    Nutrisystem...

    Hi Carrie, My H has lost 50 lbs since April on nutrisystem. If you follow the plan, it works and makes you make healthier food choices. The food that they provide does not taste very good but the plan works once you realize that you won't be enjoying your meals very much! lisa

    fat personal trainer

    Hi Mari, Very interesting comments! Maybe he should have addressed his less than fit persona to us, explaining why he was out of shape.. He did mention that he had lost 80 lbs. at one time so he has definitely struggled with weight. But his lack of fitness was the big elephant in the room...

    fat personal trainer

    I took my son to a personal trainer who I read an article about in the newspaper. He has all of these certifications and had some good advice. My son has lost 50 lbs. and looks fantastic. My son is only 8% body fat and just needed a little guidance re: cardio and weights. The trainer was nice...

    Ok - Puzzle mat floor users

    I love them too! Bought them at Costco a few years ago. I bought a cheap carpet remnant, put that on my cement floor in the basement and then laid the mats over that. Works great!! Lisa
