Welcome to My Plexus Journey!
Welcome to my Plexus Blog!
You probably found this blog because you were looking for a way to lose weight that's all natural and that actually works. I'd like to start by telling you a little bit about my story and how I came to know about this tremendous product.
It was almost three years ago when I first started thinking about losing weight. I had gained quite a bit of weight after having my third baby, and since he was almost two years old, I figured it wasn't about to come off without me doing some serious work. I started looking into weight loss supplements and I found one that seemed promising. I purchased it and I started using it right away. It wasn't a magic pill, by any means. I cut way down on my calories and I started exercising HARD. Most days I would exercise for at least an hour a day, and some days it was more like two hours. The weight started coming off, and before I knew it, I had lost about 40 pounds.
I felt amazing! I couldn't believe I had lost so much weight.
I had been toying with the idea of getting a permanent form of birth control because I was finished having babies. So, I made an appointment with my NP, because my yearly physical needed to be done anyway. That weekend, I wasn't feeling right and realized that I was late. I had never been late since I started getting my weight under control, so the morning before my appointment, I took a pregnancy test.
It was positive.
We hadn't been preventing pregnancy, but I really didn't think I would get pregnant. I felt like I was too old, but I was only 37. It happened, and I freaked out.
Once the news settled in, I actually started looking forward to having a new baby. However, it wasn't more than a week or two before I learned that I was going to miscarry. That news came as quite a shock, and I spent a lot of time trying to reason with myself that they were wrong. When the miscarriage started, I was in horrible pain. I went back to my NP and she referred me to a doctor so that I could talk with him about getting a D&C and a tubal at the same time. I didn't want to go through that again. He referred me to another doctor who agreed to do both of the surgeries and we set it up. She gave me medication to help me deal with the pain in the meantime.
That night, I took the medication and I went to bed. I woke up at 3am and I was in terrible pain again. I took more medication (Tylenol with Codeine) and it didn't touch the pain. I managed to wait it out until my kids went to school, and then I drove myself to the hospital emergency room. They called the doctor and she came in and I had surgery around 1:00 in the afternoon.
She did the D&C, the tubal, and she removed a rather large cyst from one of my ovaries. I was just glad it was over, and before long my husband was able to come in and take me home.
What followed was weeks of pain and recuperation. I lost my motivation. I just didn't care anymore. I was depressed because of all that I had gone through. I slowly watched the scale creep back up, but I felt like I was in too much pain to do anything about it. Before long, I was heavier than I had ever been.
It took a while for me to come to grips with all that had happened to me. Once I did, I slowly started to feel my motivation come back. I knew I had to begin my exercise regimen again, and it was also time for me to start counting calories again. I had so far to go if I wanted to get back on track. I kept reminding myself that it was a journey, and that this was part of it. I had a loving supportive family and I had my supplements to help me.
I started taking the supplements again, and I was confused because they didn't seem to be working. I kept taking them thinking that it might just take a bit for them to kick in, but I felt nothing. I was counting calories, I was exercising, and I wasn't losing weight. I must have started and stopped that routine so many times, until finally I just gave up.
I felt defeated. Horribly defeated.
Fast-forward a few months, someone introduced me to essential oils. I absolutely fell in love with them, and I immediately started using several of them to help me lose weight. It actually worked! Once I figured out what my body needed, I added those oils and I dropped 14 pounds fairly quickly.
Then it stopped.
I started fluctuating between a 14 pound loss and around an 11 pound loss, but I could never go lower than that.
That's when I started thinking seriously about Plexus. I was introduced by the same person who taught the essential oils class I attended. I knew they worked (they're great for much more than weight loss!), and she seemed to be having great results with Plexus in her own life. I watched her for a long time, just waiting to see how it worked for her. Finally, I decided to give it a try for myself.
I started Plexus this past Saturday (today is Thursday) and I can already see a difference in myself. My clothes are a little bit looser than they were when I started and I definitely have more energy during the day. Saturday we actually went to an amusement park for the day, and I've been pretty sore all week long because of that, but I'll be getting more into my walking routines next week again. I was told not to weigh myself again until 30 days had passed, but I already know I'm going to see a drop on the scale.
I started this blog because I wanted to share about Plexus, and I wanted my review of it to be sincere. I intend to be completely candid about everything as I use it. I can tell you that I'm using the Tri-Plex, which is the Slim (which is the drink mix) in the morning, the Bio-Cleanse and the ProBio5. I can feel it working and I'm really excited about what the future has in store for me with regard to my health and my weight loss!
