| All of these companies that sell these type products are alike. Thrive, Advocare, Plexus, Arbonnne, etc etc.. theres hundreds im sure. mlm's . I got sucked into advocare years ago. First I just liked the energy drink then got into the vitamins, shakes, cleanses yada yada.. then got into selling the stuff. Honestly it became cult like and I bailed. I do drink an energy drink by plexus and like it, alot. I made it clear I only wanted to be a retail customer... im not selling or signing up for discounts blah blah.. but I hear almost dail how if I would just sign up and sell some id get my products for free or half the price.. been there done that and hated it with advocare.. those people were seriously nuts!! |

Location: where the wind blows | cheryl makofka - 2014-09-12 11:33 AM I googled and couldn't find the ingredient list, this would be my big deterrent from trying something. These products are also not researched or had the clinical trials as medication governed by the FDA To the op if you have no energy or depression you might want to discuss with your doctor vitamin d, I know psychiatrists are starting to use this as a first line drug, I have heard some people take 2000-4000 iu and have more energy and a better mood. Vitamin d can become toxic so I would discuss with a doctor on dosage
Totally agree with vit d and energy and mood. I live in the great white north and if I don't take vit d in the fall/winter/spring I feel horrible. Zero energy and slight depression. I tend to go off it in the summer as I'm outside a lot so get a lot of sun. I can tell right away in the fall when I need it again and within 3-4 days if taking it I feel better. I actually do od on it I take 6 pills a day and I think they are 1000 iu. My health food store where I buy it said you just pee out what you don't need. I don't feel I've ever had an issue taking that many and truthfully I'm scared yo decrease as I don't want to feel how I feel when I don't take it and need it. But yes very firm believer in vit d for energy and moods. Especially winter in colder climates. |

Lots of tips, recipes, support, etc. Message me for more info. HURRY...it starts Monday the 15th!!  Does this challenge include a food Nazi to follow me around and slap all the bad food out of my hand before I eat them & an exercise Nazi to kick me out of bed at 5am to work out? If so the I am in. I have decided that I am an extremely pitiful self motivator.  Sure, I would be more than happy to...if thats what you want! Seriously, it is a fun way to get some good habits going, a little money motivation and team group support. JOIN US!!I don't know, I'm kinda scared. Ooh that's exciting. Send me the details.

Location: South Central Florida | I'm afraid to try any of them because of the "it's cheaper if you become a dealer, blah blah blah". I honestly liked Monovie. I liked the taste and the benefits. I thought it was kind of expensive, but I just wanted to be a customer...OH NO, it was like pulling teeth. Every single time I wanted to buy more, I had to get sucked into a speech and lecture on how much I could save. . .
I don't ever try any of those because of that. I would still buy Monovie but hated going through what I had to. Wish they could just sell some of the stuff in a store, or like Avon... just sell it when I have the money...not every month, not to resell, not all the garbage.

I have been checking out Thrive. You can go on and order as a customer, or sign up. I like that I can do it online and dont hav to talk with anyone to do it. It does save you 30.00 if you sign up, but until I decide if I like it, I will just order as a customer. |

Location: Bandera, TX | I recently started taking this Protein Shake as a meal replacement. So far I like it. It's on the pricey side, but they seem to have some good explanations as of why.... The whey protein comes form happy grass fed cows in Australia... Also, you can't sign up to sell it even if you wanted to.

| I am on day of 4 of Thrive... I am very active. I work out probably 5 days a week.
I eat healthy, I ride 4-5 horses a day except during harvest. Then it's only 2 before we get to the field..
I take my vitamins.. Working 18 hour days gets tiring.
so I decided to try it.
I can't believe the results I've gotten.
I plan to buy. Don't have any interest in selling..
I felt great day one and two.
The third day was the deciding factor. I only got 4-5 hours of sleep, the next day.. I was fine. Normally it takes several, several cups of coffee before I feel like conquering the world lol.
I don't know if the results will continue to be this desirable but there's only one way to find out :)

Location: In Husker Land | I tried Advocare Spark to try to help me get going during the day..I am a very low blood pressure person..like 100/60. Spark raised my blood pressure lots..I couldn't figure out why my blood pressure was high when I went to the doc one day and they asked me if I had changed anything..well I had..Spark. Stopped drinking it, blood pressure back to normal. |
