Fat fingers?
Ok, so I started my weight loss at 147 lbs. I am 5'7.5". I was hardly overweight. My goal was more to get into better shape and tone up a bit. After losing 14 lbs none of my rings fit anymore. And it's not like they are a little loose. They went from quite fitted to falling straight off my finger. I know our bodies choose…

It's the small things that change our lives
So, even though I haven't lost much weight, logged my food or watched my calories as much as I want to, I've still noticed changes. My husband and I no longer order a medium pizza so we can have leftovers, causing us to eat poorly for more than one day. We now order only a small pizza and we split meals at restaurants we…
