Two tips that helped me kick-start my weight loss journey

It’s no secret. I’ve struggled with weight loss since I had my son 7 years ago. I blew up like a balloon and never seemed to drop much. The more I read the more I realize there are women everywhere just like me.

weight loss two tips jumpstart

I go on a diet every year during the spring and summer months only to add it back on in Fall and Winter. This year I’m hoping to change that!

Last year I lost a good bit and felt AMAZING! I lost nearly 10 pounds last year and made some great life changes which was sure to promise more weight loss… Then boom, we had a major change in our lives. As you’ve probably read on my website, my husband had a motorcycle wreck last year, and as a result I gained 23.4 pounds from November to February! This was the heaviest I had been in 5 years!!

I knew a change had to be made. I knew I had to get some of this weight off or it would spiral quickly out of control. No matter how hard I tried though, I just couldn’t seem to find my focus. I would do great throughout the day, but in the evening I would snack and make unhealthy choices.

I did two things to jumpstart my weight loss and in the course of 1-1/2 months I have seen positive changes. Over 12lbs lost to be exact.

Tip # 1

The first thing I did was join a diet bet. I joined Mama Laughlin’s Diet Bet with one of my best friends and I’m so glad I did!! Basically I bet $35 that I could lose 4% of my body weight in 4 weeks. I needed to lose 7.7 lbs and I ended up losing 9! I was so excited and I actually won $51.78. So I made a profit of $16.78, JUST FOR LOSING WEIGHT!

I’m sure you’re wondering how in the world I was basically paid to lose weight… The idea is simple. Several people sign up for the “game” and everyone pays their entry fee’s. If you don’t lose your weight, your entry fee is forfeited and what’s left over in the “pot” is distributed through the winners.

The diet bet is monitored by Referees who ensure a fair game. You have to submit photo’s of your weigh in process and your weigh out process to make sure no cheating is happening. I’m in another diet bet right now that has 16 days to go and I’ve only got a little over 2 lbs to go!! Learn more here: http://dbet.me/abridges

This was just what I needed to motivate me to begin eating more healthy and become more active.

Tip # 2

Now during this diet bet process I hit a plateau, as most people who are losing weight do. I knew I had to do something to get me off of this plateau to get me losing weight again. I had heard of that “pink drink” that everyone is ranting and raving about and I sought out to learn more about it!

I had a friend who sales Plexus so I talked with her more about it and decided I would get on the bandwagon and try this new drink. What did I have to lose besides weight? They have a 60 day money back guarantee so this made me more confident.

Plexus Slim is a drink you drink 30 minutes before or after a meal and it kick starts the fat burning process!

I have been known to have strong heart PVC’s, so I knew I couldn’t take anything with caffeine or anything to speed my heart up. What had me most intrigued by this product was it was ALL NATURAL. It’s even sweetened by Stevia instead of Splenda. This was a major selling point for me because I hate medication.

I considered buying preferred, besides retail, because you get a deeper discount. Preferred is where you commit (not really) to purchasing this product every month for a 10% discount. I say not really because you can cancel at any time! It’s an awesome deal!

I actually ended up signing up to sell it because the discount was even greater! and guess what? I am not required to sell! That’s awesome! I can just buy my products without ever selling a bottle of anything, and still earn the amazing discount.

But I decided to let you all know about Plexus Slim because how well it has worked for me and I’ve only been taking it for a month! My afternoon cravings are nearly gone! I have some days where they’re still strong, but for the most part I don’t have cravings. My sleep has dramatically changed. I sleep more sound than I ever have! I got to sleep and I don’t every toss and turn during the night any more.

Now to the weight loss… I lose weight even on days where I think I should be gaining! If I ate a little over my calories the day before – I still lose 1/2 – 1 lb! That amazes me!

I have heard some concern about paying for this product, what I do is save up weekly. Instead of heading out to Starbucks or getting my nails done, I save my money. I take the cost of the product and divide it up by 4 weeks and save my money for the month. Let me tell you, it is more than worth it! I am proof that this product WORKS!

I also take Bio Cleanse and ProBio5 along with the slim. This is called the “Triplex Combo” it’s truly the ultimate weight loss combination! The Bio Cleanse is great magnesium compound that helps with digestive issues, helps keep you regular, provides oxygenation to your body and keep it energized, helps with sluggishness, supports collagen production. The ProBio5 I take right before bedtime and it has probiotics in it that replenish the good bacteria in your body, also has enzymes that help kill off the BAD bacteria in your body caused by yeast overgrowth, helps with allergies, helps with sugar cravings, great for use after taking antibiotics, helps keep you healthy from all the bugs going around, helps with digestive issues.

Weight loss is not an easy feat. It takes a lot of focus, determination, and will power. Dietbet.com and Plexus Slim are my own experience and my own opinion. I have not been paid by either company to write a review or give an opinion. These opinions are solely my own in hopes to encourage and inspire others to jumpstart their weight loss journey.
