Morning I guess I’ll introduce myself?

Hi everyone I’m Kelly. I’m trying to get healthy and lose weight. Mostly be healthy though. I’ve recently been kicked in the butt with how unhealthy I am and how I miss being active and having energy. I’m a stay at home mom and I own a tea business I created myself. I’m in desperate need of advice and encouragement because I don’t really get that from my spouse. I started trying to eat better and work out a couple weeks ago and it’s been tough. I’ve already lost 5lbs but I’m losing hope that I’ll reach my goals. I decided to try this and hope for the best.

If you're overweight, losing weight will in itself improve your health.
You lose weight when you eat less, consistently, for real, and for a long time. Are you using your food diary and a food scale?
What's tough? Eating healthily should be easy and moderate exercise should be enjoyable, so what are you doing?

Good luck, Kelly!
