My final weight loss attempt after 40 years of different diet failures. No shakes, no supplements, no surgery, no crazy food, no purchased meal plans, no fasting. Creating a healthier relationship with food and facing the painful truth about my relationship surrounding food. No BS, just common sense. And it worked.

It was one of those weeks where my body fought back. I'm sure it realized I was going for a long-term calorie deficit, and it responded with a 'hell no we ain't doin' that." I stepped on the scale to discover I'd lost 0.8 of a pound. My app is set...

If you have kept up with this blog, you may remember me posting about my husband breaking his heel the last week we were at camp, which required me to do most of the work to break down our campsite, drive the 2,000 miles back to our home, and then ba...

Monday is 'get on the scale' day (oh joy) and I was dreading it. I don't know why, because I believed I did really well my first week. I was happy to see I lost 2.4 pounds last week. While I was happy to see this, I was hoping for more of a first...

Two years ago next month, I started a serious weight loss journey. My goal was to lose 60 pounds by my 60th birthday. I lost 70 pounds in six months and achieved my goal. I thought once I lost the weight, all my weight loss problems would magically g...

I know how cliche this is, but who doesn't need to lose those holiday pounds or those holiday plus pounds? I know I've put back on some of the 70 pounds I lost a few years ago so I'm ready to start losing that extra weight. I'm hoping you will jo...

I've mentioned my husband's sister a few times on this blog. She is a year older than me, never leaves the house without being totally put together (no throwing on sweats and schlepping up to Walmart for her). She's into yoga, manifesting things from...
