Plexus Progress Pictures Weight Loss Motivation

Weight loss journey continues. An update on how Plexus is going. I've started out just taking the drink to see what my results would be and I've actually been pretty discouraged to not see the numbers just falling off the scale like so many other people have experienced. I have however noticed that my clothes are fitting a little looser and was even able to fit into a pair of skinny jeans in a size smaller than I have been wearing. But of course like so many others I obsess over the numbers. So I decided to take a picture to see if I can SEE any difference and to my surprise I can see a huge difference. This has definitely re-motivated me. I've been able to come down to 170 and even dropped below one day and I never go back above 172 but I was really hoping to get below 170 and stay there. I really need to work on my water intake because they recommend drinking half your body weight in ounces and I'm TERRIBLE at drinking water. I've never been a big water drinker except when I play sports and exercise, so that has been a challenge. I truly believe that if I can up my water intake I'll see more weight lost. Plexus has definitely helped me cut my cravings and eat less which has been helpful. I'm thinking about adding the accelerator pill in with the drink to give me a little boost, but I won't have that for awhile so I will update about that in a few months. Thanks for following my story, and let me know if anyone is interested in trying out Plexus. There is a 3 day decision pack that comes with an informational DVD, a 7 day trial, or you can get the 30 day pack, and just get going!!! Everything comes with a FULL 60 day money back guarantee

Hadley at 18(ish) months!

18 MONTHS

 



 Hadley Ann is 18 months.
I figured I hadn't updated about Hadley in quite some time and that it would be nice for me to be able to remember the details about her life after the first year. I won't update every month like I try and do the first 12 months but at least every 6 months would be nice for my own memories sake.
Hadley, baby you have changed and grown so much in these past 6 months.
~Weight 22lbs
~Wearing 12-18 month clothes, size 3 diapers, and size 4 shoes.
~Your vocabulary has exploded and you have really started the copy cat phase of repeating everything we say.
~ You love being a big sister and giving Brinks kisses but most of the time you just ignore her.
~ You got a puppy recently and you love teasing her until she jumps on you to play.
~ You are walking super well and will even try and run (which is adorable) and you are starting to walk up steps.
~We've intorduced the potty to you and you seem interested but we are just starting slow.
~Your hair is finally long enough to do a good pony tail and cute little pigtails.
~You LOVE being outside and even enjoy playing in the dirt....when mommy will let you.
~You love being stubborn and sometimes your "personality" makes mommy laugh even when you are being naughty. One of your favorite things to do is when I start counting becuase you are not obeying, after I say one, you always look up and say 2!!!
~You are learning your ABC's and 123's but your stubborness shines through there too....When we ask you how old you are you hold up one finger and say 2! You refuse to say 1 and you think it's pretty funny!
