  • I love that you're doing Krav Maga too!!! What school do you go to? We were at Krav Maga Illinois pre- Aliyah and now teach level 1 classes at home.
  • This is pretty cool! OK... I would like to lose 10 lbs. by that time and fit into clothing I haven't been able to wear in awhile. I exercise like a crazy person but it's the food, and IBS, I have to manage. I wish that my better food choices automatically made the IBS better but that's not an excuse to eat the fridge. That…
