Not a diet exercise question, but I need help!
My Dad passed away Saturday morning and the funeral was Tuesday. It was a law enforcement ceremony and he would have loved it. But my question is, my mom is 83 and is now home alone. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other monitors like Life Alert. I want to check into all the different companies. Life Alert is kind of…

Curves And MFP = Success
:happy: Today was my regular weigh in at Curves. I have been there since March 28 of this year. I didn't have very high hopes of losing weight when I joined because nothing had ever worked before, including a VERY brief membership at Curves 8 years ago. But I was desperate, and I couldn't think of any other options and I…
