5 Tips & Tricks To Stick With Your 1200 Calorie Diet

There is a paid link in this article.  When I originally committed to a 1200 calorie diet a couple of years ago, I lost 25 pounds.

The Secret world Of Alex Mack ~ Complete Series {Now Available!}

Okay, I'm a bit sentimental when it comes to things from my childhood.  While I never had a blanket, I did have a small stuffed monkey that my Godfather had given me and I still have it at my parents house.  Then, every once in awhile, I crank up Pandora and put on a bunch of favorites from my teen years.  I love reminiscing and thinking about where I remember listening to the songs.  The year that Achy Breaky Heart was big, I remember strolling through a big fair in North Dakota and hearing Read more [...]
