The road to weight loss is sometimes difficult, especially when we travel it alone. It helps to have a friend that understands the hardships that we encounter along the way. There are a lot of weight loss support groups out there that are great if you have the time to attend the meetings. This blog is for all of us who struggle daily and just need that little shot of encouragement. I am on this road too and would be glad to help you in any way I can. You'll see recipes, weight loss tips, encouragement and a little bit of humor here. I want to help you in your weight loss journey. This site is not about making money; it's about helping YOU to succeed and realize that dreams really can come true. Contact me on my Facebook page under Frieda Carver Lewis if you have questions. Have a lighter day today!

Get Started Today



It's pretty easy to find an excuse not to start a weight loss plan or even simply a "better eating" plan.  Excuses such as, "I'll wait till after the holiday", "I'll wait till after the party",  "I don't feel well today; I will wait till I feel better", "I'll wait till after vacation", "I can't diet because my husband (partner) doesn't want to eat like I do".  Time passes and pretty soon, a year has gone by.  Then, when you look back, you will wish you had started when you knew you needed to feed your body better and shed some of those unwanted pounds.

Let's quit listening to the devil on your shoulder and find excuses to start TODAY.  So what if that birthday party is coming up.  Have your piece of cake and get right back on your program.  If you are on vacation, allow yourself one splurge day or evening and get back on the program.  If your partner doesn't support you, never fear.  Make your own way.  How many times have you had a calorie laden dessert or treat that your partner didn't have with you?  It's not what we do occasionally that makes a difference, it's what we do consistently every day.  So have that one treat and make that the exception.  Stay on your program every day.  You must learn to put yourself first and take care of your body.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  No excuses!
