Best shoes for walking in/on snow?
Hi Guys. I normally make excuses not to walk outside in winter because we always have snow on the roads. We don't get plowed enough for them to completely clear the roads like in town.

Have you become "Anti-Social" since you started?
I feel like I have become anti social. I am a very social person and before I got serious about this I never turned down an invite for anything.

Gotta lose two Nikki's :)
One of the girls in our church, 18, has been trying to support me with my new life style change (see I did not say diet! :) ) She is a sweet little thing who weighs 90 lbs.
