  • I do believe the way to tackle losing more than 50 pounds is to only think in units of 10. If I focus on 50+, I am paralyzed. If I think terms of 10,,,my perspective changes. I can do it!!!

  • You can add me!! I have lost 35 and have 48 more to go. I have been working on this for 1.75 years now. slow and steady is the pace. No backsliding. I spent the decade of my 40s being careless with my health. I am using the decade of my 50s taking care of myself.
