Two weeks ago I eliminated alcohol (waaaah!), grains, sugar, fruit, legumes and dairy. My initial goal was to starve out Candida, I've been on oodles of antibiotics and Prednisone over the years to combat sinus infections. But in these two weeks I've lost 9 pounds and can see that when I'm done with this...in another two…

Another perspective: forget about exercise. It's great for your health but doesn't burn many calories. If you burn 200 calories working out, think about how fast you can eat that many calories and wipe out the exercise. What we weigh is largely dependent on what we eat. Hopefully, without worrying about exercise (for a few…

My best friend is a baker. It's not her job, it's her passion, and she's great at it. She goes through flour and butter like I've been going through spinach and oat meal (not at the same time, that would be gross).

I'm a certified health coach and a molecular biologist. And yes, I have weight to lose too. Knowing what to do and doing it can be two different things:) Exercise is great for our health, but it doesn't burn a lot of calories. Our weight is largely dependent on the food we eat. If you're hungry all the time perhaps you're…

If AA isn't your thing, there's a great site to help with alcohol abstinence: https://www.hellosundaymorning.org It's free. You sign up for a self-governed period of time to quit or reduce your alcohol consumption. You can set other goals if you like, or join in others' promises to themselves. It's a great community of…

I'm Karen and I'm in. Am in my mid 50s and have become a slug. A big, squishy, soft-bodied slug. Was a gym rat till I was ~40, how the hell did this happen? But it's time to get my life back. Very happy to be doing this with you. Yay!!
