Fitness buff

In June 2017, Joyce posted this photos of herself with a caption that talks about her health journey. She wrote: "...The pictures reflect my 3 weeks of progress and to see the changes since have been amazing. Not only has my body physically changed but also my eating habits, mentality, and thought process. I've realized that it's not just about the number on the scale but how you feel. The difference in weight is only 5lbs but I can definitely see the changes. If you think that you can't change your habits YOU CAN, If you can't lose those last couple of lbs YOU CAN...sometimes you just need a little help, motivation, and encouragement. PM so we can start this health journey together!"
