I’ve lost 35 pounds. I don’t really get on the scale much anymore—because my body is starting to build lean muscle (for the first time EVER in my life!!!!!)....and I’m now wearing the smallest jean size I’ve ever worn in my life. So now it’s not about the scale as much as it is about how I feel, measurements, and how the…

I understand. You have a vision in your mind. You are working hard and not seeing results. Once I understood that our body/fitness is this magic formula: 80% NUTRITION + 20% EXERCISE—my body completely changed. Add protein and nutrient-dense food into your life and watch your body transform. I’m still on my journey....but…

I feel you. And agree with a lot that has been said. It is not anyone’s business what you are doing to be healthy....or totally unhealthy. If someone has a problem with your salad or candy bar—they have a problem with their self. And—next—to rise above the chatter in our head and from external chatter is like the greatest…
