Atkins
I know a lot of people don't agree with Atkins but honestly, it is the only thing that has ever worked for me. Recently, I tried the 'old fashioned' way of going on a diet.. calorie counting, working out, ect... and yes, it did work, for a while.

MUSIC!
I find music helps me through my time at the gym. I was wondering...what do other people listen to? I would like to update my playlist and I do find songs from time to time that seem to fall into my 'workout' section.. but I could always use help in finding what inspires others to push themselves to get that extra mile in.…
