I live in Minnesota so I don't get outside until spring. The wind chill can get to -30*, the nearest town is 8 miles away. I have 6 kids and 3 grandchildren, a great husband that supports me no matter what. Now i would like to lose 35-40 lbs. I've been reading the book The 4 Day Diet By: Ian K. Smith, M.D. Don't realy know what diet to be on so I'll start here.
