  • Vicki, you sound very busy. Do you get enough rest? I have heard that if you don't get enough rest then that can cause weight gain. Just a thought. Of course, looking at your profile picture, you don't look overweight at all. You are beautiful! Love your haircut.
  • Hi, I am Valerie. My weakness is food and/or maybe wine. I have many different types of food that are a struggle for me but it is mostly in the evening that I have issues with.

  • Sounds like some good suggestions. I may try them next time around. I went to the grocery store yesterday and picked up some Newman's own creamy Caesar Dressing.
