HOW I LOST 14 LBS IN 14 DAYS — AND 6 AMAZING TRICKS TO HELP STAY ON COURSE.

My goal for this article is to share my own trial and error experience with losing and maintaining a healthy weight. Clever tricks that keep me on track and to inspire others to change their thinking about what is possible.
