My 30 Day Shred Experience
My husband and I have completed a round of P90X and a round of Insanity. However, I’ve been getting more and more curious about other programs.

My reason for losing weight is my family, two years ago I got some test results that scared me and I thought I wouldn't live to see my son grow up.
