About Us

Welcome to "Fight the Tummy"!  We are Rick & Nicole Darcy, who started out as fat, late 30's parents of toddlers and teenagers (5 boys!)  We were beginning to feel aches and pains, Rick was suffering with asthma and three herniated disks in his back, Nicole with anxiety disorder.  It was pretty difficult to keep up with a one, two and three year old, and the prospect of climbing the snow hill for sledding in years to come was looking slim.  And that was the only thing looking slim!  According to the BMI chart, we both were 49lbs overweight.  And that is on the heavier end.  Rick is a fantastic cook and felt that he deserved to enjoy what he cooked.  Nicole gave birth to five children, and well, deserved it, too.  What did our future look like?  We both lost our mothers who were both in their 50's when they passed.  We want to not only be around for our children, but be able to take them to the park without stopping for breaks every 50 feet.  

We watched on Facebook, friends who had weight loss with different things, some ran marathons, some had changed their diets to all-natural, no GMO's.  We also had friends who had passed or were struggling with various complications.  We knew it was time for a life change.

We started paying attention to ads for supplements and wraps.  We didn't know what we should try, but we knew we had to try something.  We wanted the easiest way possible, so we tried some wraps with no success at all.  Then we started hearing about Plexus.  It sounded good, it's a drink, not a meal replacement (we can eat!)  It's all-natural (won't effect our meds!)  It has many other health benefits in addition to weight loss (good, we're getting old!)  We can get wholesale pricing (woohoo!)   We signed up to get wholesale pricing, but after trying the wraps, we were especially skeptical.  Rick was weary, this was a way for someone else to get rich quick off of us sinking money into something that won't work.  Besides, he loves to cook, he loves the flavor, and we loved to eat.  We estimated that we were each eating between 3,000 and 5,000 calories a day.  

We started Plexus the day it arrived, March 4th, 2013, and we went all in.  One Plexus Slim and two Accelerator pills twenty minutes before breakfast, and we started researching "healthy" foods.  We started substituting brown rice for white rice, ground turkey for ground beef.  Within the first few days we felt more energized, and our appetites (which had been ravenous) had decreased.  Our weigh in after 7 days?  Nicole lost five pounds and Rick had lost TEN!  Week two?  Nicole nine pounds and Rick 15, already down over four inches off his waist.  We were posting our progress on Facebook and friends were amazed, especially after watching our waistbands GROW for so long.  Finally, we realized that it was working, and we needed to promote Plexus!  What was the appeal?  We are not selling, we are sharing.  Sharing our story, sharing the opportunity to make a life change.  

We are currently mid-story.  After seven weeks we are 46 lbs lighter, and in need of new wardrobes.    Rick is four pounds away from his original goal, but now, seeing that it's actually working, we have set new goals.  We are earning our products for free by sharing something we believe in.  We are changing our lives for our babies.
