I’ve been thinking quite a lot lately about my Christmas post of last year, http://redroom.com/member/jill-moore/blog/a-christmas-miracle. What a dismal Christmas that was for me. I missed my children, I missed my friends and I missed a religion-based faith that I no longer found...

Any of you who read this blog with any regularity know that it is meant, in part, to chronicle my personal weight loss journey. But another big part of it for me is helping others to see what a terrible predicament we’ve gotten ourselves (and our children) into as a nation through bad...

I woke up this morning, still inspired by the words of Michelle Obama and Julian Castro from the Democratic National Convention. As I poured through my friends’ Facebook posts,...

I’ve known Suzanne a long time. Fifteen years to be exact. For most of those fifteen years, Suzanne was extremely overweight and I could tell that it affected how she felt about herself, which affected…well…everything. But Suzanne made a choice to get healthy and I am so happy...

Weight loss is, indeed, a journey. For anyone like me who needs to lose 100+ lbs total, it MUST be a marathon, not a sprint.
