So, first of all what pulled me into even wanting to try Plexus Slim was the fact that A LOT of my friends were trying it, and had sworn success with it, but that's not all. My friends and other people on FaceBook had claimed that Plexus Slim had changed their entire lives. They claimed they had more energy, and that their illnesses were miraculously cured among many other claims that people were standing by. After I heard all of this I was definitely on board I wanted nothing more than to try this. I mean it's obvious if you know me that I have a few pounds that I could stand to shed, plus I am the type of person who is always groggy. I personally find myself taking long naps in the evening. So I thought what would a little extra energy hurt anyhow?
So, after deciding I would at least try a month of this I set out to buy Plexus Slim. The only weird thing about this is you have to buy the product from a sponsor. At first I didn't know what this meant so I did a little research. I found that a sponsor is a person (just anyone) who is paid by The Plexus Slim company to sell its products. These people can sometimes also be there for guidance or help if you feel you need a question answered. So with this said I found a local sponsor through Facebook, and with her I purchased the Plexus Slim 30 day system.
Here is my experience with it so far:
Week 1 Oct. 1-7: I have noticed a tiny bit of extra energy that I haven't had before, but it really is nothing to talk about right now. As far as weight loss goes I have gained one pound since I have started Plexus.
Week 2 Oct. 8-14: I feel the need to take less naps now. I now have my afternoon naps to probably every other day versus every day. It's a slight change, but still not life changing. On the upside, at the end of the week I have lost 6 pounds, and one inch off my waist. I also feel less hungry all the time consequently cutting out almost all junk food.
Week 3 Oct. 15-21: By the time this week was over I have noticed that I am still feeling less hungry and I am not constantly eating like I was before I started Plexus. The only thing that I am noticing that is the same prior to Plexus would have to be that I am still constantly having soda cravings. So, of course I have gave into these cravings on several occasions. Overall, by the end of the week I have gained 2.8 pounds. This made my entire weight loss amount this month a total of 3.2 pounds. Also, I am still taking a two hour nap once a day in order to feel less groggy and tired throughout the entire day. Therefore, I guess I could say my energy level has not changed at all. One other thing is that I had my blood pressure checked and it was normal, but I also found that my heart rate was a little higher than usual and I had some symptoms of dizziness. Now, I cannot 100% say that this is because of Plexus Slim, but this is about the only thing that I have changed lately.
Week 4 Oct. 22-28: Week four was my last week, and I am very disappointed to say the least. When I started Plexus Slim I seen all the transformation videos and pictures, and the people in them were claiming that they lost anywhere from 10-20 pounds in one month. This is exactly why I made the decision that losing 10-20 pounds would be worth the 100+ bucks. In the end I lost only 4 pounds. I think this proves that Plexus Slim is not a miracle worker. Now, although it may work for some people IT DOES NOT work on every single person.
UPDATE: In reply to the people who are congratulating me on losing 4 pounds, yes I agree that this is great, but I would have rathered not to spend over $100 to do so. Also, after a while of thinking, the Plexus system requires you to drink a ton of water. They push that thought into your head over and over again, drink, drink, drink water! With this being said, it is a proven fact that drinking more water alone can help you with losing weight. How do I know that I didn't lose 4 pounds simply because I drank a bunch more water than I am use to normally drinking?

Anxiously awaiting your next comment, please!
ReplyDeleteI have added a comment for week 3!! :) Sorry it took so long.
DeleteWhy do you take so many naps lol? Also did you work out with this as well?
DeleteHonestly I have no clue why I take naps so much. Maybe it's due to the fact that I hate vegetables and in turn I have some nutritional deficiencies. Also, I did work out. I have actually gotten into the habit of working out for about an hour a day with one day a week for rest. But regardless of whether I excercised or not shouldn't Plexus Slim help people lose weight anyways? I mean if people excercised frequently then why would they even need Plexus?
DeleteI lost 6 lbs in 6 days on the plexus triplex and have more energy than ever! Sometimes it takes more than a month to see results for some people! You gave up too soon! I am also sleeping better at night and have stopped drinking soda altogether! I have no need for it! Sugar cravings are pretty much null and void! Did you ever think that maybe the weight you gained was lean muscle, not fat??? I think you should give plexus another chance!
DeleteI was on it for 2 months and did not lose 1 pound! Not really sure what I was doing wrong if anything. It was pretty disappointing and an expensive waste of money
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're not doing anything wrong. I really believe that this product really does work for some people, and it doesn't work for others as well.
DeleteJust a thought... Soda is PACKED with calories... and calories determine your weight loss/gain/maintenance if you tally the total of calories you consumed from the soda you drank you can see if it is more/less than 3,500 calories IF it is more than that then technically you had 1lb there that you didn't gain from the soda calories and you may have actually counteracted more than you realize (granted though the same can be said of exercise) but at the same time how can you expect to NOT eat a balanced diet and NOT exercise and lose weight? EVERY weight loss system I have EVER considered/looked at has that as a by-line that it is recommended in addition to x & x weight loss thingy you kinda have to boost your metabolism in order to lose weight and without those 2 things any supplement won't work well with your body whether it is vitamin B6 or hydroxy cut or this Plexus thing... and no I am NOT a rep I'm just a woman who has struggled with her weight for a long time, winning the battle twice and losing it twice... so yeah... if you want more info from the purely nutrition/exercise side please feel free to contact me anytime :)
DeleteI came across your story and you know I agree with you I have tried this plexus product also and I did not have any luck with it. For many years I have had issues with always being tired and weight and some other health issues and have tried many different products and have been to many different doctors are they can't seem to find out what the issue is. But about 6 months ago I came across a product called "Monavie" this has really changed my life. and I read in your story that you hate vegetables and with this it is made with fruits and vegetables and you wouldn't even know it with the way it tastes. If you do some research on overall health of your body you need the antioxidants from the fruits and vegetables and this juice will give you that. they have several different products they have some weight loss , energy drinks and also one called rest to help you relax and get a good night sleep. but anyways I thought that I would just share this with you because I understand how frustrating things like this can be to try to find something that really does work. here is the website if you want to check it out http://www.monavie.com/en/rep/ranaelejensen.
ReplyDeleteIt's BS too...there is no magic cure. Monavie is just another MLM that makes false claims and preys on the innocent and gullible.
DeleteYou most likely have a Candida Yeast overgrowth. Have you done the spit test to see?
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with the Candida overgrowth, I wasn't loosing weight on Plexus. I did a spit test and I am full of Candida, so I started Probio5 and Biocleanse and almost immediently my sugar cravings stopped and I started to loose weight!
DeleteI have a friend who is a major Plexus pusher. She posts a new miraculous thing that it does everyday on Facebook. She seriously says that it cured her son's autism, got rid of her migraines, improved her vision, cured her allergies, cured her friend's ADD, cured somebody's diabetes I mean the list is ridiculous, but good for her she is driving a free Lexus.
ReplyDeleteWhy is her list ridiculous? Are you saying shes lying about it?
DeleteUnless Plexus can grow you some new neural pathways, it is not curing ADHD. Ridiculous claim.
DeleteGood info, thank you towards the writer. It's incomprehensive in my experience right now, however in common, the actual effectiveness as well as importance is actually mind-boggling. Many thanks once again as well as best of luck!

ReplyDeleteplexus weight loss
Hey I just came across your blog and I've found it extremely useful. My dad is really obese and my mum is so pissed off at him. I really want to help him out and I've been studying weight management programmes online to pick out a suitable one for him. He's kind of lazy so I was thinking exercise might be a bit too hard for him that's why I wanted to focus more on supplements. Well thanks your blog was of help to me and I appreciate your effort.
ReplyDeleteSo you tried Plexus for only one month and you are disappointed because you lost 4 pounds? Whats wrong with that??
ReplyDeleteEveryone is different. If you notice, the people that lose 20 and 30 pounds in a month are morbidly obese. If you put you and a morbidly obese person side by side and did ANY diet at the same time, the morbidly obese person would lose faster than you. Also, Candida can be a BIG factor of why you're not losing weight quickly. You lost 4 lbs in one month, that is awesome! I don't see what the problem with that is.
ReplyDeleteI am tired of hearing about all these miracle working pills, shakes, drinks and now Plexus. I have so many people advertising it in my facebook. This is my opinion, you want to lose weight, then change your lifestyle, eat healthier, smaller portions, exercise and you will see results, the natural way. It is all about lifestyle. Taking any of these miracle weight loss product is only going to waste your money and make your amabassador richer. You want to rid of candida, take probiotics from a health store, way cheaper and more potent. You want to cleanse your system, go on a all veggie fast for 7 days and the eat healthier meals. No need to spend $100 of dollars. Like any other system you will have to be consistent. It is cheaper and healthier to be consistent with more natural things you can get from your grocery aisles, than a bottle. 5 kids,5,5 and weigh 130 lb, never used product in my life, but probiotics and vitamins.=)
ReplyDeleteUpdate: To the people who are congratulating me on losing 4 pounds, yes I agree that this is great, but I would have rathered not to spend over $100 to do so.

ReplyDeleteYou do know they offer a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee, right? Plexus isn't for everyone, but for the people it IS FOR - they do see great to (yes, sometimes miraculous) results. These really aren't weight loss products. Most of us are pretty sick - some know it, some don't yet. It's next to impossible to go through a day without ingesting toxins, it's difficult to find natural foods/plant based nutrients needed to function optimally. Plexus is a system to help your body do exactly what it was made to do. I find it hard to believe that no one here has ever been sick, debilitated from "throwing out your back", depressed, hormonal, suffering from autoimmune symptoms, bad sleep patterns, the list goes on - being overweight is just one piece of the puzzle. We are so needing that quick fix for everything - but it's fixing NOTHING. If you are consistent & drink your water and don't feed your body horribly you will see and feel results. If you are a healthy person and/or already on a healthy diet and exercise routine - you will see and feel amazing results! If you want to be healthy with weight loss as a side effect, Plexus is the key!
ReplyDeleteSabrina you are exactly right. You probably lost because you drank a ton of water. Plexus is a joke, glad you were smart enough to figure it out before they sucked you out of hundreds of dollars and expanded the pink cult. I also hope you got your money back.
ReplyDeleteHow do you "suck someone out of hundreds of dollars" with a money back guarantee? Sounds like a disgruntled ex-ambassador... and YES! everyone who sings the praises of Plexus is likely to be an Ambassador - doesn't mean they actively sell it - anyone can become an ambassador and take advantage of the wholesale pricing.
ReplyDeletespoken by an "ambassador" ??
DeleteI have heard many testimonials about how Plexus has worked for a lot of people. I actually personally know a handful of people who have seen good results from Plexus. You can't do a weight loss system and expect to see results after one month...your body is still getting used to the new changes. However, I have also heard that just doing the slim product doesn't always help in losing weight itself...slim combined with the probio5 and the bio cleanse have shown more results..so maybe that's why your body didn't respond to the product.
ReplyDeleteI am in no way telling you that your opinion is wrong, just throwing my opinion out there. I hope you found something that worked well for you :) Good luck on your weight loss Journey (if you haven't already met your goal)
For my first month, I used Plexus Slim, BioCleanse, and ProBio5, I didn't lose a single pound, actually gained two. The next month I replaced the BioCleanse with Accelerator because it was supposed to boost weight loss, I actually gained 3 more pounds! Super disappointed with the results. I googled some things and found that others had the same problems.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am disappointed with the results of using Plexus for about 45 days now. I already do drink only water and tea, so drinking more water did not do anything, just feeling bloated. I can say, though, that my energy level is up and it seems like my concentration level is better at work. I may stop using it for a week and see if how I feel. Also, I may TRY the veggie cleanse mentioned above and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI did not loose weight or have more energy. But I did have bad anxiety an have several panic attacks daily, but plexus stopped them. I don't know what ingredient it was to do it. But I like feeling normal again.

ReplyDeleteI gained 7pounds on plexus. I was bloated and constipated. I didn't like the way I felt. I was told no refund because I was signed up as ambassador. As ambassador you have 5 days to returned UNUSED products. I have been trying to cancel"membership" and unable to log in. I email with no answer. I don't even have an ambassador number, automated system asks to enter.
ReplyDeleteThe condensed version of my pregnancy is that by the end of it, I was taking six steroids a day in an effort to increase my blood platelet count to reduce the likelihood that I would bleed out during birth. bestfatburnerforwomen.org
