HOW CAN I MAKE THAT STATEMENT???
The other day when I was walking I just starting thinking of how much I love Isagenix... the people, the products, the integrity of the company. Some people are skeptical when I tell them this and I really don't blame them. It's a good idea to be skeptical in this day and age. In these instances, I ask them to do their homework by listening to some Isagenix podcasts, reading the recent clinical trials, etc. and then to become an associate to see for themselves.
It recently dawned on me that my belief is not just my own experience with Isagenix but my 20+ years in working with many other brand-name companies. Here are some of the more recognizable ones...
I had to think back on all the products I marketed (either working directly for the company or being assigned the task at their ad agency). I became intimately aware of product benefits and shortcomings as well as the business ethics of these companies (most good, some not). The many hours, months and years I've spent with all these companies has given me keen insight into consumer product companies and this is what has helped solidify by belief that Isagenix is truly a world class company!
So if you are reading this and not sure, take my word for it and/or do the research yourself then try the products (there is a 30-day money back guarantee)!
Boy, am I glad I'm not a celebrity! Poor Lisa... I love the sub-head that says "and she's only 5-FOOT-3!" Well, I am also 5'3" but am still not down to 165 pounds! So I'm glad not to be famous. As "regular" people, we can gain weight and just wear pants with elastic wasits, roomier tops, etc. But at a certain point everyone gets to a place where they just don't feel themselves anymore and realize it's time to do something.
I got to that point in Aug. of 2008, topping out at my highest weight ever. I decided to quit sugar and sugar substitutes cold turkey. I really thought that would be the solution. Although I lost 15 pounds, I couldn't lose any more, even though not one bit of sugar passed my lips! Thank goodness I was introduced to Isagenix.
P.S. I saw something online saying that Lisa Marie said she's pregnant and that's why she is heavier around the middle.
Although I am excited about starting the Isagenix program (my products have been ordered and I should be getting them this week), I have not told everyone about it yet because, frankly I don't know that much. Dr. J. is having me bring my products in as soon as I get them so he can get me off on the right start before I begin the program.
I did tell my mom about it, she has been invested in my weight since I was in kindergarten (the chubbier of two sisters). She has been always hopeful that I would lose weight and get healthy but is of course skeptical that this will be it. She was encouraging and supportive and said something like "I hope it works," to which I replied, "it's going to work."
I am also a very skeptical person, I don't believe anything until I see it myself. For some reason though, I am feeling super positive about the Isagenix program. I guess it's a combination of the testimonials I've read, the product formulation, having Dr J. as my coach and belief that I've finally found a healthy way to lose weight.
Although I am always trying to lose weight, I wasn't necessarily looking for a new diet or program... I am pretty knowledgeable about food and nutrition and know how to lose weight but just felt I wasn't trying hard enough. Although I totally gave up sugar (including sugar substitutes) over a year ago, it hasn't been enough to sustain weight loss.
I was a size 6-8 in high school (trying to get down to a size 4) but after I got married I gained weight steadily to the point that I am 100lbs more than when I got married 21 years ago!
At my annual GYN appointment last week my doctor mentioned that a few of her patients were losing weight with Mediafast. So at the check-out desk I asked the receptionist if she knew where they sold it. She and the other receptionist told me they tried it and didn't like the taste at ALL. They mentioned that one of the nurses there was using a program that had great results and asked if I wanted to talk to her (of course I did!). Lisa explained that she liked the Isagenix Cleanse program and said I could find out more about it by calling a Dr. that lived near me.
Right when I went home I started searching for information on the Internet about Isagenix. At first I was a little disappointed to see that the product is distributed by network marketing - was this for real or was it a scam? I have a history of market research so I spent a few hours looking at all types of sites. I read some of the info on direct marketing but since my goal is losing weight and not adding another "to do" on my list, I concentrated on the weight loss reviews. I was relieved to see many, many links to stories about how Isagenix really worked to help people feel better and lose weight. came away with a very positive feeling about the company and its products.
I met with "Dr. J." (Jeffrey Beury) at his Chatham chiropractic office on Thursday, Oct. 8th. Once I told the receptionist the purpose of my visit she told me she has been using Isagenix and lost 40lbs (or thereabout). Then a woman came out who I recognized as the mother of one of my daughter's classmates. She looked great and after small talk about her daughter's new school, I found out she was using Isagenix too.
I really liked Dr. J. - he told me about the success he (and his parents and some patients) had with the Isagenix products and about the philosophy of the company. The products are rich in nutrients and minerals and the cleanse rids your body of toxins (NOT the kind of cleanse where you are in the bathroom all day). Best of all, he is going to be my coach through this journey and I am feeling so confident that I decided to chronicle my weight loss journey as I lose 100lbs over the next 12 months (yes, I am that optimistic -- if I follow the plan I know it will work)!
