Have you ever been on a diet? Most people have. This is how it goes: you start the - diet and feel great - for the first few days.

Here is a true confession that I don't include in my bio on my website. In the not so long ago past I had been carrying an extra 20 pounds on my not so large 5'4" frame.

You’ve planned your meals, kept a food journal, gone to the gym only to get on the scale and see only a half pound of weight loss. It’s just so frustrating! We’ve all heard that slow weight loss is best for weight maintenance, but why? There’s no question, faster weight loss means quicker results which is a lot more motivating than weight loss at a snail's pace. Wouldn’t it then be safe to say that...

As a mother of 5 children I’ve gained and lost around 200 pounds in the last decade. As a Prairie Wife living in the middle of nowhere Wyoming, I had to rely on more than a little grit and grace to find ways to lose all that weight! The closest gym is 30 minutes away and sadly, our single income budget doesn’t allow for a private chef or nanny. Over the years I’ve learned what truly works and I’m here...

If you are unhappy with what you see when you look in the mirror, you are not alone! The health and fitness industry in the United States generates almost $26 billion a year, and you’re probably not the sole contributor to that number (if you are, we need to talk!).
