Short and Sweet: I have lost a little weight, I am not constantly starving, and my clothes fit better. I like the extra energy I have and the taste of the drink. I do not notice some of the side effects it claims (curbing of sweet tooth), but overall I like what I see so far - and I am getting out of my maternity clothes much faster than I have in the past.
More detailed version:
Thighs: 25 and 7/8ths
Waist: 45 & 7/8ths
Hips: 46
Week 3: Measured and Weighed on Monday
Weight: 171.6
Arms: 13.25
Back: 38.25
Thighs:25.75
Waist: 45.5
Hips:46
I don't know how accurate my measurements are at this point. Sorry for that. I will upload the pictures next Monday - because I know that I am wearing jeans I could not get on before. So, I am noticing in the fit of my clothes more than by my weights and measurements. I plan on changing the time of day I am taking plexus as well. I am not good at eating breakfast (I know horrible), but I ALWAYS eat lunch. So, I am looking to change a few habits this week. I will eat breakfast every day, take Plexus before lunch and hopefully make it to the gym next week! If not I will walk with Cindy every few days to get the mail or something. Also I have not stopped having my morning cup of coffee and do not plan to. I love it. It is warm and comforting, and I have no motivation to quit. I don't drink it for energy - I drink it because I love it. That is simply all.
Next week will be week 4 on Plexus, so I may do the update on Friday, but I will measure on Monday as usual.
Have a beautiful week friends!
Okay, I love the taste of the Plexus. I have certainly noticed more energy - which with a newborn is a wonderful thing! I have NOT noticed the curb on my sweet cravings much. I still want that chocolate! Also, I am not one that ever has lost weight breastfeeding. Those women are a mystery to me. I always want to eat SO MUCH MORE when I am feeding a little one. So, to see a little curb in my appetite has been nice. I can tell I get fuller faster. But, again, not on the sweets. Not yet at least!
I have only been to the gym once in 3 weeks. :( So, you can take that into consideration. I have also not cut anything except for soft drinks out of my diet. I eat what I want, when I want. But, sadly, no more Dr. Pepper for this girl! And, I have not laid off the sweets much. I still had chocolate covered cherries from Christmas and Blue Bell in the fridge! So, please understand that I am not dieting at this point.
I had to have mis-measured the first week, because week two my measurements were larger, and I am sure that wasn't the case. So, these two weeks are probably a little more accurate. I have decided measuring by myself may not be the easiest thing!
Here we go:

I love your candid honesty! I also love that you give no apology or excuses for sticking with the little things that make you happy, like coffee. More power to ya! I am not sure your reason for skipping breakfast (time, stomach not ready to eat, etc.). I just wanted to mention that I have learned that our bodies dump toxins from the liver/kidneys while we sleep. Usually this continues until about 10:00 am. So people who wake up not feeling good in the gut are still feeling the effects. Drink a full glass of water first thing when you wake up and wait until 10 to eat.
