And so begins Claire's journey into weight loss.
Claire has bravely agreed to share her thoughts and progress (even photos!) as she works to lose those unwanted pounds and expose the lean, healthy woman that she knows is in there.
Claire wants your help. If you have struggled with weight loss, you know it can be difficult to reach your goal. Send Claire your advice, tips and encouragement.
She will keep us updated on her progress and hopefully others will want to join Claire in her program. Let her know if you are dieting along with her. Remember, there is strength in numbers.
