A Little Help with Weight Loss

This post has been written as a review for Deborah's Collection. 

All opinions are mine and 100% accurate. I keep it real. ;)

Excited to tell you all about a neat new product that's assisting me in my weight loss efforts! Alongside my Weight Watchers routines, I'm also using this Green Coffee Bean Slimming Gel from Deborah's Collection.

This is the first weight loss post to date. Crazy intimidating...I'm all about paint and fabric and projects. Showing all of me...not so much. BUT, I really want to share my weight loss journey with all of you sweet friends in the hopes that if you struggle in this area as well, you may find some inspiration, tips and ideas to incorporate into your own life. We're in it together!

I go through the same thing every year. 
As summer draws to an end, I can't wait until fall.
