Tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I finally reached my 60 lbs. today. Took a lot longer this time around, but I reached it. Looking forward to my next milestone. Many things went into the slow down for me, for the most part I got off track some days and I just haven’t been as physically active asContinue reading “Our First Thanksgiving on Plan”

Matt and I are planners.  We plan for everything (or as much as we get advanced notice for).  We make to-do lists.

With every weight loss plan or dietary journey there are up and downs. We have attempted numerous weight loss plans over the years without much success. Why would any other plan be different? We discovered MOXIFIT through our family health clinic. How is this program different from all the rest? We soon realized that theContinue reading ““If you stick to the plan IT WORKS””

Matt’s Why Being obese (yeah I said it) is what I am, but not who I am. This has been an on going battle for 20 plus years for me. But Why? I can tell you why. I love food. I love to eat. It’s not rocket science it is plain and simple. I haveContinue reading “Our Beginning”
