Honestly, I was hoping it would give me a jump start since I hadn't had any major weight loss since April 2012 (the infamous foot/ankle injury)...like I said, desperate. The first shot had me sick as a dog. I think I had every side effect listed--nausea, vomiting, fever--and I did not experience any increase in my energy. Maybe it works for people who are B12 deficient or who aren't already eating right and exercising. I just know that I wasted money, gas, and time.
That experience just confirmed for me once again that gimmicks and quick fixes don't net success in and of themselves. If you do experience any loss from the quick fixes, you will most assuredly gain the weight back once you resume your "normal" behavior. So, I chucked the desperation and decided to fine tune my plan. Immediately following that fiasco I started Jamie Eason's LiveFit program.
Yes, I'm still a Beachbody coach and I love their products and the company, but they are not the only show in town (probably not good for my sales...). I also chose the LiveFit program because it's absolutely free and focused more on weight lifting. I love running but I also realize that I have a high percentage of lean muscle, so I need to use that to my advantage. And no, I'm not doing the program for weight loss, per se. I'm doing it to increase my lean muscle mass and decrease my percentage of body fat.
Here's the truth I had to face: I may never look like Laila Ali but while there is still breath in my body I will keep pushing to have the best physique that I can. It may take time but I'm willing to put in the work. No more magic pills.
