spOtted: I've Got an A.C.E. in the Hole.

One of my resolutions this year was to lose weight. At the salon I work at, a lot of the girls are on a diet pill called A.C.E. I have heard tons &tons of diet pills claim to be the best out there; all the ad's seem to be the same-- "blocks carbs" "tons of energy" "drop 10 pounds in 2 days" etc. Random things like that. Always to good to be true. I never had anyone say to me, "I'm on HoodiaP57, and it really works!"

So to me, I was a T O T A L skeptic. But then, I looked at real pictures. Of people I knew. &'listened to their stories. My boss? 40 pounds lighter. Her husband? 25. What about another girl at the salon? Almost 50 pounds, &'she recently had a baby. So of course, my curiosity got the better of me. I started asking about it, gathering more information. "What's in it? Is it safe? What are the side effects?" I got the same answer from every girl I asked. Everyone's information matched up. I still had my doubts. So I got a sample, &'took a risk.

Now, I won't lie to you-- I was a bit disappointed. Everyone had told me it would give me energy, but I was EXHAUSTED. I decided to shake it off-- eh, another lie. Whatever. When I told the girls how it had effected me, they were all flabbergasted. They said it was so weird that it made me tired; none of them had that feeling.  After a bit more delving into my issue, we chalked it up to my ADHD. [often energizing drinks/pills/etc. have the reverse effect on people with ADHD] I was sad, but there really is nothing I could do. I discussed it with my boss, &'she pointed out that I had been sick-- maybe it was just an off day for me.

After a few days of being disgruntled about it, I decided to give it another try. I purchased a bottle, with the thought in mind that maybe my body just needed to get used to it. If it still didn't work, at least I had people I could give my remaining bottle too. I took my pill, and without realizing I had cleaned a huge part of the salon &'done a ton of organizing. When Kaleb came to pick me up, I was feeling really hyper. DING DING DING! Hello, there was my energy! So the next day, I woke up &'took my A.C.E. I was pretty mellow for a while- I even took a cat nap. When I woke up from my nap, I took another pill, &'then I had the whole house clean. Christmas decorations, down. Cupboards, organized. Furniture, rearranged. HOLY CRUMBS, IT'S WORKING!

It is working so far for me, &'I love it. I'm excited to see if I start losing weight. I know I have to watch how I eat, &'definitely drink more water, &'start exercising as well-- it won't just make me drop weight. &'that's okay with me. I plan on posting about my weight loss journey &'being honest through it all. Right now, I weigh 168. That's right. That is so NOT okay with me. But it's okay-- cause I'm on my way to losing weight the right way.

If anyone reading this is curious, here is the link for the A.C.E. website ---->Love My Ace Also, don't be afraid to comment &'ask or give advice to help me! I would L O V E it.

I hope 2012 is going amazing for everyone!
