier than Plexus Slim.  Pour the powder, (similar to Crystal Light), into a bottle of water or a glass, shake it up, then drink it. You're done for the day.  You are armed with willpower and so much more!
