Merlin and I both are tring to lose weight. I have to or the Dr. will put me on insulin shots. We have a grade school a block away. So we walk an hour a day . I also found that if you drink half of your body weight in Ounces in filtered water. it's incentive to get that last 10 lbs. off. Merlin has 15 lbs to go, and I have 30 . we all should keep each other informed of our progress . Pet talk weigh off.
