Lost a bit this week. Yay!

  • Hydroxycut products recalled. I’m not a fan of weight loss medication/supplements. Too many cause serious health issues http://bit.ly/Yrtgx #
  • If you are trying to lose weight, never get a turkey leg at a festival/fair . They average around 1100 cals! HOLY SHIT! http://bit.ly/WGIlo #
