IT’S 10:30AM ON MONDAY and already I have several sugary, salty, high-calorie treats magically appearing on my desk from my colleagues. Chocolate is only ever a few steps away. Office lunches usually mean carbs and endless craving triggers. The temptations are everywhere.
Earlier this month, we setup an office weight-loss challenge. Yet I’m still being seduced by irresistible, constant cravings. There was Katie’s 40th Birthday and Sophia’s Baby Shower. Later in the day another email pings my inbox, this time it’s an update – there’s birthday cake in the breakroom. How do I resist? One small bite won’t hurt, right?
Three weeks into our ‘new plan’, and only one of us lost weight, Sarah, who was down 13 lbs, dropping from plus size into petite size and earning her a new wardrobe. I had to knowhow Sarah was doing it when I spent more time at the gym everyday? It didn’t seem fair. Was it just genetics or did she know something I didn’t?
What she told me caught me by surprise, “My mom couldn’t lose weight no matter what she tried. Then she read about a natural Fat Burner called INVIGOR8. She instantly noticed her mood improve, her cravings disappear, and her energy levels boosted.”
I was skeptical because I hadn’t heard of the brand but I did some research and I was impressed with the overwhelmingly positive reviews. In fact, 1000’s of customers raved about the company’s line of weight loss shakes before they launched this high-performing fat burner supplement. All of their products are made with natural ingredients and free from artificial, harmful stimulants, additives, preservatives, GMOs, artificial colors and all the other junk we avoid putting in our bodies.
