I was always overweight. Not extremely obese, but I was never at a “healthy” weight. I hated going to the doctor, because he would always tell me I needed to lose weight. I already knew that… but I never did anything about it. I always had excuses & wanted to […]
If you decided a few months ago that this year would be the year you successfully went on your own fitness Quest or lived your own Transformation story, more power to you! Now while for some people it might be easy to remain motivated the whole way once they’ve resolved […]
