  • Quote: Week 2 goal modified!

    I joined Jiliian Michaels site yesterday, as my motivation and fitness training has been waning(bad time of year for me), plus I have had some weight gain, so she has set up a fitness plan for me 5 days a week, with Sun and Wed off.
    OMG that's so awesome!!!! !


    Quote:
