You are listening to Weight Loss Made Real.

And this is episode 85.

I'm getting closer to 100 and I'm getting excited each time I say that number.

I'm your host, Master Weight Loss Coach, and author Cookie Rosenblum.

And part of the reason that the whole area of weight and eating and body is challenging is that there are so many voices out there.

And I know from working with hundreds of people through the years what works from my perspective. So I have my own beliefs but I'm not an expert in

every single thing so occasionally I bring people on the show to expose you to others opinions. But I want you to take what other people
