Most Commonly Asked Weight Loss Questions
When it comes successful weight loss, the message has always been the same, “Eat right, move more.” But sometimes it’s not what is said, it’s how it’s said. When people are ready to change, they will hear the message that inspires them to change. Nicki Over the years I find that the questions people ask…

Oprah Diets Again
I read it and I couldn’t believe it. I read it again, thinking for sure this is just another attempt by the media to harass Oprah Winfrey about her weight. But the deeper I dug, the more I had to say to myself, “Say it ain’t true!” But alas, Oprah is going on a diet………again.…
