Plexus Slim

Hi there! I'm sure you will get different opinions, but here's mine! I bought 2 months of Plexus after trying the "7-Day trial". On the 7-Day trial I lost 4 pounds, so naturally I wanted to get the month supply. I used the Plexus along with slight diet changes and I took it religiously every day at the same time, and I GAINED 2 pounds. After my 2nd month arrived (I did the automatic thinking it was actually going to work) I started really researching it, and cannot find any valid proof that it actually works. I actually found a few blogs were people gained weight like I had using it. I wish I knew you I would give you my unopened Plexus thats sitting in my kitchen cabinet. I didn't use it because it made me crave sweets like I was pregnant!! Not even lying I would start crying because I was craving sweets and I really wanted the Plexus to work so I wouldn't eat any of them, so I got sad.

But all of that being said, I do personally know of 2 people who have lost a few pounds using Plexus. And I honestly hope it works out in your benefit. I would highly recommend using the 20oz of water per packet; as the taste to me was too strong for anything less than that, I would actually use more than 20 oz. Make sure you're drinking LOTS of water to flush out your system my Plexus rep/personal friend said that is how it actually works.

Best of Luck!

Ask yourself this....................................will I be taking this forever? Because if the answer is NO, then you'll regain weight. ALL diets have a 90% failure rate because they usually can't be sustained.
And if the quick answer is "I'll convert to a better lifestyle once I reach goal weight", then what's really stopping you from doing it now?
That's like a person saying "I'll start saving money once I pay off all my bills". If you ain't doing it now, you ain't gonna do it later.

Well that is not exactly true. If you purchased a 3 month supply under the Plexus ambassador program, you are not entitled to SQUAT after 5 days. The 60 money back guarantee does not apply. I DID not AND DO not want to distribute, I bought a 3 month supply to simply save money. My host neglected to advise. Go figure. I am stuck with this junk.

IMO, pills, powders, juices, detoxes etc etc etc, are all a waste of money. They teach you nothing about learning a sustainable lifetime change of the way you eat and how you view food. In the past, I tried so many of these types of things and not one ever worked. You need to learn to eat in a healthy way, that you can do for the rest of your life.

I should add when I said "slight" diet changes, I meant I cut out all fast food and soda, and most carbs. I have realized that is more of an entire lifestyle change and not a 'slight' change. But since I quit Plexus I also changed a few things, like using different things in substitute to fattening products. I used Plexus before I started actually using MFP, so I didn't really understand how much 'extra' I was getting by not measuring everything down to the teaspoon.

Hi there! I actually asked for a refund and was denied one. But, I was not trying to discourage anyone, simply letting them know how it worked for me, as I know people who HAVE lost weight using it and I personally was expecting the same thing to happen, and it didn't. Sometimes its better to know that it won't work than just assume it will. I actually changed my entire lifestyle while using plexus and was going to the gym daily for an hour and a half and I still gained weight. I had to go to the doctors about it, and he told me to quit using the Plexus, after I quit it, I slowly started to lose weight.

But it DOES depend on the person. Clearly in my experience it didn't work. I didn't realize that my story of using Plexus was so discouraging and offensive to others, so I apologize if it did.

Yeah, Ambassadors don't really get a Money back guarantee because most try it before they become one. I however, did the same as you. I jumped right in as an ambassador. But only to get a discount. Why did you buy a 3 month supply? I have been buying mine month to month. I had success with Plexus though. I quit drinking soda and never worked out and I ate like I normally had, which included fast food runs occasionally. I lost 30lbs in 3 months. I have since hit a plateau and havent lost anything in the past month. I have ate like a pig though. Damn holidays and all the junk around the house That's why i decided to start using Myfitnesspal. Hopefully my diet will get on track and I cant start losing again.

Sell it on Amazon! I sold the water packets on there and made almost all of my money back!

The 3 month supply was the way it was marketed from the ambassador I purchased through. Then he hooked me up with a facebook page for ambassadors. Any time any question was asked regarding diet or exercise, it was immediately deleted. When I wrote a post about physical issues from taking plexus, it was deleted; I was harassed by the host and removed from the site. Pyramid scheme, you betcha. Anyone still believing wanting to buy unopened accelerator cheap let me know.

Thanks. Sold that junk on Amazon. It is such a real pull for those that want to lose weight "the easy way". There is no easy way. Diet and Exercise. That is all. Sucks but true.

Yes, yes,yes

I am currently on my 2nd month of Plexus Slim and I have not lost 1 pound since starting. I have been working out on my lunch breaks and being more cautious of the food I eat. I drink my pink drink every day and take the accelerator. I recently added the ProBio in and haven't noticed any change. I don't know how some people claim this is changing their life, but the only thing it's changed for me is my pocketbook. I will NOT be ordering this again and I am very disappointed in my lack of results. Not sure how it's working so well for some or if it's just the "placebo effect." Regardless, I'm done with this.

I use the Plexus products. I have a lot of digestive issues that it has helped with. I haven't lost any weight but it makes me feel a lot better. I know some people it works for and some it doesn't just like everything else.

My co-worker used it and lost 33 pounds in about 6 months. she made an effort to eat healthier, but didn't exercise. her husband also lost weight on it and it helped him manage his diabetes. I ordered just the frink and am waiting on it to arrive. I'll post back in a few months any progess.

Are you taking the accelerator Robin? I've read quite a bit where it can make people retain water. Also that the accelerator is supposed to help raise your metabolism and can make you more hungry. Not sure, just some ideas. I haven't really taken the accelerator because I read so many things about it.
I stuck with it because it really has helped my digestive issues. I haven't really lost but my clothes fit better. I've read it can take some time to kick in so to speak. Tomorrow is 2 weeks for me.

How many are experiencing weight gain? I drink PS every day past month gained 4 pounds someone said it can up to 60 days to get your body working. Is it the accelerator that causes water retention because I am only on PS? :ohwell:

I am a diet cokaholic. I started plexus because I heard it stopped sugar cravings which is my main issue. I started on it about 5 days ago and realized today, even with a weekend involved, I have not even thought about a diet coke or those homemade chocolate chip cookies out there on the counter. If it can at least get me off of sugar and start me on a new eating regiment it has done it's job. I have tried other things that didn't work, however, so I understand where the rest of you are coming from. Eating right is absolutely the best, but sometimes some of us just need a little help.:):flowerforyou:

Diet coke is actually worse than actual coke, as artificial sweeteners too! Do not drink diet anything!

But i believe it would work if one tried it. But don't expect to sit on you butt and eat pizza then weigh yourself and be disappointed that your not loosing weight. Not saying that those who commented that said they lost nothing and some gained did this. Im saying there are people out there that do this and expect the weight just to fall off or magically dissolve. This is here to help speed up process. Bodies are different. Im sure if one took the accelerator and drank the pink drink and had a 1500 calorie diet, maybe less, and exercised 5 6 days a week for an hour or 2 then one may see great results. But if you choose to stop the drink and pills you could gain the weight back but if you stick with the dieting, calorie counting, and exercising one could keep the weight off.

I may need to look into supplements and powdered drinks at bodybuilding website or GNC because i have major energy issues. i wake up feeling still tired and im not depressed by all means. I have a wonderful 14 month old son and just got engaged. The only thing im unhappy with is ive never dropped the baby weight. So i just started my transformation journey a couple weeks ago. Cut my calories to 1200 a day exercise, cardio 3 times a week and strength training 2 times and 2 rest days. I dont think Plexus would be my thing to take. but i will look into the IT works body wraps for toning after i loose weight, there maybe some loose skin.

But if something works for you by all means do it but dont just do that one thing. Change for the better so you dont always have to rely on that monthly shipment. How great would it be not only to have more money in your wallet but also to be able to say, "yes blank blank helped me start my journey through weight loss, and i got to a point were i was confident in myself that i no longer needed the help and that i, myself, could do this on my own from now on."
