I’m a Winner & I Love It: DietBet Recap
In March, I started my first DietBet with FitFluential.

I got into the best shape I'd been in since high school, when I danced for hours every …
What’s your weakness?
Experts say you shouldn't skip meals because you are more likely to go overboard the next time you eat, overcompensating. I went directly from work to a charity event tonight, and didn't eat any of the passed apps, instead had 2 glasses of champagne. Not a huge deal, I hadn't eaten all my calories for …
