inspiration for Success
Hi, I'd like to introduce to you all my first baby, Olivier Jean (I'm a french Canadian). He was born this April 13th.

There was never a more wonderful feeling, than when my mother decided to jump on board, after my "selling" MFP as if I had some stock in it, and has already lost 15lbs.

The drier is no longer my enemy!
I've got the nutty routine down: I pack my gym bag at night, wake up at 5:30, pack my 8yr old's lunch, wake him up, get ready, drop him off at school head to the gym and work out for 1-1.5hrs, take a shower and off to work! So I packed my bag with a pair of jeans straight out of the drier (I'm not quite sure what I was…
