Weight Loss Not Dependent on Grunting, Sweating
I’ve recently gotten back into the habit of going to the gym. I try for three times a week, but if I only make it twice, I don’t sweat it.

I asked a woman new to mentoring to tell me her daily routine when it came to food.

How to Navigate a Buffet Without Bursting a Button
I spent last weekend across the continent in Virginia Beach, Virginia, learning about Internet marketing.
You can eat well in Virginia Beach — too well, if you’re not careful. Because of its plentiful seafood, all-you-can-eat buffets are popular. That could spell a weight loss “ouch!”
