Last week I was feeling a little less than enthused, to say the very least! I reached my initial goal weight, but I did not feel the way I expected I would. When I began this whole process, I had this vision of jumping for joy and tearing up on the scale when I finally […]

I say with less enthusiasm than I had imagined I would, but I reached my first goal of 154 lbs. and actually surpassed it by a pound. No, I am not done with weight loss, not even close, but I find myself feeling exhausted and discouraged. I feel like I have sacrificed so much, said […]
