"I'm working towards reaching a healthy weight and have dropped 25 of my 75 excess pounds so far. The plate is immensely helpful as it keeps me honest and encouraged! Focus matters, as does intent. The plate is my ally in resetting my intention on my focus each time I see and/or use it." Leah Palki Be, Lakewood Colorado
