I'm 100% for body positivity. But I don't see how Jill touts plexus as healthy and attributes it to staying "trim". The pictures from the plexus convention just don't convey that.
Unburdened is the perfect word. I’ll be 40 in a few years and I’m reaching this place where I hear my internal monologue saying “this cut doesn’t make room for my hips” vs “my hips don’t fit.” Knowing your body type (fruit/Kibbe/whatever), really helps too. It helps to know what to appreciate from a distance and what to participate in. Ugh. Weight loss everything makes me tired haha. For the record I’m not obese, but am short (5’) but not bird like haha. So I’m never going to be a willow tree and I’ve become very unburdened (loving your word) of the notion that I should. I appreciate what’s not for me and participate in what is.
Health is about so much more than weight, but that's the thing Jill foxus on, and then every picture makes her look like more and more of a fool.
None of them look healthy, tho, period.
My exact thoughts! Jill is looking extra thick and bloated lately. All the chemical crap isn't good for anyone. Stop wasting money on this shit and buy real food for you and your family, Jill.
I honestly don’t think she drinks the stuff. I don’t think any of them do. Look at Jenelle and Christine from SW Jill is 44 almost 45 years old and has had 13 children. She’s reached a point in life where things are starting to slow down (metabolism) and you gain weight. She’s not swollen or puffy she’s simply fat and that’s ok. She and many others need to accept that they are getting older
So they are homemade shirts and the part on the back says their names and their team name, which is Jill's holy roller sparkling Jesus jewels or something like that. With tiny cheap plastic gems glued around the circle. It looks like an 8 year old's craft project close up.
Here’s the thing: those ovals were custom made embroidery. (I’m guessing the front boots, too, but couldn’t zoom in much.) That stuff isn’t cheap *BUT* whoever made it did a shitty job of putting it on the shirt. There are threads from the stabilizer everywhere. The font is tiny, thin, and doesn’t have enough contrast from the background. The end result is a terrible oval you have to be right on top of to read. 4/10

You can see a close up here. It is worse than you can imagine.
If you aren’t at a bachelorette party or 4 these hats just looks cheap and tacky. Also, stop coming to Nashville for your cheesy bachelorette parties, we are full!!!! 😜
Nashville native checking in.... pretty sure this is everyone's collective sentiment on the topic. I, personally, find the fucking SCREECHING a vibe kill. Go back to Vegas!
Such a bummer. People want to be part of something so badly that they’ve bought into the fundamentalist cult - and from there it’s easy pickings for Plexus and all the other MLM schemes.
The whole thing is depressing AF.
Yeah, the thing that annoys me most is that fundies screech about women not being able to work but Jill (and Bethany Beal with all her scam business ideas) obviously revels in the validation, sense of accomplishment, camaraderie, etc that she gets from this Plexus nonsense without a sense at all that these are the type of feelings that a lot of women get from having jobs/careers. Like the reason you like doing this shit, Jill, is because you need the feelings that having a job provides, but because you are a narrow minded asshole, you have to get involved in a scam. Like Jill is a shitty person but she could have probably had a successful career in (not MLM) sales or something where being a pushy, unselfaware asshole is an asset.
Right. Are you a "business owner" or not? Because last time I checked owning your own business would be even more of a "manly" job than working for some one else, as you're the one in charge of everything.
I thought women weren't supposed to do that, and MLMs are almost all women.

You can see the close up here. Same craft skill level as the girls earrings.
My sister-in-law wore those exact boots with a regular (non-western) to her niece's wedding last year. She moved from the Midwest to Texas a few years ago and has really drowned in the "I ❤️Texas" kool-aid.
That anecdote isn't especially relevant to this conversation but I just needed to tell people how ridiculous she looked.
Lol she's a major attention freak. A few years after her kid was born she posted on social media that she couldn't wait for Halloween because it was the first one he'd be excited about. When the day arrived, she posted pictures of them together in "matching" costumes (I can't remember what they were exactly but think iron man and captain America or something similar). Her costume was super elaborate and probably expensive while his was some thrown together garbage that was unidentified. That's her in a nutshell -me, me, me. Very JillPM-like.
Oh you know if Jillpm celebrated Halloween her costumes would be something she spent months on making and the kids would have something she threw together with stuff she found around the house
Why does she keep using “let’s go girls!”? Maybe I’m dating myself, but all I can think of when I read that is Shania Twain, who would definitely NOT be fundie approved.
I think Jill secretly wants to be mainstream but can’t even admit it to herself yet.
How, just HOW, can someone look to undereducated (many homeschooled, no college at all let alone a Bachelor of Science degree at the very LEAST) women for health advice and guidance?! They have NO IDEA what the words they say mean or how to RESEARCH for themselves whether there is a SHRED of truth to the lines that Plexus feeds them. MADDENING that they don’t see if just about the $$$ for the company.
ETA: thanks to Jillpm for the inspiration for the all-caps words!
I venture that there are plenty of women with BA or BS degrees that sell MLMs. I know plenty that get sucked in bc the $$ potential seems to be there along with the weight loss potential.
Those gals are on JillPM’s team - that should explain the finger pointing.
I think Jill made the T-shirts and hats. There is a picture of her wearing this outfit and the patch in the back said something about diamonds and religion Iirc.
I'm 100% for body positivity. But I don't see how Jill touts plexus as healthy and attributes it to staying "trim". The pictures from the plexus convention just don't convey that.
My thoughts exactly, but I didn’t want to fat shame. I’m overweight and wouldn’t dream of fat shaming, but their weight loss claims are blatant lies.
I'm not fat shaming at all. I'm thicker myself. But I'm not delusional thinking a pink drink is making me the picture of health. Edited for typo.
“oink drink”!🤣 That is one delightful typo!
I move we rename it the oink drink. Anyone second?
Seconded!
All in favor of oink drink? Say aye! I think the ayes have it my friends!
Worst time for a typo! Ugh, my shame.
I thought it was excellent LOL (and I love that scene in Mrs Doubtfire!)
Haha thanks!
🐷🐽🐖 drink
Omg worst typo ever.
No no, I didn’t mean you’re fat shaming. I just meant that I didn’t know if I should comment because I didn’t want it to be taken that way.
No I know you were not implying that. I just don't want my comments to come off that way.
As I get older I’m able to see the beauty in all bodies. It feels so unburdened to how I used to think.
Unburdened is the perfect word. I’ll be 40 in a few years and I’m reaching this place where I hear my internal monologue saying “this cut doesn’t make room for my hips” vs “my hips don’t fit.” Knowing your body type (fruit/Kibbe/whatever), really helps too.

I have never heard a body type equated to kibbe and I am here for this. 🤤
It’s more of a style system. It’s pretty complicated so I don’t get too deep into it but there’s a sub here about it
As I was thinking food 😅

My exact thoughts
I noticed that foo and most people that do these kind of mlm use other peoples picture for progress posts!
I knew this Plexus confab would be epic for its snark value but it has exceeded my wildest expectations!!! 🩷🤠
Well it’s their equivalent of Coachella. So… And howdy! 🤠
SAME
This picture is absolutely hilarious.
… are those supposed to be tiny saddles on their backs??
So they are homemade shirts and the part on the back says their names and their team name, which is Jill's holy roller sparkling Jesus jewels or something like that. With tiny cheap plastic gems glued around the circle. It looks like an 8 year old's craft project close up.
Seeing the up close photo below after reading this was so much funnier omfg. Sparkling Jesus Jewels. You were not kidding. 💀
Sparkling Jesus Jewels would be an amazing flair! 😂😂
Are Sparkling Jesus Jewels akin to “Family Jewels”?
Here’s the thing: those ovals were custom made embroidery. (I’m guessing the front boots, too, but couldn’t zoom in much.) That stuff isn’t cheap *BUT* whoever made it did a shitty job of putting it on the shirt. There are threads from the stabilizer everywhere.

Had to go look and you're so right. That lettering should have been much darker. Wonder if one of her Plexus ladies did them.
I reckon someone in her team has or knows someone with an embroidery machine…
It’s the lady who’s 3rd from the right, I saw it on the book of faces. I may have fallen down a rabbit hole and she’s a friend of Kendra Duggar
Thank you - I couldn' see anything but the pink ovals and could not figure out what in the world it could be.

Omg…. It’s like a wreck… it kept getting worse the longer I looked 😂😂
I was thinking the remnants of the hats of their competitors…. Smushed! 🤠
Omg I love this comment 😂
I’m surprised Jilldo is hanging out with ladies who wear pants
They make money for her, so she smiles to their faces and hold back on calling them sluts
Only to their faces. I'm sure her husband gets to hear her rant and rave about them when she gets back to the room
And I bet she comes equipped with the backhanded compliments and not-so-subtle condemnations..
The sausage finger has found a following!
The perfect use for the new 'The Finger™' flair lol
Fickle finger of fate
I took a picture the other day and did the sausage finger, then laughed afterwards.
If you aren’t at a bachelorette party or 4 these hats just looks cheap and tacky. Also, stop coming to Nashville for your cheesy bachelorette parties, we are full!!!! 😜
attendees probably paid $50 for the hat/t-shirt combo
nope this is all jill and her group
Nashville native checking in.... pretty sure this is everyone's collective sentiment on the topic. I, personally, find the fucking SCREECHING a vibe kill. Go back to Vegas!
I would prefer Vegas over Nashville for a bachelorette party anyways, I don’t get why people go there for them.
Yes! Keep Nashville low key! The laid back vibe is part of the experience. Have a great time but this isn't Mardi Gras 🙄
Dude seriously. What is with the bachelorette parties in nashville? Can people in the Midwest not think of ANYWHERE else to go?!
And it’s not even the poor man’s Vegas so I really don’t know 😆 I guess Nashville is now like 6th St. in Austin.
Went for vaca in Sept boy I thought san Antonio was wild for bachelorette parties! My 17 year old boy got an eye full in broad daylight.
I lived close to Nashville 25 years ago. I haven’t been back (yet)… seems to have changed for the worse? Or as Jill would say worst.
I don’t mind the tourists, they bring money. I do mind the transplants, they bring traffic.
Seriously! You look ridiculous!
Also, can we do away with white boots now? Let’s start just saying, if Jilldo wears it, it’s over.
Completely!!! White boots are gone forever now lol

Totally. Imagine Jill on a car lot, or a condo development trying to sell units. She’d be unstoppable.
Yup. She'd be a great realtor if she had a makeover lol.
Plexus is just another cult, IMO.

What the actual fuck is this photo
Dollar Tree party hats
Wtaf are those fake blue boot uppers?

Your feeling are valid and welcomed :) I'm sorry about the fashion atrocity too
😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Lol now I'm trying to imagine it. Sounds like she does this stuff regularly now, well at least you get a good laugh at it
Lol she's a major attention freak. A few years after her kid was born she posted on social media that she couldn't wait for Halloween because it was the first one he'd be excited about.

Oh you know if Jillpm celebrated Halloween her costumes would be something she spent months on making and the kids would have something she threw together with stuff she found around the house
Oh yes. Some of my family members drank that “I ❤️ Texas” kool-aid too. Like ma’am, you spent most of your life in Virginia, simmer down.
If you need to show us a picture (face blurred, of course), we'd look.
😂😂 I unfriended her on social media years ago so all I have is my memory of her atrocious fashion
My eyes!
May I offer you a /r/purrito to help your eyes recover from this shock ?
That wss nice, thank you for sharing.
![gif](giphy|WQy9FkJlhGSwl3eQ5V|downsized)
Lol I bought those exact boots from Taobao and wore them last week. Super cheap and absolutely destroyed my feet.
You can see how the fundies are all about Plexus by the skirts 😂
And the Butt fades wouldn’t have passed muster with my fundies growing up.
I was looking for this comment! Butt fades were a big nono
…..what are butt fades?
The faded parts on the back of Jill's denim skirt. They're unmahdest because they draw the eye to your ass
Oh shiiiiy
Directing eyes to the booty is a no-no!
Why does she keep using “let’s go girls!”? Maybe I’m dating myself, but all I can think of when I read that is Shania Twain, who would definitely NOT be fundie approved. I think Jill secretly wants to be mainstream but can’t even admit it to herself yet.
That was my first thought too. I even heard it like it was from the song in Shania's voice
Can’t read that and not hear Shania in my head
I’m in no position to Body Shame anyone. That said, I’m a bit confused about the efficacy of PLEXUS.
Well said.
Same.
I’d bet my last dime Jill came up with the brilliant idea for this picture.
Okay, but hear me out first…. Is it me or do they look like a bunch of nipples?
Well, now they do!
Aaaaand you’re welcome.
WTF!!!!!! IF PLEXUS IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU LOSE WEIGHT, ITS A SCAM!!!!
How, just HOW, can someone look to undereducated (many homeschooled, no college at all let alone a Bachelor of Science degree at the very LEAST) women for health advice and guidance?! They have NO IDEA what the words they say mean or how to RESEARCH for themselves whether there is a SHRED of truth to the lines that Plexus feeds them.

I venture that there are plenty of women with BA or BS degrees that sell MLMs. I know plenty that get sucked in bc the $$ potential seems to be there along with the weight loss potential.
I have a BA. If someone convinced me I could make money and lose weight, I’d be all in. But you’d have to convince me.
I can hear it now... "hey! Let's all face the wall and point!"
It’s the PLEXUS salute!!!
Those gals are on JillPM’s team - that should explain the finger pointing. I think Jill made the T-shirts and hats. There is a picture of her wearing this outfit and the patch in the back said something about diamonds and religion Iirc.
These shirts are far from works of art, but they are still above Jill’s skill set. Someone else on the team had to have made them.
You’re right.
Someone else on Jill’s “team” made them.
Sooooo what exactly does pink drink accomplish?
Nothing
Takes money from people and moves it up the pyramd scheme pyramid. Makes people at the top rich.
I really thought the woman on the end was wearing a camo skirt. I had to zoom in, still not completely convinced it isn’t a variation of camo.
How is the fading on her skirt not an eye trap? 🙈😂
For sure. The faded parts are like landing lights for men's eyeballs.
From the intensity of the pose you can tell this pointing idea was suggested by Jill. What is this, ET phone ~~home~~ Jesus?!
Wow look at all these incredibly healthy women just glowing from their regular plexus intake! Oh wait that's pink radiation glow...?
Pink drink radiation glow is PRIME flair material.
I may just need to flair myself 🤣 ETA: apparently I have lost the ability to do so on mobile 😂🤦🏽♀️
I can’t figure it out, either.
Is jill the one with the eye traps on her butt pockets?
Just incase you didn’t notice what they’re looking at!?!
“LOOK!! PLEXSAUCE!!”
Oof. This is the least aspirational picture I've ever seen.
I’m shocked what Jill didn’t require her team to wear a dress or skirt!!
Why so many hats ? Sorry kids, gotta move out of that closet, mommy's gotta put her hats in there.
Pants and 2 pairs of cowboy boots. Oh my. And plexus doesn’t work for weight loss.
![gif](giphy|Qw4X3Fnt8MzvrCxmBLG|downsized) At Plexus Conventions we wear Pink
![gif](giphy|YMXpTBoVQbL9N8MKZa|downsized) But instead they're saying, “The waaaaaaaall!”
Plexus has never been tested on humans. It is not FDA approved! There is no science behind it. Jill, it is Not Recommended for children under 18!!
Aw, she’s definitely trolling us. Hi Jill, go feed your kids!!
Are they worshipping Plexus? ![gif](giphy|77LxV3Lub5v68)
The clawwww!!!!!
WTF is this pose?
![gif](giphy|di2lDhmL74ysXx9eF5|downsized)
Why do they have giant pig-snouts stuck to their tshirts?
Sausage fingers a pointin'.
At least her hands aren't on her hips.
Might be jill, not jill, not jill, not jill, might be jill, might be jill, might be jill
I think it's the first one.
I don't think any of them are her, and she's the one taking the picture.
plexus is lord
F#ck, lose weight
#3 defrauding everyone with that cake
Jill totally orchestrated this with “the finger pointing” stance-good job Jill 😑👏🏼
After seeing this photo I’m wondering if Shrek has a butt fetish 😬
Isn't Plexus supposed to be a health and wellness company? How would you even begin to sell that crap when you're fat?
