  • NOPE! We may pull the covers up and tidy a bit when we get out, but it takes less than 30 seconds and does not involve smoothing or decorative pillows :)

  • Welcome! I have the same problem with demotivation if I don't see results. Something that I did recently helped me jump start my new healthy lifestyle and got me some results quickly which has helped my psyche. To get started I actually did a fruit flush for 3 days (basically you just eat fruit for a few days and drink…

  • Hi! I've been successful at them in the past. I lost 25 lbs last year and part of that was due to fruit fasts.

But, I like them,…
