Weight loss motivation gone wrong

Weight loss motivation gone wrong
Weight loss ads. You simply can’t get around them. From Oprah and Weight Watchers to Marie Osmond with Nutrisystem, everyone is trying to encourage us that we can get and be healthy–myself included.

Dr. Oz and the amazing S-shaped poop
Dr. Oz and the amazing S-shaped poop. I know, right? Sounds like a story right out of child’s fairy tale,or better yet, an off-Broadway production.

    Elana Anthony

    I am a wife and mother blessed to have six daughters who fill my home with love and laughter. My passion is writing and teaching, but most especially inspiring people to live healthy lives in my faith-filled fitness classes. My dream is to have my own faith and fitness TV show where people from all the world collectively join together on our "temple" building project of enjoying optimal health. I am a certified group fitness instructor by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), and earned graduate degrees in Writing from DePaul University, in addition to a degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from the California University of Pennsylvania. I have seen and experienced the hand of God work and move in my life, and consider it an honor and blessing to be saved to serve.
