  • Welcome! While watching what you eat in general is definitely a great step forward, I'd encourage you to watch this documentary about how it is certain types of foods, not just amount, that can play a big role in reversing diabetes and other chronic illness: https://www.adventhealth.com/plantwise-documentary I work in…

  • Have you ever reflected on how fast food makes you feel? Unfortunately, I grew up on fast food so I would say I was addicted to it - busy single mom bustling us kids between lots of after school activities. We definitely had fast food 2-3x per week. So I thought it was normal and I *genuinely* enjoy it and look forward to…

    in What is your "Petty" Reason to Lose Weight? Comment by manicdaisy April 2019
  • Height: 4' 11" SW: 165 Current: 134.6 Goal weight: 120 I started my journey at the very beginning of October 2018. Honestly, I was surprised with how easy losing weight is this time around after yo-yoing between 150-170 for the past few years. I started weighing my food, reaching 10k steps most days, and I'm on a…
