If You Came Into the New Year with Extra LBs

Part II: Wardrobe solutions to maintain a polished appearance

A peek at some of the items essential during your weight loss journey!

Part II (of II)

Here we are again to continue our conversation about those extra lbs that appeared last year and won’t go away. No worries – you are on a journey toward your ideal weight and, in the meantime, you still need to be comfortable and look confident for business (and, why not, personal too)!

Pound for pound, in terms of ratio of stretch-to-sucking-in, ALL of these items are money (get 20% off with your first purchase!): these
