Hi, first let me say I'm so glad you're here, and that you're working towards a goal for your health and especially your own sense of happiness. It sounds like you already have a great attitude, and realistic expectations of time for weight loss to occur. I'm not sure if the food you listed is an average day for you, but…

I won't pay for house painting (interior or exterior). I can do it, so I should. Speaking of, I should really get to these crown mouldings and baseboards ;)

Wow! Those (obvious!!) results make me want to try! I have the DVD, but I've been doing other things... maybe I'll switch it up!!

There is a lot of controversy over whether or not cleanses work, or have benefits, or whether they are in fact bad for you.

When one eats primarily processed foods, you actually lose the ability to taste non-processed things, which is why healthy food…

WOW! According to your tracker you've lost 20 lbs. That seems pretty awesome and inspiring to me. If you have to do Day 4 before bed to keep that momentum going... you do it! Look at your amazing results! Trudge forward, and just think how good it will be, next week at this time, when you've finished ALL FOUR DAYS. Keep…

Go ahead, eat at night. More and more studies are showing that it doesn't matter what time you eat at (aimed specifically at The don't-eat-after-6-diet-mantra), it matters what and how much you eat. Just plan for it. You know you want to eat at night (me too!) so I make sure that I eat a smaller breakfast and save my…
