    It's all good- I've heard of lilitz! I started Saturday- so we are newbies at the same time- good luck- how's it going for you so far/? I love it!

    Ontario- I love Ontario- I was there once and a few of my favorite people live there.

    Sure it counts if your mom grew up in Philly- where are you from? I am glad to be loved too :)

    meshellmybell- Very close- I had some college friends who grew up there! and I lived there for a bit too!

    Goalseeker- we have 2 things in common- I work with older adults too- but as a social worker. Plus, I am also a huge beachbody fanatic- I love chalene johnson's workouts the best, I have Tony's 10 min trainer but still too chicken for P90X!
