Sigh. I know I want to lose weight and I probably need to lose weight, but honestly the idea of being deprived for months for that to happen (We aren’t like men who lose weight in two days!) just makes me want to quit before I start.
To me, the key to dropping pounds that really stay off and feeling good while doing it is all about the choice of recipes. Most people don’t have tons of time to be searching every day, so I have done the work for you! Stay on track and enjoy the ride.
