First off, I think it's great that you have joined MFP. That's the first big step forward. We have ALL either been there or have done that. All of us are or have been in the same boat.

WOW TRICKYFOXSTER710!!! You look to be doing absolutely fabulous~~~Keep going with the P90. I started with that when I decided to make a change back in 2007. When you're finished with your 90 days, go on to the P90 3-4. You will be absolutely amazed at the changes your body is making and how GREAT you feel and look. (even…
