  • My surgery is scheduled for 9/2. I've lost about 10 pounds since starting the whole process in December 2019. I would have lost more but I really struggled when Covid started. Looking forward to getting the help to tool offers and resetting my life!

  • Sometimes self care isn't just bubble baths and lotion. It can be starting a project that you've been putting off, organizing something, creating a debt reduction plan, that kind of thing.

  • I love to garden! One of my main motivations to lose weight. Tonight I picked two zucchini and a couple of tomatoes. My most exciting find was the caterpillars on my dill! Not being sarcastic; I love knowing I'm helping the little guys out!
