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...

I've taken a lot of heat this week on social media for commenting on posts that discuss weight loss and on a few posts about the various injections for weight loss that are now available. These injections were initially prescribed for reducing blood...
