Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse review...

So I am done with my cleanse!

I lost between 8 and 9 lbs (scale said 8 this morning but I was weighing in at a different time than last time).

I lost about 11 inches overall.

To be honest the process really sucked.

The cleanse days I felt like shit. Saturday and Sunday were my last two cleanse days and I feel bad today even though I'm done with the program and ate breakfast already. I feel weak, shaky and have stomach troubles.

I will say that days 3 through 7 weren't that bad with the shakes and one normal meal. In fact, I was probably around my WW daily points those days as the shakes were 6 points each.

I did this cleanse as more of a quick fix before my trip. I achieved what I wanted because my dress fits me now. Most my other close are loser now too!

I started the cleanse at 178.6 and this morning my scale said 170.6. So being that most of what I lost was in my torso I'd say it's safe to say I went down about a size.

I am hoping to keep this weight off but have to be good on my vacation. I don't want to gain it back after that hellish 11 days (including pre-cleanse days) so that motivates me.

Would I recommend this to a friend? Not really. It wasn't fun at all. Then again, it wasn't the worst thing in the world.

If you know me, you know these fad-type cleanse/diets aren't my thing at all. I felt like I needed to do something drastic though.

In the end it shocked me how strict I was and how well I stuck to this cleanse. It made me realize I have it in me to stay on program and stay within points for WW. This cleanse also made me really evaluate my hunger signals. When I thought I was hungry before I was wrong! I think it will help me in the future.

Off to NYC on Thursday! :D

p.s. Learned the new Pro Points system on Saturday. I start today! I'll report on it later!

Just stopping by to check in...

Lately I've felt meh about my blog. I get minimal response to it (love all the people who do respond!) so it's not much of a motivator in that sense.

I missed my weigh-in today because I'm in Orlando. John and I came here Wednesday night to spend a long weekend for the Thanksgiving holiday.

His mom. step-dad and grandpa came for dinner Thursday. It was a nice time.

At night I watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince since I finally finished the book last week!

Just started Deathly Hollows tonight!

Anyway, I weighed this morning (brought my scale) and I appear to be the same or possibly down a half pound. Hard to tell since I'm not weighing in at my apartment (does that matter I wonder if it's the same scale?).

I started the cleanse I'm trying out. Today is day 1 of the intense cleanse part. It's going okay. I'm not going to tell you what the cleanse is until I finish it. Tomorrow is another hard day and then Monday through Friday is easier and I finish off with two more serious cleanse days.

I normally hate upon such things but I trusted my acupuncturist and went with it.

I'm going to WW next Saturday to learn the new program and hope this will kick start me in a good way for the new WW program.

Off I go...

p.s. Family is eating pizza in the other room. FML!
