Treadmill Shopping
Those of you that use treadmills - what brand do you use? How do you like it? What kinds of features does it have? My belt was slipping BAD today and I think it's time to send it to the big gym in the sky.

Rewards for progress?
Just wondering what kind of rewards you all give yourself for progress? Besides the obvious, wearing smaller clothes, better health etc. I made a deal with my husband that for every 10 pounds I lose he will buy me a new charm for my Pandora bracelet. At 50 and 100 pounds I get a new tattoo. I have always rewarded myself…
