Katie lost 75
Featured today for a little bit of inspiration is our friend Katie. She reached a point in her 20's with marriage on the horizon when she wanted to push the restart button and begin again. By eating 6 small meals a day, drinking lots of water and of the course the support and encouragement of a health coach, Katie lost 75 pounds and has maintained it for over a year now by living out our habits of health system.

1. Make a list ahead of time. Planning recipes will not only help you shop for the things you really need, it will save you money too.
