A lady not long ago said, “The scale is not showing any change,” since I was within earshot of the conversation, I said to her, “Don’t go by the scale, go by how you feel!

In some cases, you may need a trainer or coach to hold you accountable and to maintain your success. The Paradigm (Limiting Beliefs) wants to keep you comfortable.
