I've always been able to just "jog it off" when I'd find my jeans fitting a little too tight and over the next several years I didn't sweat it! "Hey, no big deal! I'll just start jogging and no problem...right??!!" Just like the frog in hot water, suddenly I woke up to find no matter what I'd do it just wouldn't come off. Well CRAP! Now what'll I do?
Nearly 10 years ago I lost my job in a factory. I was a very hot, busy physical job and I held at about 350lbs. It was hard but manageable. When I lost that job I also lost hope.
I was unsuccessful finding a job after that so my wife and I opened a take-out and delivery BBQ joint. Probably not my smartest move because when it comes to BBQ, I CAN cook! So over the next few years my weight exploded to about 445lbs
We ended up closing the restaurant to focus on our BBQ sauce business.
I would try to control my eating habits and exercise more but would pull a muscle or my knees would hurt so badly it was hard to walk.
It would generally take 2 to 3 weeks before I could try again only to have the same thing happen again. I haven't really over eaten in years but without exercise I would just plateau. Couldn't lose but wouldn't gain either.
Around 3 months ago 2 good friends told me about this stuff called Zija. Both of these guys are very even tempered to the point they just don't get excited about anything at all except maybe sports. But they were FIRED UP about this stuff. Both these guys have serious credibility with me as one is a physical Therapy assistant the other trains in MMA and both have spent their whole lives in incredible physical condition and they are TOTALLY into this stuff!
I could have been anything and I was gonna try it just because these guy were so into it!!
Zija is made from the Moringa tree which is the most nutritious plant on earth.
All of Zija's products are infused with Moringa, and only Zija's Moringa Oleifera has 46 antioxidants, 36 anti-inflammatories, Omegas 3,6,9, and 20 amino acids, 9 that our bodies don't produce.
So...Mmmkay I'll try it. I buy an 8 day sample which consisted of XM+, XMam caps and Miracle tea (cleansing tea)
I did NOTHING to support this because I wanted to know if it was me or the stuff.
8 days later 3lbs lost. OK not bad but 3 lbs when you weigh 200lbs is one thing but when you weigh 445 it's another. OK 8 more days ($50 per sample).
During the 2nd 8 days my knees quit hurting! No I'm not kidding TOTALLY QUIT HURTING!!! I step on the scale at 15 days to find myself 30lbs lighter!!!!!!!!!
AND I FEEEEEEL GREAT!!!
Being of limited income I had to back off of the weight loss products and just drink the XM+. I did gain some weight back but the knees still feel great and I leveled off at 18lbs lost.
About 3 weeks ago one of my friends approached me at church and told me that he and his wife and some other people had decided to invest in me and bought me a 30 day supply of the weight loss products. I was FLOORED. WOW!!!
So the adventure continues!!!
I wish I had a better report but we had a setback called a vacation! I still did the program but couldn't be really consistent with it. Mainly the exercise. I had started walking a few weeks ago and had upped my game to jogging the last quarter mile or so of each walk AND doing strength training on the opposite days.
I got home to find I had added 6 lbs. CRAP!!!
Check back for new updates!!
