My personal little miracle...

Hhmmmm.... where to begin?  I've shared nearly every part of our family's life with you, but there's a part that I've always kept to myself... my own weight issue.  I was one of "those" girls in my younger years.  You know the ones; they are actually slim and maybe even, like in my case, have a few curves, but they still focus in on their perceived flaws.  In my case, I spent my life wearing long shirts to cover up my backside, which I now look back on and wonder why.  I was thin; beyond thin actually and I did nothing to work at it.  I ate what I wanted to eat and was active but never worried about working out.  Other than a few fleeting attempts at dieting that lasted all of a day or two, I never really gave it much thought.  I remember when I was engaged and planning our wedding; I just knew I needed to lose weight because I thought I should be 102 lbs as I walked down that aisle, so I lost the 3 1/2 lbs needed to meet that goal:)  Those were the days!

Well, as for all of us, life takes over.  We get older, have children, realize that we enjoy food, our time is spent on our family and leaves very little time left over for working out, etc. etc. etc.  Sound familiar? For me personally, add into that scenario my own health problems which make working out difficult, sleep deprivation since Gracie's diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes and getting up every couple of hours to check her blood sugar every single night since, and the resulting craving, need even, for sugar and soda to give me the fast energy kick I need to get through my days and nights.  Over the past few years it's all caught up with me and nothing seemed to work; not strict calorie control, not zero fat, not working out daily, not even giving up my beloved soda every day.  Honestly, I had totally given up on losing weight, getting into shape, and ever having any energy at all.  I mean, yes I have about 50 lbs that I want/need to lose, but I'm comfortable in my own skin and can accept my added curves; what I can't accept however, is risking my health and the possibility of not being around to raise my children and enjoy my future grand children.

As a Type 1 Mom, I am at a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, even certain cancers because of what my life demands of me.  Add into that mixture my existing problem with severe asthma and the fact that in the past 18 months I've been flattened by pnuemonia and bronchitis twice, weakening my lungs all that much more.  What's a girl to do?  Yes, I was ready to just give up.  I gave it over to God and asked Him, begged Him actually, to please just allow me to be healthy enough to finish raising my girls so that they didn't have to navigate through their young lives without their mommy.  Does God hear our prayers, our pleas, our deepest desires?  YES!  A couple of weeks ago, we ran across Plexus Slim.  It was totally accidental since we were looking for something not even related to weight loss.  This product was originally being developed as an aide in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, showing success in both type 2 and type 1 diabetics, by allowing more even blood sugar control and even allowing insulin use to be significantly reduced in type 2 diabetics.  They noticed in all the studies however that EVERYONE was losing weight.  Not just a pound or two, but significant amounts of weight without trying to.

Fast forward to today... I have lost 7.2 lbs since trying Plexus Slim and Plexus Accelorator for the first time on August 30th.  That's over 7 lbs in 8 days people!  Have I worked out, changed what I eat or even tried to not eat at all to achieve this?  Nope.  I was skeptical.  I've tried everything over the years, miracle pills, specific diets, weight loss programs, extreme working out; you name it, I tried it.  I went into this determined to not consciously make any changes so that I could see for real if all the testimonies I was hearing really were true.  IT REALLY WORKS:)

Plexus Slim is a powder that you add to a bottle of water once a day.  ONCE A DAY:)  It's NOT a meal replacement.  OOOHHH... and it tastes yummy; no joke, I actually look forward to it every morning.  Since I'm a, (ahem) "middle aged woman" I also chose to use the Plexus Accelorator to speed things up.  Yes, I have the patience of a flea and want to see results FAST:)  I noticed right away that it surpressed my appetite.  I just really wasn't hungry all the time and when I would eat, I'd feel satisfied much sooner, therefore I automatically eat less.  Please listen though, I am not making a choice to not eat, I'm simply feeling full on less food.  I also noticed right away that I no longer have cravings for sweets and sodas.  My sugar cravings had gotten out of control over the past few years and I was "needing" several sodas a day just to make it through my day.  From day one on Plexus Slim, my cravings have totally disappeared:)  A surprise benefit that I hadn't anticipated, was that there is an ingredient in Plexus Accelorator that is helping my asthma as well, by opening my airways and keeping them from tightening up during my normal daily activities.  WOW!  I've spent my life using my rescue inhaler several times every day just to get thru normal activities.  When I actually work out, I need my inhaler several times during my exercise time.  As a matter of fact, the big reason I have gained weight and have such a hard time losing it is that I've spent most of my life on Prednisone, a steroid that is used to keep my lungs functioning.  Since using Plexus Accelorator, I've noticed that I actually have gone days without requiring my rescue inhaler at all:)

I'm so excited about this new product.  I can't believe the success I've had already.  I really think that I can be close to my weight goal in time for the holidays this year:)   Did I mention that my husband is using it as well and has lost 9 lbs in the past 8 days too?.  Seriously, I asked God for a blessing and He sent me a miracle.  If you would like to give Plexus Slim a try, you can order a 3 day trial pack.  It has 3  packettes of Plexus Slim and 3 Plexus Accelorator capsules along with an informational DVD and is only $11.95 with FREE shipping.  If you live locally and want to give it a try this weekend, let me know because I have a limited amount of these trial packettes here at home and can get it to you today:)
