My transformation w/pics (168 lbs gone)
I thought I would share with you my story of a lifestyle change/makeover. If you have spent any time on these kinds of sites you have read your share of stories and it becomes sort of cliché or redundant but the simple truth is, the recipe for success is pretty cut and dry and works every time its tried if a person is…

I now have battle ropes!
I have been searching for battle/fitness ropes for several weeks now. I plan to add these to the days I don’t lift. The ropes are pretty pricey. I was looking for 2 inch diameter by 50 foot long ropes and wanted 2 of them (one for each arm). Locally that would have cost $376 but I could only find 1 ½ diameter ropes. Online…

Diabetes NSV
One year ago today a diabetes screening truck came to work and offered free diabetes tests.

I just left the…

He then told her she needed a partial knee replacement. On Nov 1 he cut into her again and replaced the fail knee parts with metal and plastic.…

Who is actually using chia seeds?
The reduction in hunger pangs because you feel full longer sounds like a plus as well as the omega 3 benefits. Who is using the seeds on a regualr basis and where do you get them and at what price?
