The Ups and Downs of our RV weight loss journey

OK, it’s time to admit we have a weight problem. It’s not easy to share it publicly, but we’ve all been there. You try to be so good but darn it, those extra pounds just seem to sneak up on you so easily!

Sigh. Body weight, RV weight. The battle of the bulge never ends. Here’s our RV weight loss journey. Go grab a low calorie beverage and settle in – it’s a long story.
