For once I'm actually posting a Blog ON TIME!!! LOL
So Fab Followers I believe you ALL are familiar with my struggle to loose weight. I think I've been trying to loose weight for over a year! I've tried every program you can think of but either it wasn't working for me or I wasn't trying to work with it.
Let's Reflect...
The reason why I knew I needed to loose weight was because of how I was feeling - I was sluggish,
constantly oversleeping in the morning, I had no energy and I felt bloated all
the time. Honestly, I was uncomfortable in my own skin...and I couldn't figure
out why!! I was working with Coach Nikole and her suggestions helped jumpstart
this journey but ultimately I strongly felt that something wasn't right with my
digestive system! I knew something was wrong when I went out with a girl friend and I had a
few alcoholic beverages and the alcohol "just sat" in my stomach. My body didn't
absorb it, it just sat there. I should have had a hangover the next day
(because I had a really good time, lol) but I didn't?? so I knew something was wrong. 
Fast Forward to Now!
I just so happened to be talking to my boss Corey D. at work who was aware
of my struggle (we cool like that :) and he suggested I try Pure Proactive
(Detox Program). I knew that he was on this program but I didn't know how successful he was in loosing
weight because I see him every day. It wasn't until I saw pictures of him
before and after that made my mouth fall open...I was amazed at what he had achieved in just 21 days. His success on this program alone was
enough motivation to get me interested. He told me about the program before I
went to New Orleans but I didn't want to start the program and then mess up
once I went on vacation (N'awlins food, c'mon now who can pass that up). So I made sure I started right when I got back.
Please Understand - This program is no joke!! I said I needed structure but I really
didn't know what I was getting myself into. Was it worth it, YES. Would I do it again, YES. I'm so excited about the results!
Phase 1
For the first 3 days I ate foods that were "energy
loading" but I had to leave out carbs and sugar. When I tell you I felt
like "Pookie" off New Jack City!! It was like I was detoxing off of a
drug. I had an attitude, I was hungry and I had headaches. My new Coach Valerie
(assigned to me through proactive) told me I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Who knew I was that addicted to
carbs and sugars??? I've felt like this before on other diets I've tried but I
always caved in and never completed the program. But for some reason I was
fully committed to this program simply because I had proof that it worked.
The 4th through the 21st day I ate nothing but organic foods and
took two release pills 2 times a day, prozyme pills at lunch and dinner and I
also took zendocrine drops before each meal. The purpose of the supplements
was to "RESET" my body: The release pills helped release toxins out
of my body. The prozymes helped regulate my metabolism and break down food
particles so that my body could absorb them. Lastly, the zendocrine drops
helped support my digestive track.
The Hard Part...
I HAD to cook every meal and refrain from eating anything outside
of what I cooked. There was a specific List of foods I could eat, including
snacks. I almost DIED, Lol. I also ate at specific times of the day and that
was really hard because life happens. So I had to put alerts in my phone and it
helped me to make MYSELF a priority! It was still very
DIFFICULT and Expensive too! I lived at Trader Joes and Whole Foods on the
weekend. The creator of this program Dr. Ferro has a great quote he shares with
us, "If we fail to plan, we plan to fail". I had to be prepared at
all times when it came to my food. It took some adjustment on my part because I
HAD to make things happen "failure was not an option"! So I did it.
Oh it was definitely a struggle. I complained to my
sister/support system, I fell out on the floor when I was frustrated, cooked
when I didn't want to, got an attitude when I couldn't satisfy my cravings and
my sister had to talk me off the ledge a few times, BUT I stuck it out! 
Now don't get me wrong there were times when I cheated. No one's
perfect! But I did pay the price. It took at least 3 days
for my body to get rid of the bad food and then I started loosing weight again.
When this happened I was so disappointed in myself afterwards and it helped me
recommit back to my program. Ultimately I could have lost more weight because those cheat days set me back...Lesson Learned!
When the 21st Day came I was so ready for this program to be
OVER! I took before and after pics so I could see my true RESULTS. The number
on the scale was decreasing and my clothes were fitting loose so I was
definitely excited.
Well here's the Proof: 15 pounds lighter!
Although loosing this amount of weight so quickly may seem unorthodox. I truly feel that there were a lot of toxins in my

Wow ladybug you look amazing. I am so proud for you. As I read your blog I can sooo relate to how you have been feeling. My biggest concern is my energy level and I know that has a lot to do with my diet as well. I was working out until I recently got hurt. I wish you continued SUCCESS because you don't need LUCK!!!
