Are You Weight Conscious?

Most of America is not a size 2 and is somewhat weight conscious.
Especially, us girls.  Most of my adult life I have not
had problems with my weight.  However, after
moving into my middle 40's, the problem that
plagued me as a child came rushing back to take over.
Over the last few years, I have bounced from
one diet to another. Making great strides with
the product Metabolife until it was taken off the market.
When on this diet, I ate as I liked with a few exceptions:
NO CAFFEINE
NO SOFT DRINKS
NO TEA
NO COFFEE 
NO CHOCOLATE!
Yikes! you might say.  I cannot do without ....
Honestly, I had no great addictions.
Although, I love my chocolate and Dr. Pepper!
So taking a tablet before each meal, the
weight began to slip away and so did my appetite.
After a certain amount of time, I decided
to go it on my own.  That worked for a
while, then my appetite increased
and I still ate what I wanted but the
appetite depressant was gone:(
A short fling with Slim Fast began, but
due to becoming lactose intolerant, 
drinking the shakes for meals created
problems.  Therefore, old habits began
again and so did middle age.  During
this time, women often gain weight
as easily as they breathe.


ENTER ---  ADVOCARE 24 DAY CHALLENGE!

Thank you to my daughter who introduced this
product to me after she began eating healthier,
gaining more energy, and a bonus of losing weight.
DAY 1 for me was Sunday, September 20.
The first ten days is the Cleanse Phase.
Days 11-24 are to help you reach your
desired goal.  On day 3, I weighed and measured
myself and had lost 4 pounds and 3 inches!
This definitely was an encouragement to me to
keep on keeping on!
This is not the kind of cleanse where you 
drastically reduce calories or only consume
liquids. This is the beginning of a healthier
lifestyle.  You can do Phase 1 every 90 days
if desired, but you can  continue on Phase 2
as long as you wish.  What makes this so 
simple is that you can download the Advocare
app to your iphone and it will walk you through
the plan, set up reminders for you throughout 
the day of when to take a supplement, 
when to snack or eat your meal, it has
food options, recipes, portion sizes, and
you log each day when you take your
supplements, what you eat, and how
much water you drank.  
Now that I am trying to eat healthier,
I can continue to use the great products
to maintain energy, control my appetite, and
overall wellness.  Are you interested?
You can contact Amber Lounsberry Martin
on Facebook who is an Advocare
Independent Distributor and  begin your 
journey to weight management, obtain more
energy or overall healthier lifestyle.
