I hit my goal weight of 160 today! I still want to lose another 5 lbs so I'll have a bounce range. Before: After:

I just started drinking the matcha tea a week ago. I know it has 10x the antioxidants of regular green tea. I've been on my second round of Whole30 and couldn't handle black coffee anymore. I decided I hate plain black coffee. Yuck. So I looked for an alternative and found matcha. Since I don't use added sweeteners I think it tastes awesome as a smoothie with a bit of frozen fruit. I've noticed it gives me the caffeine boost but not much more yet. But I haven't been using it very long either. I'll let you know in a few more weeks!

Thank you SO much! I ordered the collagen powder. I've been looking for an alternative to whey that is also flavorless. I also have read about the benefits of gelatin/collagen but never did anything about it. My dairy intolerance was made much worse after surgery. I avoid it most of the time and when I decide to indulge I usually regret it. I've wanted something to add to my matcha smoothies and this should be perfect, especially since I have joint problems. Thanks again!

I'm almost a year out and this still happens to me. I think it's funny. Small price to pay!

I have the opposite problem. Short legs and a long trunk! It takes all sorts to make a world ????

I definitely recommend reading the book "It Starts With Food". It explains the science behind how our brain is addicted to certain foods and how to heal your body physically and mentally. I didn't realize how much I was addicted to sugar and sugar substitutes until I cut them out. I had binging dreams (mostly cake and doughnuts) for a week straight.

Aw, thanks! My brain hasn't caught up with my body yet. I don't realize the differences until I do comparison pics. 12 pounds to go until I'm at my goal weight! ????????

I laugh when people don't recognize me. A few weeks ago I walked up behind a long-time customer and she said she never would have recognized me if I hadn't opened my mouth and greeted her first. ☺️
