...and now the REST of the story :)

An old Paul Harvey joke. I used to love listenin to his stories...

Continued....

Anyway...so again all the tests and surgery, and while yes they did end up finding something, it wasnt the thing that was causing my issues. But thats ok, that tumor is history.

So basically, my doctor says, you are insulin resistant and should lose weight so you dont someday become diabetic and you should see the GI doctor. Yay

So I did go to the GI doctor. We discussed my symptoms, such as constant acid reflux and the constant tummy issues and bloating. Since my mother had colon cancer a couple years ago, he wanted to automatically do a colonoscopy just to be on the safe side. Plus he wanted to do an endoscopy to get a starting point on how bad my acid reflux was. Not sure if I have ever said...but I dont like drs or NEEDLES! :/

I had been hearing some people talk about some shakes that had helped them lose weight and how great they tasted but I didnt pay much mind. Until the recent drs visits. So I started looking into these shakes. I dont jump into anything lightly. But I had tried everything. Everything over the counter, pills, shakes, diets, HCG, even Adipex. Nothing helped.

I saw some peoples progress in 90 days, the before and after. They were people I knew so I knew these were real results. But it wasnt just them! Then I started finding out about the benefits of these products, especially compared to other products out there! So I decided to try them.

They claim they are "the shakes that taste like cake mix". yeah yeah Ive heard all the hype about products and how great they taste and how well they work before! But I got the shake mix in and so naturally out of curiosity I made a shake that night and OMG it IS great! It really DOES taste like cake mix! (if you mix it in milk). ***Big disclaimer-if you mix it in water (which some people do as a after workout protein shake or because they dont like milk) but it is very bland and ewwy!!!***

So I couldnt wait to start drinking them the next day. I did weigh myself and soon took pics and measurements. I was seeing results immediately. at least a lb a day, sometimes 2. And after only 2 weeks I had lost 16 lbs and a ton of inches. I was feeling great and still loving the shakes. :)

I do like food, and I like the local chinese buffet, so I did cheat alot :( so I must say my results would probably have been alot better had I not cheated and had I exercised. Other than typical farm work, I dont exercise. However, after 1 month I was down 21 lbs. I still say that is pretty good even for cheating! Still got to have my chinese fix and even my occasional coca cola.

Now the part that I am MOST excited about? At a month and a half into the challenge, I was down 26 lbs, 2 pant sizes and a TON of inches everywhere! Wearing clothes I hadnt worn in more than a year. I wasnt bloated all the time, I havent had ANY acid reflux in a month (and I literally had had it for years), I had 2, yes TWO menstrual cycles ON MY OWN! <--Altho I really didnt miss them, the dr said not having them was bad :( lol I have more energy than I have had in as long as I can remember!

I do keep saying ok Im going to get serious and not cheat or have a coke...but...well you know...I am still very pleased with the results so far! And YES I am going to continue on. I still have a long way to go, but its coming right along.

Now I have lots of people joining me on the challenge. And if you refer 3 you can get yours for free. So I get mine for free, so an even better reason to continue on the challenge! :)

Needless to say, I do not need the GI dr for most of the stuff I was going for. Altho yes the colon cancer screening is still in my future.

And YES I will be posting some before and "during" pics (cuz Im not to the "after" yet). REAL PEOPLE! REAL RESULTS!

The products are safe and very nutritious. My whole family is drinking the shakes now. My my husband drinks them to build muscle, my son drinks them to bulk up and build muscle for football season, my daughter drinks them because she doesnt eat many fruits or vegetables, my mother takes the vitamins and drinks the shakes. So they arent kidding when they say they are for Everybody and EVERY BODY!

After I saw how great they were and how well they worked, that is when I jumped on board as a Distributor because it was now something I believed in. I am currently a Director and on my way to Regional Director and getting a new BMW free! ;) woohoo You can earn one too!

So, all in all, everythings good now. Still have occasional IBS when I get nervous :/ but everything else is gone! I have a check up appt with my OB/GYN in mid july. My goal is to hopefully be down another 10-15 lbs before I go back. I want them to go WOW WHAT THE? :)

But for now, I shall continue on my journey. Might even find the old skinny girl thats been hidin in me for years.

...thats all folks! (ok for tonight anyway)  ;)
God bless
