A sad commentary on our current society.  No independent thought, no critcal thinking, no attempt at research.  Just follow the advice of some nobody who has been desperate enough to welcome cameras into their home to record each embarrassing moment.  I weep for future generations.

I totally agree.  People don't even bother to do any research, they just believe every bit of "news" posted on social media.  It's sickening.

I'm kind of glad I don't have too many more years to watch the US slide into a morass of stupidity.  Whilst drinking quarts of Plexus Poison.

Perhaps Janelle is bad at photographing food.  That looks as bad as what she normally prepares and posts.  

Am I the only one who checked to see if the plate was chipped?

Aaannnd the jetlag. Don't forget the Jetlag. Janelle and Maddie still whine and complain about the daylight saving time, how in the world will Janelle handle 9 hrs of time difference? 

I picture Janelle laying half on/half off her pleather chair, a partially empty Plexus cylinder clutched in her hand with most of the pink poison spreading slowly across her lap as she snores and belches sardine fumes strong enough to make the dogs run away.

This. The only time Janelle has successfully dropped weight is when she had a trainer pushing her. On her own, she has been unsuccessful. 

And yeah, people are dumb. Even though Janelle doesn’t appear to have lost weight, idiotic dolts are buying this shit. That’s like taking piano lessons from someone who can’t even identify where “C” is on the keyboard. Buying a diet/wellness drink from someone it doesn’t seem to have worked on is mind-blowingly moronic. 

Ok guys, who wants to bet that after her trip Janelle will be talking about getting her gut back to normal or getting back into a “routine”? Ironically, it looks like she’s eating more real food on her vacation than she does at home! 

 

This! 
It’s shocking to see people blindly following these people when they continue to complain about the same old shit!

Janelle will probably go on about her gut, brain fog etc when she returns home and how she needs to swill gallons of plexus to get herself back on track and meanwhile Maddie is whining about daylight savings time and how she’s a wreck that can’t sleep and has no energy…. I thought plexus was supposed to cure all these problems.

Janelle looks as fat as ever and Maddie often looks bug eyed, stressed out and her hair usually looks like straw not a great advertisement for the pink poison.

It wouldn't surprise me if she is diabetic. With their aversion to going to the dr I suspect she hasn't been tested.

I will now get spam ads from plexus because I bit the bullet and googled "plexus" just to see what the masses might see. The first ten hits from google are all websites created by Plexus of course. There is one outlier from "health line" that says "does it work?" but you have to scroll all the way down down down to read the answer which is --"maybe." And of course all the plexus ads and websites feature the wonderful before and after images with all the splashy headlines. It's non- information overload and purely meant to motivate the reader through heuristics. But alas it works. So if they happen to see it with Janelle - they might "google" - and then go back and click on Janelle's link to purchase. In their minds, that's probably "research." It's baffling for sure. But I can see why people fall for it - easily in fact.

I was thinking the same thing, she could very well be diabetic or pre-diabetic and not even know because she blames all her problems... brain fog, fatigue, bad gut, sugar cravings, no energy etc. on digestive issues.

She didn't even know she had a tumor the size of a chicken mcNugget on her lip until she read about it online!

I think they avoid doctors like the plague because they have no health insurance.

I'm sure when she had that removed they tested her for that.

This! These ignoramuses seem to forget their magic potion is “supposed” to fix all this. Terrible sales tactics (and we just had the discussion on stupid people buying stuff that doesn’t work). What works is whole foods, mostly plants, drink water, exercise. 

Tip for Maddie — Maddie could use some Olaplex treatments for her hair. It really is miraculous at rebuilding the bonds within the hair shaft. It’s great for people going through multiple lightening processes.

And I hate the seasonal time change too! We need to stop this madness. Nowadays, it makes zero sense. Technically, the days aren’t any longer — one could easily change their schedule to achieve the same result instead of forcing everyone (except Arizona) to comply.

 They used a picture with someone cut out of it. 🤦‍♀️ Allowing for the fact that she’s wearing two different tops, and the fact that the second one isn’t a full shot, this is a marketing fail.

She used to say there is no magic pill, now apparently there’s a magic powder. 🤦‍♀️

Why is she wearing a smart watch? It’s not like she is actually trying to lose weight 🙄🤪

She is probably not gaining weight because she's walking more on the Portugal tour than the distance between the recliner and the fridge at home.

It's less fat shaming than calling her out on her scams.  Fitness coach, lifestyle coach, Poison Potion Queen - all total fails despite her blathering on how wonderful they all are and charging money for them.  She's a fakety fake faker and deserves all the snark she gets.

This. I’d pick on her a lot less if she’d stop pretending she knows *anything* about wellness (besides what she googles). If she wasn’t a “celebrity”, she’d be a complete failure (how it should be when one cannot demonstrate success).

Janelle says that no one wants to gain weight on vacation...I suppose so, but if I am somewhere I've never been eating food I've never had, I don't care if I gain some weight.  Janelle's problem is that she gains weight, her digestion goes haywire, her body can't handle the time changes, and her "routine" goes out of whack and she tries to fix it with a quart of pink liquid and then tells us how Plexus just solved all her problems.

I think it's far more likely that she feels like crap, she eats crap because that's how she feels, it compounds her digestive issues, and she comfort eats because she feels so bad, lather rinse repeat - but yet, Plexus cures all of this...so based on her own words, she shouldn't ever be in that awful situation in the first place, right? 

[Madding crowd]

I have a friend who sells Isagenix and she posts about 10 times a day how it saved her marriage and how her life is so fantastic. I tried it and it made me constantly nauseated. These companies insist you constantly post and tell people every part of your life is improved by taking a bunch of chemicals. Janelle looks happy though so I give her that but I hate these companies that fool people into spending a fortune on useless and possible dangerous supplements.

Agree.  I've had digestive issues for years.  I know it's the garbage we like to call food, that I am eating.  I watch a lady on YouTube who is vegan.  But she has had digestive issues for years.  I think her doctor told her to try the low FODMAP diet to see if it would help her problems any.  She said that she has been doing it over a month now and feels better than she has in years.  My doctor told me years ago to try it, but it was so restrictive that I didn't stick with it.  I think maybe I need to try and give it a chance again.  It basically removes things that can cause gastro discomfort.  Mainly you are eating real foods.  I know I would probably feel 100% better than I have in years.

Why? Testing your glucose levels is a pretty simple, but specific test. Removing a “whatever it was”- growth is no reason to test for diabetes.

That is a decision.  Mr lookeyloo suffered from debilitating migraines years ago.  No drugs/therapies/treatments helped him and he ended up in the ER more than once.  He found a doctor who told him she believed his issues were related to food and that he had to go on a very restrictive diet at first and then add things back slowly.  It was very hard for both of us, but, we did it.  He ended up having an "intolerance" to mostly everything he loved, but, he said it was not worth eating them to feel that bad all the time.  FF another long time, and somehow his system has sort of recovered to where we don't have to read every label, cook mostly at home, and be careful in a restaurant.  But, that is not something everyone is willing to do.  I'm going bet my last nickel that Janelle wouldn't.

[ginger90]

Yup, an elimination diet. Something Janelle would interpret in a much different way. 😁 For this thought, I feel as if I’m 12 years old.

They want to know in case you have issues during the removal.  My mom had one removed on her forehead and they ran a complete blood panel on her.  Even though her family doctor was willing to forward her most recent one.

THIS. All of this, especially what’s bolded.

Meanwhile, some of us plan and prepare our meals for the week, bringing healthy snacks like fruit and nuts to work and — ohmigosh — drink WATER all day long.

That would be dependent on the venue for the removal.  Everything I had removed was in the doctor's office with local anesthesia.  No bloodwork done. 

Heck, I've had endoscopies and colonoscopies done without any preop bloodwork and those are considered invasive procedures and done under anesthesia.

I would be gobsmacked if Janelle had any workup done for the removal.

I'd say it's also an insurance matter (or paying fully yourself) Health care is incredibly expensive so if insurances were to pay, they'd keep it as low as possible and only ask for the full bloodwork if necessary. If you have a premium insurance or pay for it yourself, or have a very commercial doctor for that matter, it may be different.

First class across the pond? That costs a whopping fortune! I checked it once, for fun. A flight from London to NY (which is probably one of the busiest routes from Europe to the US with lots of competition) I could fly for $600 second class (with a decent carrier) but first class would set me back 10-12k................

My husband's company sent him to Tokyo in 2017. He is 6'4" and had a beautiful and roomy private cubical for his 13/14 hour flight in Business Class.  Cost $22,000.

I've flown first class 3X in my life, but I didn't pay for it; I was upgraded from Economy after I had been bumped or rerouted by the airline.  Once I was bumped forward since the plane had been overbooked in Economy but had extra seats in 1st Class - that may be how Janelle got there.

Could have been my mothers age.  She was in her late 70's at the time.  Janelle is much younger.

I’ve flown first class a few times over the years for various reasons and that’s one of the worst first class cubby holes I’ve ever seen, her video screen isn’t even pointing towards her, it’s sideways… she obviously doesn’t know what proper first class looks like or she wouldn’t be bragging it up 

I wouldn’t call that “First Class in Style”  🥴

 

[LilyD]

I did some sleuthing out of boredom and because I can’t sleep. This seems to be an American Airlines first class cubicle.  Also AA’s flight attendants wear different ties to show where they work/what tasks they have. Men wear red ties and a white shirt and a blue waist coat in first class. (The attendant on tv)

The position of the tv seems odd, but the cubicles are curved too. I can’t rule out a funny camera angle when she took the shot which doesn’t help. Also, her body size may be a thing. Those cubicles, though first class, are still tiny and I expect she still had to force herself in giving her little room to turn slightly to get a better tv angle. (Sorry don’t mean to be cruel but sadly, flying and morbidly obese don’t go well together…)

The Economy TVs on seatbacks tilt up and down, so side to side is probably possible on these 1st class TVs.

In 1994 or 95 late DH and I were in Lisbon and they were relaying/replacing all those cobblestone streets. We snagged one stone and set it in the patio in our yard. Moved away from  there in 2004 but pretty sure the stone is still there.
