Embarking on a clean bulk... anyone want to join me??
Hi all!! So I've entered a new chapter in my body transformation challenge. I've lost the weight and as crazy as it sounds... it's time to put some weight back on... MUSCLE that is!

clip-on hair extensions???
If you have them... fill me in! I want to grow my hair out but I'm very impatient! I have no experience with them so I'm hoping someone here can enlighten me.

Staying on track while out of town...
Next week I'm flying up to D.C. to spend the week with my brother and his wife. She gave birth to a baby girl today and my mom and I are going for a visit! I am very concerned about being able to stay on track when I get there. We will be staying with them and I'll have less control over the foods available. I am thinking…
