In September 2023 I had signed up for the Gina Livy Fall Weight Loss Group. It's 13 weeks long. However, with all the problems I had after my eye surgeries I wasn't able to follow the program and only did the first three weeks. I contacted them in December and explained what happened and they agreed to remove me from the fall plan and moved me over to the Winter 2024 Group, with no penalty.
I don't really need to lose any more weight but I thought it would help me get back on track with healthy eating and start 2024 making nutritious choices. If I lost another five pounds or so, that would be a bonus.
