Weight loss competitions... Thoughts?
Have any of you participated in a weight loss competition for a prize? Like a Biggest Loser-esque thing where the person with the highest percentage weight loss wins a prize?

Has anyone tried Alli?

I know, good things don't come easy... but since…

31 pounds down, 25- 40 more to go before my wedding!
Hello all! My name's Sara and I'm 23 years old. I've never been thin, but I have looked athletic/smaller/healthy at one point, I think I was about 15 or 16 when that was! So anyways, the weight crept on moreso through high school slowly, and through college and after that too lol. I finally turned it around in July 2010 (1…
