Last week on the caonference call, Candice mentioned how she would prefer to not have us weigh in all the time and just go by how we are feeling.   I always like seeing results on the scale but this week I am definitely feeling good!  I finally made it to the gym each day and …

I am down 4 pounds this week which honestly makes me feel so great.  Getting on that scale and seeing that result is so motivating.  It makes me feel slimmer than I actually am   But along with that great feeling of accomplishment comes rationalization…I am down 4 pounds so I can have a few …

Welcome to the easiest time of year to lose weight – when everyone is throwing away extra treats and trying extra hard to eat healthy.  Lucky for me, I got my wife and some friends on board.  We have some close friends who do weight watchers and they are being super good about it right …
