Wanna be friends?
Good morning all, I'm looking for friends. To help motivate and support and maybe make me laugh a little. I've been here before. Had some success, then I fell off. Well I'm back and ready to try again. I don't have too far to go, maybe 20-25 lbs. I enjoy fitness but sometimes it's hard to find the time (and energy) but…

So what do you say to yourself when you're ready to give in to the couch and tube when it's…

Thoughts on vitamins? Pros? Cons?
So I've always tried to take my vitamins, just a regular multi with a vitamin C kicker if I felt like I was getting sick. I remember my MD told me a couple years ago that you really don't need one if you're eating a good diet. You should try to get your vitamins from your food. While that's true, I'm not perfect at eating…
