I knew my body would change. I just didn’t realize how much I would want to touch the changes. I love feeling my face and finding cheekbones. I love feeling how my waistline goes in now. I even like to touch my arms which are skinnier. So weird. But I don’t see it stopping anytime soon.

I went to lunch with colleagues. They chose Mexican. I had a few chips with salsa and a sensible meal. I ordered 2 tacos a la carte because I didn’t want (or need) the sides. It wasn’t difficult to keep my hand from going back for more chips. Actually, I didn’t even give it much thought. So my NSV is that these changes are…

Losing 5 more lbs before my Dr appt next month so I can be “overweight” and not “obese”.

I am there with you. I am always behind the camera and never in it. I saw a mom take a selfie with her kiddo shortly before I started down this path. It made me sad that I had NO desire to be in a picture WITH my kids. I want to feel confident enough to do that. That’s when I will know I have accomplished my goal. You can…

As a working mom of 3 I know it is difficult. I started and stopped many, many times. So many that I thought I just didn’t have it in me. But I am now 2.5 months in and down 20 something pounds and still going. The difference? My process and my attitude. I failed before. So I looked back at those attempts. Why did I fail?…

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and the resources. I first had doubt that I could put in what it takes to lose weight. Now that I am having success I now worry that I won’t be able to maintain. I am determined to get to a healthy weight and stay there.

Oh man. There are too many pieces to this puzzle to have a right answer. I have actually given this a lot of thought lately. Now that I have lost some weight I actually want this for everyone. Not because I think they need it to be a better person. But because I LOVE the way I feel now and want this for everyone. I…

Yes - It absolutely made my day. I am 44 and hope to have some of that reverse aging happen 😀

I understand this feeling. I never really put words to it. When at a healthy weight it never bothered me to meet my husbands co-workers, friends etc. At a bigger size I hated it. Whether it was a surprise crossing of paths or a planned get together I was uncomfortable. I am down about 20 lbs and more comfortable. But your…

I have never had a big sweet tooth. I try to limit added sugar (for metabolic health reasons not calories). But I don’t absolutely outlaw sugar. I try to cut all the sneaky sugar added into foods you wouldn’t think had sugar. This leaves room for an occasional treat which I enjoy in moderation and ensure the treat is not…

I have lost 20 lbs (with more to lose). I saw someone yesterday that I have not seen since I began losing weight. She gushed over my make up. Kept telling me how great it looked. I only wear a touch of make up and it was no different than any other day. I am certain it is the reduction of fat in my face that made my face…

I had to buy some new clothes for work. I bought a size down from my “regular “ size in tops and pants. I still can’t believe it. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 Clothes shopping was a little more enjoyable as well. When I drop more weight it might actually be fun. This is SO worth any little tidbit of food I thought I missed.

I am 6-7 pounds (depending on the scale that day) from leaving the BMI Obese category and moving into Overweight. Not planning on staying there. Just going to visit on my way to Healthy.
