Back with a vengeance
I started using MFP about 8 years ago and lost about 50 lbs. Maintenance was my downfall. Finding what works can be a challenge. I decided not to follow any diets out there. I’m 59 next month so this must be a lifestyle permanent change. Before this morning, I was willingly putting poison in my mouth through processed…
