Birthing My New Life
I was at church the other day and the sermon was about how Jesus compared our Christian struggle to the birth process. I began to think more deeply, not just about my moral struggles, but about my psychological physical struggle as well with this weight loss in particular. The point of inception is so wonderful, the…

New Here
Good Morning, I'm new here. After a rough two years of being diagnosed and treated and coming out the other side from Uterine cancer; and then losing my boyfriend 6 months ago, I was not eating properly, and it has caught up with me.

Do you agree with these statements
Hi, I'm new to the group. I need to lose 40 pounds and I've completely stalled at my current weight.

I've been told I'm not getting enough calories at about 1000 per day, and that I eat too much fruit - so…
