My name is Ashley Wheat and this is my Thrive experience! I started Thrive about 9 weeks ago and have not looked back! I have been dealing with joint aches and discomforts and a lack of energy that has kept me from being the best mom and wife I could be. I also let the daily stresses of life take a toll on me emotionally as well and was not loving my role as a stay at home mom to my 2 beautiful kiddos like I should have been! For most people this is a privilege, but I struggled with it because of how I was feeling mentally and physically. It is very hard to not be able to hold your baby with out being in a lot of discomfort or run around with your 4 year old because you just dont have the strength and energy! I was so frustrated that I would need a nap or at least to rest and yet the kiddos could just keep going and going circles around me. I feared doing fun stuff at times with my family and friends because I knew how much it was going to wear me out physically. My husband and I had to have a backup plan in case I started feeling too badly to take care of my kids-that is no way to live! I tried to mask this as best as I could, but those close to me knew it and could see it. I was not being a great wife to my husband, and he was always having to pick up my slack with the kids or around the house. I hated feeling like this all the time, but it just didnt seem like anything was going to change my situation. I am strong Christian, and I knew the Lord wouldnt give me more than I could handle, but many days I just cried and doubted Him when I shouldnt have! Then after going through this for quite some time, I learned about Thrive through my college roommate, Erica Stover. She had been experiencing a somewhat similar situation as I had and reached out to me to encourage me to try it. I was still hesitant, but then learned of another friend who was having success on it and decided to try a 2 day sample. I dont have great Day 1 and Day 2 stories because I really didnt notice a difference. I still wanted to keep trying but wasnt totally committed to buying a 4 week supply, so I bought a week of samples from her. After those next 7 days, I was feeling pretty good, but STILL kind of skeptical, haha. I was worried I felt better just because I wanted to and didnt really know if it was for me or not. It was that next week that I was NOT on Thrive that I was back to feeling bad again and I realized just how much Thrive had actually worked for me! So I bought my 4 week supply and a few weeks later signed up to be a free promoter! I am LOVING my experience on Thrive. My friends have told me I am like a new person. My kids see it as well as my family members around me! I feel like after years of living a life way below average, I am able to live it to the fullest and it is AMAZING! I am walking several miles weekly and am hoping to add more and more exercise as I work my body up to it! Before I didnt dare risk exercising because it would leave me too run down and my body hurting too bad. Now I wake up early before my kids and walk 3-4 miles most days of the week and love my walking time! My husband was VERY skeptical of Thrive. He thought that it was just a placebo affect on me. He was happy I was feeling better, but it took him a while to see that it was actually legitimate! He has sleep problems, headaches, overall lack of energy and back discomfort, and needed Thrive almost as much as I did, but was not willing to admit it right away. One morning after an awful night of sleep, I convinced him to just try it and he actually did! He has been Thriving for about 5 weeks now and has lost 20 pounds, has energy throughout the day and his back feels so much better! We now exercise several times a week together and LOVE our happier, healthier life because of Thrive. We feel empowered and have even decided to take on more ministry opportunities at our church because we no longer feel run down all the time. We have been a little slow on the promoter side of it and are now working as a unit to share Thrive with others and meet some of our financial goals! I cant wait for some of you reading this to change your life and start Thrive TODAY!!!!
