More to go
Posted by Joel Myhre on March 7, 2008
So while the contest is over, I still have some weight to lose. And even if I don't lose much more weight, I most certainly need to continue doing what I have been doing to maintain the weight I'm at. Read more and add a comment

Not just a river in Egypt
Posted by Joel Myhre on January 10, 2008

Of the four levels, I was in range on the two levels of good cholesterol, and out of range on the high cholesterol levels. Read more and add a comment
