Awesome, way to go Duane !! My daughter lost about 80 pounds with WW, karate, and the gym. (Age 16-17 at the time.) Has kept it off. Turned her life around.
Wife and I aren't overeating right now, we're under-exercising. Gotta make the workouts a higher priority... -Ben >From: "Duane Boudreau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: CF-Community <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: Weight Watchers (was: RE: Adkins) >Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2002 12:17:33 -0500 > >I've been doing WW since last Thanksgiving.
