Over the past 3 years of helping people get healthier and happier with Plexus – the biggest questions I get asked are When will I lose weight? and How long does it take?
I answer honestly – I have NO IDEA! That’s right – I don’t have a clue! I don’t know what your body needs most. I don’t know what your body needs to heal first. What I can tell you is that if you use the products consistently, drink your water, and we work together for troubleshooting and tweaking – IT WILL WORK! I have seen too much success and too much life change for anyone to convince me otherwise.
I also know that these are plant based supplements which means they take time – 1 month for every year of “issue”! Are you willing to go the distance to have a life you never imagined? I was! I was desperate for something to work when I started on Plexus at the suggestion of my neurologist. He had seen it work for others and I was a tough case and traditional medicine wasn’t doing diddly-squat to relieve my symptoms!
I had been sick and had health issues my entire life – starting with pneumonia at 6 weeks old and migraines at 6 years old – over 40 years of sickness! Then throw in all kinds of fun from genetic auto-immune yuck and bizarre allergy issues and life was one big blur of doctor visits!
2012 I thought I had finally gotten my health under control! Over a 10 year window through diet and exercise – I lost 100 pounds and found out triathlons were actually fun! I got a PR for an olympic distance triathlon (that’s me in my victory pose after the race) and was tweaking nutrition to be ready for my next race then BAM! I got taken completely out by my neurological issues – as in ICU taken out. The medications and treatments that saved my life also caused me to gain close to 30 pounds within a month AND they didn’t alleviate the pain or help with any of the symptoms I was having.
It was awful – 5 different doctors over 2 years and none of them had a clue on how to help me because none of them could specifically say what was wrong or what had caused the sudden implosion my body was fighting through. I was having difficulty walking, talking, swallowing, moving all with a deep daily head pain. So I really was desperate for anything to work.
My Plexus HEALTH Victories:
Month 1 – my puffiness improved and I went from a tight 16 to a comfortable 14
Month 2 – my daily pain was consistently less
Month 4 – I had my first pain free day in over 2 years
Month 9 – my BP was normal again
Month 13 – my bloodwork started to change
Month 15 – I was off all medications
Month 21 – another pants size down to a snug 12
Month 29 – hit 5 pounds of weight loss
Month 35 – only 1 number out of normal range on the blood work but my cholesterol ratio is fully normal
Month 38 – 10 pounds weight lost
Month 39 – 15 pounds down
Month 40 – TODAY I hit my triathlon weight
So yes 40 months in and I finally hit my first weight loss goal! Was it worth the wait? Absolutely! Have I reached my optimum health? I don’t think so! I don’t believe my body ever had a healthy gut so there is no way for me to know what total health looks or feels like … the journey isn’t over and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Sharing Health and Happiness is what I am all about!
