apple cider vinegar
I first became obsessed with learning more about the apple cider vinegar cleanse when Megan Fox (the actress) said that she does this to maintain her weight. I looked online and found the pros and cons of this cleanse. Ive always heard that you dont really need to cleanse the body, drinking plenty of water just does that,…

I worked my butt off today and I'm PROUD of it! Over 1200 - that's right, 1200 - calories burned from exercise! Whoo! But I can't fit them in my tummy to keep my weight loss consistent. I guess I'll just have to weigh less! Hehe.
