Weight Loss is a journey for everyone, we all get there a little differently. Sure its cliche, but it’s the truth. Whether you get bariatric surgery, do keto, paleo, or low carb we are all seeking a target goal of weight loss, BMI, or better health right? Check my favorite 37 products that make losing weight easier at home.

Great list! I love my Instant Pot, treadmill and so many other things on this list. A word of caution on the Nike Structures (which I love and own as well). These are shoes designed to help with mild to moderate protonation of the foot while running and if you don’t have a tendency for your feet to roll inwards a little bit while you walk or run, they might not be the right shoes for you. A more neutral shoe like the Nike Pegasus would be a better option as proper foot alignment protects your knees.
Great list and very handy !
I definitely need the kitchen scale! Thanks for sharing!
Just the list I needed! Thank you for putting together this post!
