I've been a sucker and bought into so many weight loss ideals. In the end it always comes back to the same old boring diet and exercise all in moderation, thing. What's the fun in that??? :D btw, thanks for stopping by my blog too. I am honored! hehehehe And you are influencing my writing too. I love your style.

There are only two gyms that have them at this point, and a research project is being done at ours by Ellington Dardon. I like them! You do them once a week, one set to failure.
