As far as I'm a woman, I can see losing weight from another aspect. There are really good advices here connected the practical side of losing weight - but what about the mental part? You have to ask yourself some questions... First of all, do you love yourself enough to lose weight? As years go by ( I'm in my mid forties)…

I like the…

If you feel sweaty exercises "comforting", you are on the best way to a healthy lifestyle! I beg you not to give up!!! I'm sure the result you've reached is great!
