16 Pounds in 14 Days

I know you are probably thinking, “Is that right? I think that’s a typo.” Well you would be wrong my friends. Every fall after elections, a close friend and co-worker and I begin our annual quest to lose weight before our convention. Last fall was no different. It usually begins with us cheering each other on “This is the year!!! We can do it!!” Pumped up and ready we agree to start the following week knowing we have about four good months to peel off the pounds.

The next week turns into the next and the next and then God forbid we begin a diet for Thanksgiving, it surely would not be worth the effort. If we wait until after Thanksgiving it would still give us three good months to shed the weight. Thanksgiving comes and goes and we have partaken of the gorge fest of traditional staples…turkey, ham, dressing, sweet potatoes and virtually every combination thereof until all leftovers are gone. You think the eating would halt, but not even then does it falter. NO!!! Not another leftover!!! Let’s get Italian or Mexican.

Ok, now it is December and we are making a few better choices loosing a couple of pounds here and there over the next couple of weeks. The outlook is good!!! With visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, I turn to my friend and say, “You know with Christmas and New Years around the corner everyone will be having get togethers and office parties. Why don’t we take a vacation from dieting? I mean we lost a couple of pounds we deserve to enjoy ourselves over the holidays.”

Well the New Year comes and goes and we are reassuring each other “It’s ok, it’s ok. We still have a good month to drop a few pounds off. We got this!!!”

I decided to start the popular “Special” challenge and my friend investigated in a mail order plan that sends you premade calorie counted meal portions.

Four weeks later I had lost seven pounds!!! Great right!? Well if you consider having cereal for breakfast and lunch for four weeks straight. I had gotten to the point of not even wanting to write my son’s name for the shear fact it has a “K” in it.

The convention comes and goes and we find ourselves right back in the same rut as before calling every place within walking distance to see what’s the daily lunch.

Then one night while stalking a friend’s facebook page, I came across a post oozing of excitement over being able to start her “Pink Drink” on Monday. Of course my curiosity being peaked, I started scanning her page on a regular basis:
Day 1 – “Pink Drink tastes great! I love it!”
Day 2 – “So much energy…loving my pink drink!!!”
Day 3 – “Cleaned my house AND went walking today!!! Thanks Pink Drink!!!”
Day 7 – “Lost 9 pounds on my Pink Drink!!!! Feel great!!!”

WOW!!! What was this “Pink Drink” and where do I sign up? Ok fingers don’t fail me now. I begin surfing the internet for places I can get this miracle drink. Wait up here’s a website!!! Wonderful, great…but have to order it…damn I want to start this NOW!!! I have to have it NOW!!!

Within the next few days, I found a local Ambassador near my house. I could not wait to tell my friend the great news. We decided that we would split a 30-day supply and try it out, but when I contacted the Ambassador she gave us a bevy of options. Besides the 30-day supply there were 3-day packs and 7-day challenge packs available. We decided to each get two 3-day supply and try it out:

Day 1 – To our amazement our appetite was already vanishing and we had more energy!
Day 2 – More of the same noting that we were full after only 1/3 or 1/2 of our plate lunch. My craving for sweets seemed to be curbed as well.
Fast forward…
Day 14 – Feeling great and loving life!!! My weight loss is 9 pounds and my friend’s weight loss is 7 pounds!!! Total combined weight loss 16 pounds in 14 days! We did not officially measure ourselves until a week after we started, but our clothes are fitting better and I have moved over two holes on my belt!!!

OH and WAIT did I tell you it’s an all-natural product? All the ingredients in the Pink Drink are derived from plants and the product is even safe for people with diabetes.

My friend and I start passing the secret along to friends and co-workers. I picked up several orders for people who wanted to try our new find. Everyone so far has had the same success…less cravings, loss of appetite and more energy!

We believe in this product so much that she and I decided to join forces and become Ambassadors. We are now known as “The Pink Drink Ladies”.
