Good for you! Dogs always make it easier and more fun!

I lost some weight after getting my dog too. Dogs are the best and most loyal workout partners ever invented. I walked 45 minutes this morning before work in the heat just because my dog expects her morning walk.

Cool I should do that but I have serious problems. The morning and I don't get along!
Awesome results!

That is great wish I was online more to work on this on gather but still not moved yet so no internet yet.

Great article and I agree 100% that even walking for 1 hour a day can make an enormous difference. I’ve seen it in myself and members of my family where other forms of exercise have failed (too expensive or too demanding).
