For a starter, I'd steer clear of beer (whew, I'm a poet!). I found it took a long time to find what kind of beer I liked, which included drinking a LOT that I hated... which is just wasting calories! I'd say start out with maybe some semi-sweet wine? Any place that serves wine by the glass will let you have a taste before…

Yes! I used to have cold hands and feet all the time -- probably because my blood sugar was so low! But now I'm definitely more of a hot-natured person. I haven't used the sweater I keep in the office in a while and I don't need the comforter on my bed at night lately! It's not just you :smile:

That definitely helps!! Thanks so much -- this is all just so different than what I've been doing in the past! I'm really excited to give it a try and see what happens, I'll certainly update. :smile:

What do you think is holding you back from being in your TOP shape? misunderstanding how to get there.. I've been attempting to eat around 1200 calories/day for over…
