Strip the Fatsanity

It’s taken me a few hours to get through this post.

I had no idea what I’d done until I decided to bite the bullet and get on the scale for the first time in about two weeks.

Then I cried.

Not in the usual way that getting on a scale makes a girl cry.

But in a good way.

And I’ve been wanting to share my success with you ever since. Yet, every time I tried, I’d start crying again. Because I know that, deep down, I owed it all to my best friend and her unwavering faith in a company that I’d never heard of.

It’s funny how best friends know what’s good for each other.

She knew I hated direct sales. Yet, knowing that the strips worked for her and her family, she introduced enlyten to me.

She knew I’d put up a fight. And she knew I’d judge her.

But she also knew that, eventually, I’d listen to her and try enlyten for myself.

Enlyten has changed my life. It’s changed the way my sons interact with me. And it’s changed the way my husband looks and feels about me.

So, here’s the background. I never shared it publicly, which is why you won’t find anything written about it in my archives.

In early June, I made what I and my co-workers thought to be an “informal” promise.

Someone at my office had commented about my look and appearance, stating, “You look good. Have you lost weight recently?”

At the time, I had lost maybe 3-4 pounds. I had just begun researching the enlyten strips and had been testing the appetite suppressant and calorie burners.

My reply was, “Yes! I think I’ve lost about 5 pounds. My goal is to lose 25 by the time I go see David Cook at the [California State] Fair.”

And, we all had a good laugh about it. No one, not even me, thought I could do it.

But, just for shits and giggles, I decided to write the goal down, and put it in my top desk drawer at work. I remember how I felt when I made the commitment.

I didn’t tell anyone. Not even my husband. Or you.

I just kept it to myself. Because I knew that if I didn’t reach the goal, I’d be embarrassed. Again. One more failure to throw on the pile of other failed promises to myself and my family.

Well, I learned this morning that I’ve got NOTHING to be embarrassed about.

I’ve lost 20 pounds.

I’ve only got 5 more to go by this Friday, August 21st.

And, I owe it ALL to enlyten. (And my BFF!)

In fact, without the strips, TrimWorks meal replacement shakes, and enlyten cleanse, I’d probably weigh more than what I did when I started.

When I began my journey at the end of May, I weighed 293 pounds.

Today, I weigh 273. And this Friday, I’ll weigh 268.

My old clothes fit much better now. In fact, they’re all a bit loose.

My confidence is 1,000 times higher than it was before summer began.

And I can honestly say that I can keep up with my 2- and 6-year-old sons without getting winded.

When I first started, I could barely get through giving them a bath.

Now, I dread the end of bath time, play time, or any time I can’t spend entertaining my boys.

They snuggle up to me more. They give me more hugs. And they now want ME to put them to bed instead of their dad.

Because I’ve been spending more fun time with them.

I’ve now got the energy it takes to outrun two kids. I’ve got the skin of a 26-year-old. The heart of a 21-year-old. And the sleep pattern of an athlete.

And I’m unstoppable.

Next year, I’ll be able to shop at any store in the mall.

Not only because I’ll have lost enough weight to confidently walk into H & M, Ann Taylor, or even Surf ‘n’ Skate and buy anything off the rack.

But because I’ve made it my goal to make enough money with my enlyten business to afford whatever I want. Wherever I want. At whatever shop I want.

Don’t ever say that I didn’t give you the chance to do the same.

All of the information you’ll ever need to change your own life and make your own fortune is contained in the sidebar of this blog.

The choice is yours.

Will you be in the same house, driving the same car, living the same life next year as you are this year?

Or are you going to do something about it?

[Note: If you purchase enlyten TrimWorks Shakes between now and August 14, I will personally send you two cassettes each of the Appetite Suppressant and Calorie Burner strips, ensuring maximization of your weight loss plan. ORDER NOW]

I keep reading through my notes. Reviewing the presentation. Rewinding the audio.

But no matter how many times I re-check, the information is always the same: enlyten TrimWorks Meal Replacement Shakes are indeed poised to be the most dynamic and effective weight loss system on the market.

So, forget everything you’ve read, seen, or heard about weight loss shakes.

And open your mind.

Not Just “Junk in a Can”

TrimWorks founder Richard Enloe had a list of requirements that needed to be met before he considered distribution of his meal replacement shakes.

First, they had to deliver a high dose of protein, contain a moderate level of fat, and had to be low on carbs and sugar. They also had to be a true, premium meal replacement rather than what he considered “junk in a can.”

Why?

Because he was concerned for diabetics.

Diabetics are encouraged to stay away from products like Slim Fast, since they contain such high amounts of sugar.

Which brings us to his second biggest requirement: the shakes had to be diabetic-friendly.

enlyten TrimWorks Shakes Contain NO REFINED SUGAR

They are completely safe for diabetics to consume. In fact, Dr. Steven Coupens, a type-2 diabetic and member of enlyten’s Medical Advisory Board, tested the shakes himself and never, ever saw a spike in his blood sugar level.

High Bioavailability of All Components

Another requirement was that the body had to absorb a significant — if not the entire — amount of all components and nutrients of the shake. enlyten’s TrimWorks shakes deliver 95- to 100% of 19- to 20 grams of protein and mix of all natural vitamins & minerals, which make it superior to every other meal replacement and protein shake on the market.

This is, without a doubt, the shake you want to grab after having your daily workout.

True Meal Real Replacement At a Low Cost

When was the last time you grabbed a bite for lunch that was a) less than $5.50, b) nutritious and healthy, and c) filled you up without making you feel bloated?

Mr. Enloe wanted to be sure that his shakes were truly robust enough to be considered an alternative to an actual meal, which meant that the meal replacement shake needed to deliver 4 to 5 hours of feeling full without the consumer feeling bloated. And, at a cost as low as $5.50 per meal, the shakes are budget-friendly.

Considering that consumers are also faced with busy schedules and no time to grab a healthy meal, Mr. Enloe required TrimWorks to taste just like an ice cream shake after being blended in a blender with ice for only 60 seconds. (Some of the attendees at the enlyten Product Launch maintain that the shakes are delicious even after just being “shaken” in a shaker, and thought that a blender wouldn’t always be necessary.) He also made sure that consistency and texture remain an issue and required that the TrimWorks Shakes not be to watery of “gummy.”

No Embarrassing Side Effects

Two more of the requirements were that the shakes could not create the “gas” typically associated with protein shakes, nor could they have just the smallest hint of a chalky aftertaste. Mr. Enloe also ensured that the consumer experience an increase of energy that is sustained throughout the 4-5 hour cycle of feeling full.

So, to recap: the enlyten TrimWorks Meal Replacement Shakes deliver high-quality ingredients, are diabetic-friendly, contain no refined sugar, deliver 95- to 100% of 19-20 grams of protein and nutrients, keep you full and energized for 4-5 hours at a cost as low as $5.50 per shake, can be made in less than 60 seconds without tasting watery or gummy, and do not produce any embarrassing side effects.

But that’s not all.

Your weight loss plan can be thoroughly MAXIMIZED by pairing the TrimWorks Shakes with the TrimWorks QuickCleanse ($25 for a one-month supply) or when purchasing the entire Weight Loss System, which includes enlyten Appetite Suppressant and Calorie Burner Strips, the TrimWorks Cleanse, and an enlyten shaker bottle.

As a bonus to my readers, I am personally giving away two cassettes each of the Appetite Suppressant and Calorie Burner Strips to anyone who purchases the enlyten TrimWorks Shakes. I am THAT confident that this system will work for you. I receive my shipment next week, and cannot WAIT to share my results!

I don’t really need more help — it’s me who’s standing in my own way.

I spent all weekend at a church festival: drinking, eating, drinking, eating . . . chatting with old friends and drinking and eating some more.

I kept the scale and tape measure in the garage, and won’t be using them for at least a week or two. I don’t think I gained that much weight (if any), and my clothes don’t feel any tighter. But, I’m disappointed in myself and am ready to re-commit.

There’s a big hurdle coming up this week: Saturday, August 8th, would have been my sister’s 55th birthday. My family has decided to have a party in her honor, which will most certainly lead to overindulging in authentic Mexican food and pitchers of strawberry margaritas. (Hey, if you’re gonna be a bear, be a grizzly, right?!)

Getting through the week will be difficult for me, and I usually turn to food when I’m facing adversity. We’ll see how that plays out.

In the mean time, hold on to your pants. Literally. Because after you learn about (then use) enlyten’s new Weight Management System, your pants will be so loose you’ll need some Mork & Mindy suspenders to hold them up.

The enlyten Product Launch was a phenomenal success. I was unable to attend, but I was straddling Twitter and Facebook to get the updates from our teammates who were there as two new products were unveiled.

First, there is the “Fix Recovery Strips.” Also known as the HANGOVER STRIPS. I now get to write off visits to college dorms, parties, and bars as business trips. There will be more information to come on these, so hang tight. In the mean time, if you know you’ll be “overindulging,” (like I’ll be on Saturday), take two enlyten Electrolytes Plus strips before you go out, two more when you get home, and two when you wake up in the morning. That’s what I did on Saturday night after partying with the West Sac Mexicans (Holy Cross Festival — yeah!), and I woke up feeling fantastic. If you want to feel even better, take equal doses of Antioxidant strips along with the Electrolytes and your body won’t even know you went out boozing.

Now, let’s move on to what’s REALLY got the internet buzzing: enlyten’s jump into the weight loss supplement market.

I know what you’re thinking. Because it’s exactly what *I* thought as I read the messages coming across the wire Saturday night on Twitter and Facebook:

“Does the world really need more meal replacement shakes and colon cleanses?”

But, after learning more about enlyten’s new Weight Management System, I couldn’t be more excited about trying it out for myself. When I say that “more help is on the way,” I’m not kidding. This stuff is poised to be the most dynamic and effective weight loss system on the market.

Weight loss in a box!

Enlyten’s TrimWorks Meal Replacement Shakes cost just $5.37 per shake. (Sold in packs of 28.) What makes these shakes so remarkably different from “junk in a can” is this: when consuming your enlyten TrimWorks shake, your body receives 95%+ absorption of 19-20 grams of protein. NO OTHER MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKE ON THE MARKET CAN MAKE THAT PROMISE.

Do you have any idea what that means?

It means that the only only other way to get that much protein packed in such a small package is THROUGH AN I.V. DRIP.

This is a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH for diabetics, overweight adults and children, and those who are looking for a fast & healthy breakfast alike.

AND, that’s just the TrimWorks shakes!

Enlyten ALSO released an entire Weight Loss Management System, which includes a CLEANSE!

Paired with a healthy diet and moderate exercise, enlyten’s Weight Loss Management System can be customized for size and flavor. For as little as $9 per day, you can achieve the weight loss you’ve always desired.

I’ll be learning more about enlyten’s Weight Loss Management System tomorrow night, and will post everything I learn as soon as I can get my notes together.

To get your 28-day supply of enlyten’s new TrimWorks Meal Replacement Shakes, you can place your order here.

Testimonials are the best way to get anyone to try something new.

I’ve already told you about how great I look and feel since discovering and using enlyten™ strips.

I’m a distributor, though. You don’t care about what it does for me. But what about those to whom I’ve given samples?

With the enlyten Las Vegas Product Launch (featuring SHAQ!) just a couple of days away, I wanted to be sure that those who heard about enlyten could see for themselves that people just like them are discovering the benefits of enlyten strips.

Here are just a few examples:

I took two enlyten energy strips and had so much energy I did 45 min on the treadmill instead of the usual 30. That’s 30 min running plus 15 walking. I feel so good and am eating a yummy salad now!

Also, I think the appetite suppressant and calorie burner deliver energy because I cleaned my house after the first time taking them and I felt energetic after the second time too. I didn’t even need the energy strip today.

Hey … The two antioxidant strips you gave me yesterday did something. A few somethings; I guess. First, about an hour after ingestion, the back pain I had seemed to dissipate a little and I was walking around easier. It was like WOW! Did the strips do that? I honestly say that because Aleve and Tylenol have no effect. And then I woke up this morning wanting more! Secondly, the skin on my face looked different too. Just like you said. Firmer, brighter and healthy looking. Better than OLAY could do. And check this out, there are normally a couple of gray hair (sprouts) sticking out of the middle of the top of my head. And guess what! They were still there, but not gray. Is that crazy or what? I just kept looking at myself and wowing at the fact it was only two strips that did this. Was it!? You said you were getting more, or ordering more this week. I’ll start with a 3 month supply if you don’t mind. THANK YOU!

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the electrolyte strips actually stopped (I mean STOPPED, in like, 3 minutes) my muscle cramping during my run this morning. I never really intended to try the strips. You gave them to me and I just took them to be nice and put them in my warm-up jacket. Then when my muscle started to cramp, I remembered they were in my pocket and I took two of the strips out and thought I’ve got nothing to lose just trying this, so I did. I’m still in disbelief. I’m buying cassettes from you now and will also put myself on autoship since I’ve got a 10K run coming up. Can you also give me some samples to give to my running coach?

You weren’t kidding when you said that the melatonin strips would help me sleep! I only took one, sat in my easy chair for about 15 minutes, and was nodding off before I knew it. My restless legs didn’t even bother me. I was totally relaxed too. I had to laugh because I remembered what you said about how you would lay in bed and think about the day and have fake conversations in your head and get mad because it kept you up late. I used to do that too! I’d lay in bed and get mad about things or make lists in my head and then all of the sudden it’s like 2am. Not anymore. One of these strips and I’m partying with Mr. Sandman.

Those enlyten testimonials were all cut and pasted from REAL emails or FaceBook comments I got from those who have received free strips from me.

There are more testimonials on the enlyten website too. One of my favorites, though, was posted on Youtube. It’s a two-time cancer survivor speaking about how the enlyten electrolyte strips would have helped him through chemo. (Watch it below.)

If none of these convince you to buy (or, at least TRY) enlyten strips, then you don’t have a pulse! Your can order your strips here, or contact me with some information about yourself (why do you want to try the enlyten strips, are you an athlete, do your kids play sports, etc.), and I will send you a sample.

Here come the excuses.

I’ve been busy. I’ve been writing. I’ve been devoting more time to reading and being a good parent to my boys. (I’ve been making SIGNIFICANT changes to my blog theme and header — what do you think? I’m not quite finished, but I’m close!)

Anyway, all of the above makes me want to sleep in a little longer in the morning. Thus, I’ve been skipping out on my morning exercise routine.

However, I’ve still not gained any weight. In fact, I’ve remained the same weight even though I’ve been eating quite poorly for the past 10 days.

Even crazier is the fact that my clothes continue to fit better and better. Things are moving around, I suppose, and I’m still headed into the right direction. I just need to get off my ass and start working out again in the morning. Nothing beats knowing that you’ve pounded out your workout at 4:00am and don’t need to worry about it again for the rest of the day. And I always feel like a rock star when I’ve reached the end of my “30 Day Shred” DVD. (Note: Even my six-year-old son is beginning to learn the importance of exercise. He loaded my DVD today all by himself, and did not stop moving until Jillian said it was okay. Seriously. I wish he’d listen to me the way he listened to her.)

In the mean time, I’ve still been taking my enlyten™ strips like clockwork, and I know that they are the difference between how I used to feel and how I feel now. I still enjoy increased energy, reduced appetite, restful sleep, and an immune system boost. And, as an enlyten™ distributor, I’ve been spending a lot of time trying to figure out whether or not to go to the enlyten Product Launch in Las Vegas on July 31. You know, the one that Shaq keeps Facebooking about . . . I decided that I wouldn’t go this time around, but have already begun to set aside money every week so that I can attend next year. I’d like to go to at least one.

As far as that lofty goal I set for myself earlier this month — I’m going to do my best to reach it. I want to look HOT for my birthday!

So, it’s back on the wagon come Monday. Next week, I’ll post weight and measurements.
