Hi there! Starting again with "The Power of Three" Plan
Hi there! I am staring myfitness pal up again after gaining 20 pounds back! This time I am starting with The Power of Three diet. I would love to hear from others who are doing it. I know a friend lost 30 pounds on it, and she loved it, but I could use some inspiration. Thanks!

Do runners get more face wrinkles??
Ive been doing a lot of research and have found several articles stating that people who run, especially long distance, get more face wrinkles.
