Design Ideas Requested! What do you think of a waterproof-photo arrangement on a fountain?
I'm currently working on what I call a photo-fountain to celebrate how far I've come in my fitness. Basically imagine waterproof posters propped up on a fountain like this one. I honestly can't tell based on my research whether or not a fountain has been dressed up with personal photos + other waterproof items (I think it…

45 and healthy by genetics only- Day 2 of Diet Plan! 😀
My parents cooked healthy and I'm like a trust fund child with the genetics. I don't eat fried foods much and never season with salt. I do eat late at night and have a vicious craving for doughy sweets, cookies, honey buns with the icing etc. When I focus I lose weight quickly but since my diet is tied to emotional eating,…

I lost almost 50 lbs and have managed to keep it off all…
