Why You Should be Nice to your 'Before' Body (article)
i Village Virginia Sole-Smith ON Apr 26, 2011 at 11:15AM It's great to feel good about that "After" photo -- but don't forget where you came from Back in January, I decided to lose 20 pounds purely for aesthetic reasons.

Kickboxing Vid, easy on the knees?
