Struggling to lose last 15 lbs.
I need some encouragement and tips to get these last 15lbs off. I've lost about 50lbs, but my weight keeps fluctuating between 185-180.

Going over fiber

Hi All, another newbie
Hi my name is Lisa. I am a full-time working mother in graduate school. I have been so busy focusing on everyone else, that I have forgotten about myself. This is more about being healthy and full of energy than looking a certain way. So far tracking what I eat has really helped me start eating breakfast and be aware of…
