Okay, I'm ready to make a serious effort here. I have been having trouble with constipation, and I'll leave it at that.

Fitness DVD Suggestions

Does anyone here fast?
I read the e-book "Eat, Stop, Eat" and began fasting 1-2 times per week for 24 hours. I like to use it to keep my calories in check, and also, balance them out for the week. I have seen solid results. Anyone else do this?
