Good job on this.Lent disciples are so hard to keep. I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from your work.
Good info. Just read you Weight Watchers article but couldn't comment, but I wanted to tell you, you are doing great.
good report, Diane!
good article but these sandwiches are not healthy choices, mcdonald's filet of fish only gets a D+ rating, there is more fat in the sandwhich than there is protein which you need for good health
Mmmm sounds yummy right now. I like local fried Alaskan halibut burgers more, though. Helpful article!
