I know other peoples weight loss should not affect my journey, but it turns out that 2 women in my office that I admired from a distance for losing so much weight did so by going to Mexico for the stomach sleeve surgery 😕 No judgment to them, I’m just sad because I thought, if they can be super disciplined, then so can I.…

Rewards for sticking to exercise routine
Hi all, Sorry for the long post - I know this topic has been discussed before but I thought I'd "refresh" it.

I’ve dropped 80 pounds just by changing the way I eat, and I’m…

I EAT A LITTLE VS I EAT A LOT
It isn’t about how much or how little you eat. It’s about calories in vs calories out. Eat atleast 500 calories below maintenance weight calories to lose weight. Lower fat intake to burn body fat and eat more protein to build and recover muscle 💪🏾 add 10k steps a day and some resistance training and you’re golden! Good luck

MOTIVATION
I've always believed that 'motivation' is overrated! I haven't always felt motivated to do something, but I just make a decision to do it because I know what I'll feel like afterward (whether it's in business, wellness, relationships, etc.). What's your thought on MOTIVATION?

Persistence, not perfection!
Do you find yourself getting frustrated and ready to give up when “dieting” isn’t going perfect? That was certainly me over and over when trying to lose weight and get healthy. I felt that if I blew it one day that was it I just ruined everything so I let it mess with my mind and I would give up. Learning now, but is…

This is too hard
My pants don’t fit and they break anytime I try on a new pair. I hobble so bad trying to put on socks and getting around sucks. I’ve tried to reach out in my personal life but ppl don’t understand- I feel like this is just how my life is now.
