A new year ... a fresh start. New Beginnings .. new goals! Habits are hard to change. And losing weight, for so many, is a lifelong battle.

I’m now in my 50s and I’ve drastically lowered my calorie intake but I’m still not losing weight. I’ve been consistently on for about 6 weeks now. I do struggle with…

After regaining all my weight (70Lbs) I am back!
At the end of 2016, I started my health journey. I weighed 200 lbs, over weight for a 5'7" male - it was all in the gut and not muscle. I ended up getting under weight at about 130 lbs focusing mainly on cardio. Ran into some trouble with binge eating for a month or two because I wasn't eating enough calories for my…
