  • **Thats awesome that you walk to work. If I worked closer and the weather cooperated all the time I would but I live in MN so I hate the winter, no fun walking then! lol I just might have to go get me one of those to see how much I walked by then! Thanks for the idea. =)

If there isn't one out, ask for one or bring your own. This will help you stay on track with the amount of food you put on it. You should be able to see the outside of the…

I confess...that it kills me everyday knowing my husband tells woman their beautiful but never tells me that I am. I…
