Hi, my name is Cindy. I started this journey just over a year ago. I had tried all different types of "diets" to try and help me lose weight, however, none of them lasted past the initial 15-20 lbs down. Then surprise--the weight came back. What I never realized was that they were never going to work. The day that changed things for me?? I walked into work from my car and was winded by the time I got to the elevators...that was it! I decided finally that I needed help. This was probably the hardest thing for me. I saw a commercial for a weight loss program in my area and they offered free consultations--I figured what did I have to lose right? BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!!! They finally taught me to eat correctly. I learned to eat to live--not live to eat. I learned that it was a lifestyle change--not a diet (which is why it never worked in the past). Once I knew these things, I was on the road to success. I'm so grateful everyday for making the decision to take my life back. Feel free to ask me anything. I could also use a few more friends ☺️. Having support is a big deal in sticking to your goals.

I would love to be your friend. I have no idea how to eat. My dr says I should cut all carbs out but do I cut calories too. I am so confused on how to eat to get this weight off.0

It's about balance. I still eat carbs, just not as many. Carbs are hidden in everything. I personally eat 4 veggies, 3 fruit, protein, 3 starches, dairy & healty fat daily. Portion control is key.0 -
