  • Hi a year ago I knew we were going on a cruise for my birthday in August 2018. I said oh I have a year to lose about 15-20 pounds. No problem. It had always been easy to lose weight. But I had my thyroid removed a few years back and now it’s not so easy. Fast forward and we are just over 90 days away. I’m eating right,…

  • Hi Jess I started taking Phentermine yesterday. I never thought I would be one to take weight loss pills.

  • I read recently that most calorie trackers don't identify the difference between natural suar & added sugar in foods. I would recommend that you limit the items with added sugar. And don't feel guilty about eating natural foods that have sugar. Just like protein, carbs & good fat, your body needs some sugar to function.…
