Today I took a long look at where I have been, what works and what didn't I lost 30 lbsa year ago. I went to a place called Slimgenics, and just about the time I was at goal weight I quit going. Why? It was expensive. Sometimes 300-400 a month. I wasn't sure what I was putting in my body. So here I am a year later and back where I was. I had to ask myself, do I really care how I lose the weight if I don't damage my body? The answer was no. The other factor is I hurt my back in such a way that I could move for two days. I thought to myself, "remember how this feels" because I didn't have that issue when I weighed less. I wasn't sick, and I had more energy. A listener to the show told me about Advocare and how he had used it to drop some weight. I looked into it. It has a definite "Amway/Multilevel" feel about it, but I was curious about the products and the price. It isn't cheap, but then again a Big Mac Value Meal is $6 and the meal replacements were less than that (for preferred customers). They do have a lot of medical doctors on staff to make sure the products work and are safe New Products Same Plan So I'm going to start off the same way I did last year with a 24 day jump start to get my body ready for the nutrients and supplements I will be feeding it.
