The first part of this weight loss journey is coming to an end in a few short months. I can’t believe how fast the year has gone. I am down almost 40lbs. I have taken up scuba again and have truly enjoyed how this year has turned out. I am a new person with a new body. My journey is going to continue even after the Fresh Diet. It has been an incredible year. Starting new things, taking care of myself both physically and mentally. When you gain weight (at least for me) even though I didn’t let it stop [...]

I am craving all the bad things like chocolate, ice cream and anything else that is not good for you. Up until this point I have [...]

I have had some time off of The Fresh Diet for a couple of days here and there. All for good reason. Spending time with friends and family. The good thing is that I have not gained any of the weight back and even lost a pound. That is what makes this life style change an amazing adventure. I have found [...]
