Reality Health Check:


I am currently at the 20 pound mark! go me!!! I want to lose 10-15 more pounds however... Hopefully I can say that I reached that goal when I start graduate school this fall. Please note that it’s not just a superficial thing.  Extra fat is bad for your organs as it “smothers” them and causes inflammation.  Extra body fat also increases wear and tear on our joints and can increase chances of gallstones, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Fact: for every 10 pounds that you lose, you take 40 pounds of pressure off of your knees.  Enough said.  I’m on a mission to save my knees! :)
