your right isagenix sucks and is a complete waste of money. If you like to starve yourself it is the way to go!!

Great read frost, great read. $400 for 5lbs? ouch. Just a thought on weight loss, I myself have done many experiments on it (changing weights quite a lot), and most of the problem isn't what you eat, its the lack of excersise. You can eat all the McDonalds you like as long as you jog it off =].

Owch...still I've never lost five pounds in my life...but still owch.

Good luck on Sparkpeople! I have been a member for a few months and it really is a helpful site. I have lost almost 20lbs without starving myself or spending tons of money on isagenix.

I must lose the wight now. I so love to eat. I will be eating 1 serving of what ever I chose and keep the total calories between 1300-1500 and total fat below 20g/day. I bet this works. A lean cusine tv diner with cups of green beans is very tasty. I allways over portion so learning proper portioning is my plan.

I just finished a 9 day clease from Isagenix. I lost a total of 12 lbs. So i've decided to start a second 9 day. I've cheated more than once and i know i've eaten over my calorie limit for the lunches. I've tried everything to get this weight off. I guess I am one of the lucky people to have tried it. I will give you one thing though, that cleanse drink it the most horrible thing i've ever drank.

Yea, my issue is that with Isagenix, you HAVE to use their products. That is bull. Especially when it tastes like crap.

I took the 9 day cleanse and lost 8lbs of hard to lose belly fat and an inch off my waist at 55 yrs old. I liked the shakes, I thought they were pretty good.Since I was already spending $200 a month on supplements I switched to their $145 a month total wellness plan which includes a vitamin program. I have lost additional weight, feel great,find myself eating better and it feels like i have more energy and I'm saving over $50 bucks a month from where i was. I like the stuff. Sorry to disagree with your assessment.

No problem, everyone has different experiences. Mine was just bad. Hope it stays well for you.

Hi

I actually remember reading your blog a while back, either before I started or when I first started. I appreciate your candor. Because of the MLM aspect, I think sometimes people were sound a little too high for me. I was skeptical, but somehow always believed it would work, in part becuase I wanted to, but because I trusted the person I learned about it from. She is a healthcare practioner and knows of my funny symtoms and the like. It is fun to share progress with her. Things I used to whine about are gone. Things I did not notice as problems are better. Skin, especially.

Now, for me, as a woman, it was always hard to carry it in my face. I would look at my face and be sad, for YEARS! So, I tell ya just losing it off the face, which happened very quickly (days) was amazing. I became vain and kept on looking at my face. Is there is limit. Maybe I should do a part !!

Hi again

It is me. I guess it is easy to go and on when something changes your life for the better. Okay back to my vanity.

My face. That is where I noticed it or where it meant the most to me. Then after a few weeks, (I did the 30-day) I was touching my face. Yes, the vanity thing, but it was so soft. No products or creams can do that.

I really appreciated what you wrote, because I do not believe there is any magical product for everyone. Everyone is different. It just kinda became a fun game for me and truly helped with my disposition. I started to enjoy trying on clothes from YEARs back and then a week or two later, I tried on even smaller clothes. It was not about the weight loss for me, but it happened. My original motivation was health. I was tired of feeling sick and tired.

Because I understood detox, I knew to eat light even before trying this, which is why I think they have you do a 2-day pre-clease. Detox is nasty, especially when your body is full of crap. I tried on years ago, thinking oh have ice cream and pizza, etc etc I felt like crap, sick actually. That is the crap moving through your body. I did not want to go there this time. So, there was no coffee in my system (probably the source of most people's headache when detoxing) no fried stuff, sweets, etc. So for me, my experience was relatively easy. I do not like feeling sick. I did not want to go there. Sorry, one more post coming

Hi

Yes again. More me. Last one. I promise.

Now, cause I did the 30-day, I hit shake boredom and almost went off. I later learned to play with the shake for taste. You can add stuff to the vanilla. I also learned not to work if I just did not want another shake that day and wanted food. It just ain't that serious to make yourself miserable.

But again, I enjoyed reading your because if I hadn't I really would have questioned it. You cannot go through something like this and really truly come out and say it is all sunshine and roese. That is b.s. But, compared to others things, it is easier for many. Also easy for me in the midst of trying on smaller clothes and looking at my face, to minimize things that may be have been great.

On the whole it has been relatively easy. Largely positive effects. I think it is worth the cost, cause nothing worked before and since I am not eating out as much, it works out. That was how I put the weight on, which in retrospect was probably pretty pricey.

I like that I naturaly gravitate toward the healthiest option on a menu and that is cause there is a side effect to this. You eat crappy foods, you feel like crap and quickly. Go figure.

But, 2 months have passed, I lost a total of 9 lbs and 18 inches on that 30-day (actually 6 weeks. I did not take my final measurements till then. Forgot to)

I want to stick with this a few more months. I feel that will be the real test.

I think there is no one size fits all program. Truly, if we all exercised daily and live off lean organic meats and produce and never fried foods and ate whole grains, nut and berries, none of us would be having this discussion. I admire people who do that. That is just not me. I needed a bit of help and was willing to pay for it.

Okay, I need to stop now. Take care and share what works for you, as you go through your process.

Isagenix did work for me - over 35 pounds in 90 days and I like the shakes etc.... I'm now the smallest and healthies (confirmed by doctors) I've ever been as an adult (age 41). I still have 15-20 to lose but it's been good. I live a pretty busy lifestyle so the shakes actaully work very well for aquick nutrituious meal. As someone else mentioned you can add in stuff to the vanailla or chocolate to add variety (ie. fresh fruit, a little nut butter etc..)

Sorry it didn't work out for you. I'm trying the Isagenix 9 day cleanse/diet thing also and blogging about it every day.

Frost - Did you ever try the program agaun? How did it go?

I started the 30 day program today. I feel fine - the cleanse days make me nervous though.

I mixed the Ionix Supreme in my shake - much easier way to take it.

I have to say, I am on my 14th day w/ the 30 day program. A complete disappointment. I don't feel any healthier, and have lost a wopping 5 lbs. Big deal, I can lose more then that on other cleanses, and feel better! I also, would not recomment this product to anyone at this time. We'll see when the 30 days is over for a final blog. I don't have a lot of money, and after dumping about $400 in this program, coming through even more depressed then when I went in.

I've been using Isagenix for a few months. It takes any body a minimum of 3 months to really experience the changes that have been happening on the cellular level. After only 2-4 weeks, it would be unreasonable to make a judgement of any kind. It depends upon how nutrient depleted you are, how sedentary, and how sleep deprived you are. All of these things affect the efficiency of any program. A sleep deficeit for example can keep you from losing weight due to leptin and ghrelin levels being out of whack. There are so many variables involved. I like this program because it is comprehensive and inclusive of essential minerals for nutrient absorption, amino acids for cellular healing, and high potency vitamins/antioxidants. The quality is very high and not readily reproduced by anyone other than John Anderson. So this is why it is necessary to use Isagenix products to get the results this program promises. imho
