- Has anyone tried the Acai berry juice in their weight loss plan? I purchased a bottle at the health food store today. I bought it for its high antioxident levels but when I researched it I found that it also aides in weight loss. Just curious if...
- Ok, I am finally going tomorrow for my first acupuncture appt. My hubby is soooo against it so I was hoping that those of you who have done it can post your experiences and maybe help me convince him that it is helpful. I am a little nervous because...
- I love this Wii fit!!! I bought it for the kids for Christmas and i use it more than they do! My 7yr old daughter woke up at 7am and caught me playing it and all she could say was "really mom, you are too old to act this way" OMG that stung a...

- Well, I had surgery yesterday to decompress my eyes. I am shocked by how little swelling and bruising I've had. The doc says it gets worse on day 3 and 4 so we will just have to wait and see. I sadly gained severe double vision from it though. Doc...

- Well, its been some time since I joined this group. I originally joined with a plan to quit right away but I chickened out. Here I am now on my 28th hour being smoke free. I am a very weak person with a strong addictive personality. I am forced to...
- Well, I am bummed... I saw my eye doc today to discuss my decompression surgery. I have been off steroids since april 8th and he told me then we would discuss surgery on my next appt. Well we did dicuss the surgery today but not the results I was...
