I have 10 pounds to lose and having a hard time doing that.

I could stand to lose a good 50+ pounds, but, to be honest, I don't really do anything about. I just try to remind myself to not eat complete shit every single day so that I don't gain weight too quickly.

I'm heading into month 9 of my new way of eating, it's one of the best things I've ever done. I've got a couple more months before my annual checkup and this is the first time I've been looking forward to stepping on the scale and seeing my doctor's face.

Take before photos! Mine made me cringe but now I'm so glad I have them for comparison.

It's difficult, but I know you can do it!
