Starting your Weight Loss Journey can be a challenge. These 25 must have weight loss tools to begin your journey can make it easier.
Before You Start Your Weight Loss Journey
Starting your weight loss journey is not always easy. I recently have been struggling with some health issues. I have always been underweight. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease and have been on a merry go round, so to speak. I am currently more than 20 pounds over what I normally am. I have been exercising but nothing is working.
I am sure you can relate to not feeling your best when you are not at your optimal weight. Maybe you feel like me and start to feel a little self-conscience. I know I am not defined by my weight and I have to do a little self-talking to remind me who I am. I decided I need to make a change and start my own challenge.
I am gathering together a lot of information about my health and going to begin a focused plan to get healthy. It will start with a few supplements, better eating, some essential oils for my adrenals and a focused exercise plan.
For my birthday, my husband got me a fit bit, so that will be part of my accountability. Being a writer has its challenges in itself. I am using the fit bit to remind me to get up and walk. These weight loss tools below have all you need to get started. I will keep you up to date how it’s working.

Bless your heart, Candi. I am really, really sorry you’re having to go through all that. Symptoms of Graves’ disease would throw anyone off their game and then some! I’ll be sure to send some good energy your way.
Just out of curiosity, what were your main symptoms that caused you to find out what was going on? And since beginning treatment, are you feeling any better?
On a different note, the weight loss tools you listed are simply awesome. How are you liking your Fitbit? I have a Fitbit Charge HR and love it, with the exception of the nonreplaceable band that’s completely falling apart.
Do keep us updated on how things are going, and if you ever have any weight loss questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d be happy to help.
I hope your holidays were wonderful and Happy New Year! May you kick 2017’s butt!
