herbal weight loss supplements
Today I went to a crunchy health-food store and checked out several supposedly all-natural weight loss supplements. I was really dazed by all the choices. I don't want "diet pills" -- I'd like to take something natural that will just give me a little metabolic boost. Can anyone recommend an all-natural supplement that…

Hurricane Gustav is over
I joined this site last summer and had some short-term success. On Sept. 1, my home was destroyed by the storm and we spent a year fighting with our "insurer," rebuilding our home, and eating lots of fast food. I got a lot fatter.

my 9th grade P.E. teacher was right
this is way random, but i thought i would put it out there since it's been working for me: my 9th grade PE teacher--who's incidentally turned out to be quite the prophet since i was in 9th grade back in 1992--was really worried about "these kids today," which meant us. he worried that we all sat around "playing video games…

hello
hi all, i just wanted to introduce myself. i'm really just getting started on this latest fitness kick--though i'm hoping it ends up being more of a lifestyle change than another trend. i gained a bunch of weight after a second knee surgery when i was an undergraduate, and i'm hoping to start whittling away at it. i won't…
