FAVORITE QUOTE
There is a difference between interest and commitment.
When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient.
When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses - only results!

I am a 52 yr old woman who has struggled with my weight my entire life. On and off many different diets/programs - faltering motivation - and denial of how my weight has affected my health.

On a new path - a healthful journey - working to lose 100 lbs + one day at a time. Using TDP to help me track, keep me honest. Using a health coach to assist in my progress. Trying to work the tools available and plan more, eat healthier, drink more water, sleep more, take my meds appropriately and regularly, exercise more, and all in all become healthier to live longer and stronger!
