Carissa’s 3 Tips for Success

1. Take it a meal at a time
2. Be consistent and just walk even if it’s to the corner and back as it all adds up in the end
3. Up your protein with each meal and don’t fear carbs as our bodies need it for fuel.

“Never give up as weight loss is never an easy thing. Weight goes up and down but you need to be consistent and push through.”
