My Start On ACE!!

I'm just starting this to chronicle my little life journey that I have recently started to hopefully help myself and others see if and how the A.C.E. (appetite, control and energy) supplements work.

I started on ACE 11 days ago on April 17, 2012.  my weight that morning was, a disgusting, 280lbs!!  how I ever let myself gain that much weight is un-real!!

So this afternoon (April 28, 2012) when I got up, for my night shift I stood on the scale and I'm actually down 3lbs!! It may only be 3lbs but at least I'm not moving in the other direction anymore.  The one thing that I did notice was yesterday, at the beginning of my shift, one of the girls I work with asked me how much weight I had lost, well I had only lost about 1.5lbs at that time and she almost didn't believe me.  Now I didn't measure myself but I did take photos and I may post them later!!!

ACE has been making me very thirsty, especially when I work day shift!!  I haven't really noticed a difference in my appetite, or if I'm feeling more full with meals.  I have noticed an increase in my energy, more in the way like I feel more like continuing an activity rather then wanting to stop half way through.  For example last weekend, after starting on ACE, my husband, kids and I, oh and the dog, can't forget the dog, walked to the marina and back in our town and I felt amazing, haven't felt that good in a long time.  To think doing that walk a couple weeks earlier I was basically dragging my butt not even half way there!!  The energy I have also help with motivation when trying to do more and more activities around the house and so on!! 

I never really was a fan of water before I started on ACE but I have been able to cut out all pop and a lot of juice just due to being thirsty!!  And before I started taking ACE looking at the information and directions the amount that you need to drink was a little daunting but 1 bottle of water is really only 16oz and then 8 more cups a day is 4 bottles of water 2.5 liters of water a day.  Possibly a little excessive but I'm at 1.5 to 2 litres per day, and occasionally I have been getting the 2.5 per day!!

Well I will try to update as I can, but with 2 toddlers at home only God knows when I'll update again!!!
