One week after informing a friend that I would never want to be part of any multilevel marketing plan, I signed up for one. How did this happen? It all started with a simple question: “Have you seen Lee, lately?”

I was having breakfast with my mother, sister and best friend, when said friend casually asked me if I had seen my friend Lee lately. I said no, I hadn’t seen her in a couple of months. Then the stats started flying from around the table:
“Oh my God! She’s lost like 20 pounds in just two months!”
“She has even lost inches in her hips and thighs. Those were always her problem areas.”
“She says she feels better than she has in years.”
“She has so much energy!”
“And she hasn’t even been working out.”

That was enough for me! Lose weight AND feel energetic and healthy? Sign me up! I called her as soon as I got home that night, “Lee, your name came up at breakfast. What are you doing, and how can I do it too?”

I’ve known Lee for many, many years. I’ve seen the struggle she has had with her weight and her health. She’s tried all the top diet programs and products. Some left her feeling dizzy and weak, others just made her feel bad. She had varying levels of success with these products and plans, but none was lasting. Until now.

Lee told me she had been on the Isagenix plan, and outlined the product and the plan briefly for me. I did some research on the internet, and within a couple of days, I had signed up for the plan myself.

Yesterday I started the plan. I’m starting slowly, just one shake a day plus the daily cleanse. I am keeping this online diary to track my progress. Tomorrow I will give you my beginning stats, weight, height, measurements, etc. But it ain’t pretty!

I will also periodically post kitchen-tested (my kitchen) recipes for low calorie, healthy snacks for shake days. Come back often to track my progress, get tips for your own success, and post questions or comments.

Cheers!
