I always think that somehow the universe is trying to tell me something. It keeps knocking on my door, but I get so engrossed in what I’m doing, that I often don’t even notice it’s there.
1. My doctor has been on my back for 3 years now to
a.) Decrease the “bad” fats in my diet
b.) Get more exercise
c.) Increase my fiber
2. I’m writing a series on “healthier me” and I KNOW that there are things that I would, should, could be doing to make the entire process a lot easier. I don’t need to go overboard, I just need to start by making small changes.
a.) Get more exercise (even if it’s 15 minutes at a time)
b.) Take in less calories, sugars & fats
c.) Get more fiber
3. Last Thursday I went to a WONDERFUL event that ended up with me having my body-fat analyzed (I’ll spare you the details) While I have NO INTENTIONS of going to this weight loss clinic (it’s too far, too expensive and not practical for me), I did take away 2 very important KEY learnings from my visit.
a.) If I’m craving sugar at night…have a spoonful of peanut butter to satisfy the craving & increase my protein
b.) Add more fiber to my diet.
Do you see a pattern here? Well, I’ve been ignoring it for some time, and when FiberChoice came knocking and asked me to partner with their fabulous new Fiber Supplements it was more like a knock on my head than a knock at the door.
AHA!!!
I LOVE the fact that FiberChoice allows me to choose the supplement that would fit BEST for my lifestyle and goals. As they have
- FiberChoice Weight Management – for helping to curb those cravings that I get every evening. It’s got chromium picolinate and green tea flavor to help me not only feel FULL, but it also helps to promote fat metabolism (as long as I’m sticking with a healthy eating plan along with it).
- FiberChoice plus Calcium+D – as women it’s so important to increase our calcium intake and even MORE so when we hit MY AGE!!! So, I can not only feel full when I use this, but I get the added boost of calcium absorption (yeah, the doctor will probably be pretty happy about that one as well).
- FiberChoice – This formula is an all around product that provides 2 grams of fiber per tablet, with 2 tablets per serving. This comes in sugar free and regular with your choice of flavors like Orange Medley, Green Apple, Grape, and Strawberry)
My prior experience with fiber products has not been so good. I always found them to be difficult to use – mixing in water, drinking a LOT, awful flavor, etc. That’s probably why I seemed to have my fingers in my ears when the universe was telling me to increase my intake. FiberChoice is not only EASY to incorporate, but it actually TASTES LIKE A TREAT. I just popped one of the Sugar Free Strawberry Weight Management tablets into my mouth and immediately thought…YUM, strawberries and cream. Who knew that a fiber product could actually TASTE GOOD? Plus, there’s NO WATER REQUIRED.
Personally, if it’s not easy and enjoyable, I tend to do it for a while and then just let it s-l-i-d-e, but FiberChoice is PERFECT for incorporating into my busy lifestyle. With 2011 in FULL SWING and my healthier me program off to a good solid start, I’m excited to have FiberChoice on my team. Of course, lifestyle changes don’t need to be ALL about diet and exercise.
Remember that taking some time for yourself, rejuvenating and relaxing, and doing something that you TRULY enjoy is JUST as important to a healthy lifestyle.
I’m a beach girl. I’m past the lay in the sun days that have totally ruined my skin. BUT, I find that I can totally de-stress, forget about any problems, and just RELAX listening to the waves. My favorite time of day is to get there just after the beach-goers have left (around 4:00 pm). I take my sand chair, a great book and just sit at the water’s edge with the small rippling waves hitting my feet, listen to the seagulls as they scavenge the beach for any food left behind by the families who have just left, smell the salt air and forget about EVERYTHING.
It really is about both getting physically healthier and making certain that your life has balance to it. With FiberChoice on my side, it will make it a lot easier. While I’ve told you how it’s working for me, for more DETAILS about Fiber Choice fiber supplement products, you can follow them on Twitter. I just noticed that they have a COUPON and SAMPLE available on their site right now, so you can save money and get started along with me.

I try to always eat a salad every day, only eat dessert 1-2 times a week (and when I do eat dessert it’s always healthy/organic) eat lots of fresh/organic fruits and veggies. And I try to bike/run for at least a hour a day.
Thanks! 🙂
Jerrilynn Atherton says
I walk whenever and wherever I can. I park far away from the store doors to increase my steps. I try to eat fruit daily.

I cut out a lot of fats from my diet ex: use balsamic vinegar instead of salad dressing on salads, mustard instead of mayo etc… I could really use some workout DVDs to get me motivated. That’s what I would use the gift card for.

Kate @ The Shopping Mama says
The most important little thing I try to do is WALK. Now that the weather is nicer it’s easier to walk every day. But, this money would be so helpful to join a new gym when we move in two months. I love having a routine and having a healthy component of working is important to me – and my body!
Louise Brouillette says
I’ve been running 2 miles, and winning this would help me achieve my goal of staying healthy.

I drink a lot of water.

I am trying to drink more water. I am also terrible at taking vitamins but found vitamins that are gummies that have all the extra vitamins I need including Calcium, B, and Omega 3. I am taking those every day now. I am also trying to eat better and walking whenever possible. I need to keep up with 6 grandbabies!
lori says
since being diagnosed with RSD and MS i try my hardest to eat more healthier. to help out i take three different vitamins. Vitamin D, Vitamin B complex and a multi vitamin daily. Water, Water and more Water i drink each. i’m really into smoothies now, when ever i get a chance i get one from McDonalds the Wild berry one yummers, 😀 .. salads, carrots, apples, watermelon, or low calorie snacks is what i eat more off now.. sometimes i slip and eat chocolate, but that’s a hard thing to give up.
i use to walk a lot before getting RSD and MS, but can’t anymore, so exercising is hard for me to do,that’s why i try my hardest to eat more healthier.
Champagne Living says
Eating 2 apples a day. Eating a salad at least once a day and making myself walk even on rainy days and when I don’t fell well. I would love to win so I can get my bloodpressure down and keep continuing to be motivated and live a healthier life.

Shasta says
We just realized this weekend that our son is overweight (he’s 7). It’s so hard to think of your child in this way, but we have to be honest or it could coat him his health. We have decided that we have to make changes now or he could suffer health issues for the rest of his life. While we cannot control what he does when he grows up, we are responsibility for him now. So this is what we are doing:
– Each of us will walk/run a mile each day.
– We will buy bike seats for the babies and go on long bike rides each weekend
– We are cutting out the bad snacks (cookies, cakes) and replacing them with fresh fruits and veggies
– We are only eating out once a month from now on
– We are playing more together as a family (we got a pool and plan to use it often)
We are NOT putting our son on a diet, but instead changing our whole family’s lifestyle!
miriam says
I try to walk as much as i can, however i have a very bad back so i have to stop often. Winning would allow me to get a treadmill of some kind that i can use to walk at home so if i have to stop i can rest on a chair and not the street.
Sunshyn V says
I walk daily and stay far away from high fructose corn syrup.

Nancy Ferrell says
Everyone is trying to eat healthier and exercising just as I am. I also take the vitamins my doctor suggested, and keep my check ups every 3 months. My husband works long hours so he can’t get to the gym anymore. We were advised to get a treadmill so we could use it in any free time he had. The doctor said I should use it too, so I would use the money towards the purchase of the treadmill. With a treadmill in the house there would be no excuses to not exercise. Thank you for your consideration.
Adrienne Gordon says
I sign up for runs and triathlons to help keep me on target for exercise. I’d use the money to pay for the entry fees.
Jennifer H says
I just got a bike that I plan on using for exercise as well as time with my kids. Now I haven’t ridden a bike in 15 years so the trial run was embarrassing. You certainly don’t forget but that doesn’t mean you still cannot fall off.
Colleen Schilinski says
I take a walk everyday with my dog and take a bag with me to pick up all the garbage laying around. So far I’ve filled my garbage can up two times, all the while getting exercise from all the bending and walking. If I win I can get one of those grabbers and a pair of decent walking shoes. So far I have lost 16 pounds, with many more to go.
Nancy S says
I keep baggies of raw veggies in my fridge ready for a snack or light lunch. On a recent roadtrip I munched on carrots and celery as I drove rather than the usual chips and junk.
Patricia says
My goal is to utilize more fruits and veggies in my diet. Winning would help because I need a composter. We are slowly putting in a home orchard to have fresh fruit that is organically healthy.
Trisha Jackson says
I have been practicing portion control and getting more fruits and veggies for those times I want a snack. I like to walk and have recently begun running the dog across the street and back when I take him out. I like to do toe raises when I am standing around idle and tightening my core muscles practicing good posture. I also really like sitting at my desk on my core balance ball and I move around on it working those muscles. I have also found that I can stretch my lower back rolling backward on the balance ball when I feel it going out…it works wonders, I love it!!!
If I were to win I would use the money towards a gym membership and hopefully a treadmill for home as I live in a rainy region and sometimes don’t get out to walk as often as I would like.
Clint Sprague says
I would love to win because I am new to taking fiber every day for high cholesterol. I am open to trying any method in order to find the easiest and most efficient way to take it.
Margaret Smith says
I’ve been really trying to eat healthier. I’ve stopped buying sweets and instead am now keeping fresh fruit and veggies in the house.
If I won this prize, I would use the money to get a really good pair of walking shoes. We just started walking daily and the shoes that I have aren’t the best.
Thanks so much.

Giant Sis says
I’ve started taking salads and fresh fruits for lunch. It really helps me have more energy – and I enjoy it much more than the frozen meals I was taking. Winning would help me afford these healthier foods – they do cost more than pre-packaged, preservative-filled foods. But I did read somewhere that paying more for better foods now can help reduce the money I have to spend later in health care to make up for poor choices!
Barbara M says
I’m doing my cardio workouts again and increasing the fiber in my diet.
With the gift card I buy more fresh fruits and veggies!
Thank you for this opportunity!

Was going to get back in shape right before my cancer diagnosis (already too heavy and had just decided to join a gym) but none of that happened – on to surgery, cancer treatments, isolation, loss of metabolism – ugh! Need to be healthy now more than ever! Would use this money to find a nutrition plan and purchase a start-up program of some kind.
Nicole L. says
First and foremost, I have made a commitment to my health. I have given up soda. I drink more water, I exercise more, and I eat much healthier.

I drink alot more water now, instead of soda. And I took the candy out of my bedside table and replaced it with FIberchoice fruit flavored tablets.

I’m working on drinking more water and really cutting down on greasy foods. We are extremely busy this time of year so it’s hard to eat the right foods since we are always on the go. We are trying to eat more salads and less fried foods. We are also spending as much time outdoos as possible.

Besides getting on the treadmill for 45 minutes a day and walking 4-5 miles a day, I am planting a veggie garden, I tend to eat more veggies if they are fresh and I grew them for some reason. This would help me by allowing me to get the rest of the plants and accessories I need for my garden.
Russell Day says
I am trying to walk more, drink more water, and try to do some core muscle exercises.
Kathy Dunaway says
I am trying to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and to walk more. I know that I need to do more and am working on that. If I win I would use the gift card to buy more fresh fruit and veggies:) I might buy some more plants for my garden.I love growing my own food.Thanks for the giveaway:)

Heather McDonough says
I’ve been trying to drink more water and take my vitamins every day.
Donna T. says
I try to keep up with my yardwork, which helps me get more exercise. Also, last week, when low on gas, I decided to park 3 blocks from the post office and walk to mail a letter. It saved gas and kept me from tangling with one-way streets. Anothert thing – we’re trying to seriously cut the amount of sugar in our sweet tea pitchers – like 75 percent.
Jo Ann Simko says
My son has to take fiber and I have to take it off and on so I might as well take it all the time now, I received a sample of the new Fiber Choice and it tastes great! I”m trying to cut down on sweets in our home and include more fruits. We play outside when we can and get some exercise. The gift card would help make our grocery bills a little less painful for a little while. Thanks for running this giveaway.
Isabel Menendez says

donna gonzalez says
i eat gluten free and low carb as much as possible- high fiber and proteins, to keep me full and give me energy- winning this would be super fantastic, because not only are the items somewhat pricey- but i live in a very small town, and end up having to order stuff online.
Jessica Garrison Wegner says
Always own high a energy dog, they require daily work outs, it’s better than living with your own personal trainer – LOL
Susan Morris says
Some of the healthier choices I have been making are parking farther away from the stores when shopping so I will walk more. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. I have been following the Weight Watchers program online and they always urge more fiber in my diet. I add extra veggies and fruits daily, but sometimes need a little extra fiber. If I should win, I would join the new fitness club that recently opened near me. I could really use some toning up and body strength!

James Nickerson says
This year I’m going to up my fiber with Fiber Choice as well. I’ve used it in the past the surprised how nice the taste is. I’ll also plan on jogging more to keep my weight off now that I’m over 50.
Stephanie Wagner says
I take time at least once a week with friends to go out and enjoy. It takes my mind off of work and school and allows me some time to forget how jam packed my life is. That night of having fun, just makes the entire week go so much smoother. I’m trying to lose weight as well…thanks for the tips.
Kim says
I make sure I don’t grocery shop hungry so I don’t buy alot of tasty junk. I started taking fish oil&probiotics, and I add wheat germ to my yogurts&applesauces. The weather is finally warming up here in NY so I’ve been walking more,and just had a bone density test and a full blood screening for ‘the works’. Exercise & Pepperidge Farm are my biggest obstacles to face! 🙂 barkergirl33@yahoo.com

I try to exercise at least 30 minutes a day, eat more veggies and salads, get 2 to 3 servings of fruits a day, and lots of fiber.

I also drink at least 64 ounces of water every day and limit diet soft drinks to one a week.
Elaine Okupski says

One small choice I made recently was to replace the sour cream I use in recipies with fat free yogurt (homemade). It has saved me tons of calories and it’s just as delicious…no one in the family has noticed the switch.
Lori H. says
I incorporate veggies into nearly every meal. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, so I’ve made some serious changes to my diet. This GC will just help me along that path to good health

Suzanne K says
Some of my small choices to get healthier:
1 – I’m making myself eat breakfast (shredded wheat cereal)… then I’m in a better place to make better eating decisions the rest of the day
2 – I’m planting a bigger veggie garden – good exercise AND if I have lots of fresh veggies in my own garden I won’t go spend money on not so great foods
Erica C. says
I’ve been trying to eat better foods. Winning would help me afford trying new things.
Nancy M says
i do qi gong or aerobics (almost) every day

Kelly says
I try to keep fruit around for those sweet cravings. If I MUST have chocolate, I have a small glass of chocolate almond milk. For my savory cravings, I choose veggies and homemade dip (made with greek yogurt and spices). Gotta shop from the store perimeter as much as possible! Winning the $200 would help me be able to buy healthier foods every week for a couple of months. 🙂
Barbara Fox says
I am trying to watch my portions & walk 30 minutes a day.
pdenuyl says
The dog forced me to walk. Now I make him because I can see the difference just 30 min. every day of regular walking makes in my muscle tone.
Heather S says
I try to have raw veggies and fruit ready in the fridge to snack on to help me eat better. I do not get enough fiber in my diet so winning this would help me try fiber choice (and hopefully I would like it) and make better choices.
Dara Nix says
I have already started walking a few days a week, but need a little more motivation to start doing it every day with NO excuses! $200 for a new spring/summer wardrobe would be a HUGE motivator for me!

Roxanne Ellis Raymond says
I get up a little earlier to get on the Wii every morning, it has made a huge difference to me and my day
Daniel M says
doing more yardwork and avoiding sugar

My suggestion is to get up with every commercial and do something. There are a plethora of sites that give exercises. Do one during each commercial? I would get myself a new exercise ball and some new hand weights if I won.

I’ll use the prize to get more organic veggies at the farmer’s market.
Thanks for the contest.
CATHY TRUMAN says
I take long walks every day with dog KC she loves it and it is so good
for both of us. I drink more water every day and I am eating more fresh
fruit and veggies.
Debbie R says
I love these two simple ideas since evenings are hard to overcome.
a.) If I’m craving sugar at night…have a spoonful of peanut butter to satisfy the craving & increase my protein
b.) Add more fiber to my diet.
Two little baby steps that I will try along with more exercise in the evening. Even if it is just 15 minutes that is a good place to start.
Thank you
Kelly says
The small choice I make for better health is drinking lots of water every day!
Kristen says
I’ve cut out red meat from my diet, and switched to drinking diet soda instead of regular. This was actually my resolution, and i’ve lost about 15 pounds already!

I am adding more fruits and veggies (and therefore fiber) to my diet. (Sounds like your Dr and mine are the same person…or maybe it’s because I am also one of those who doesn’t do it if it’s not easy!)
Kyl Neusch says
work out daily
eat organic foods
Aimee Cooper says
To keep healthier I try to keep my serving sizes down to be accurate with the food pyramid standards. We live in a world that is so over the top with food, we forget how little actual real serving sizes are, so I try to realize that everytime I eat and at first it feels like you are eating like a bird but over time it gets easier. My goal is to always follow serving sizes.
Aimee Cooper says
and taking Fiber Choice helps in controling serving size.
Natalie J. Vandenberghe says

Misty Thomas says
I have done alot of small things in the past year for myself and my 12 year old daughter to become healthier. We switched to skim milk, eat whole grain bread, I stopped buying potatoe chips for my daughter, I had already cut out frying foods years ago due to my diabetes and high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I either bake, broil, or grill meats. My 12 year old daughter has inherited high cholesterol from me, so I have been trying new things this year. I personally, have been trying to ween myself off of diet Mt. Dew, I started by adding a little water to my cup of Dew, eventually, hopefully, it will be all water. Wish me luck!!
Pamela Bondurant says
I am a breast cancer survivor. Although I have already lost over 50 lbs., my wants me to lose about 50 more.

We juice fresh vegetables and fruit everyday…as well as eating bananas, oranges, red peppers, salads, etc… everyday.

Debbie C says
I want to start walking more for a better, healthier me. I have a problem, a big problem finding proper, supportive and comfortable walking shoes. I have a closet of expensive, useless and unused shoes for walking, but I’ll keep looking.
I also want to try raw food juicing. I am growing a few of my own vegetables, mostly tomatoes and I would love to try juicing those I don’t eat in salads. Juicing would be a good way to get veggie nutrients, since I like so few “good for you” veggies.

Jill L says
I have finally decided to do something about my weight. I want to be around for a long time for my kids so I dusted off the treadmill and have started walking/jogging every day. I have also added salad to every dinner. Before, salad was a once a week kind of thing. I make sure the salad is the biggest thing on the plate. Winning this would really help me kick start my healthy living program. Would love to buy myself a couple of nice workout outfits to help make myself feel good and a new pair of jogging shoes. Of course, could use it to help pay for all the fresh fruits and veggies that I am now eating too.
Ellie W says
I don’t eat sweets at all and I go for a walk everyday. I need to drink more water and I know I don’t get enough fiber in my diet. I need to start eating more fruits and veggies, so I’d use the GC to get some healthier groceries.

More fruits and veggies are a MUST
Aisling says
Having a set exercise time works best for me since I tend to “forget” it if it’s not on the schedule. Have been drinking more water, eating more fruit and incorporating more vegetables into meals. Getting a good night’s sleep is also an important health factor.
Aisling says
Sorry! This is a dupe of my previous post since I didn’t say how winning would help achieve my goals. Having a set exercise time works best for me since I tend to “forget” it if it’s not on the schedule. Have been drinking more water, eating more fruit and incorporating more vegetables into meals. Getting a good night’s sleep is also an important health factor. If I won, I’d buy some cute exercise clothes that would make my workouts more fun.
JANY says
Trader Joe’s offers healthy snacks at reasonable prices that I keep for office munchies.

Great contest, thanks for the chance to win.
karen b says
I have been trying to eat healthier, by cutting down my portions and eating more ground turkey. I have found that if you cook the turkey in a patti form and cook, when almost done, add low fat mozarella cheese and salsa, then let simmer so the flavor absorbs, it is absolutely delicious. Thanks for the giveaway

Ceinwyn says
Yay, thanks Fiber Choice! I have to say, those things are the reason my tummy made it through pregnancy. Ugg.

I have actually been using Fiber Choice. It’s so much better than the mix-with-water “sludge” stuff.

Even when I want to reach for the chips, bread, or pizza slice, I mentally tell myself the healthier choice is what I need right now to reach my weight loss and overall health goals; and then I eat accordingly. So far, so good. I’m really psyched about the great choices I’ve been making.

Geoff K says
Just making small changes like eating brown rice and whole wheat pasta and bread, switching out the chips for nuts and trail mix, and drinking as much water as I can stand with and between meals, has made a huge difference. The gift card would take me to the next level so I can invest in some new free weights and supplements to kickstart my workout and improve my fitness even more. Thanks!
Katherine Dunn says
I have lost 50lbs over the last year from exercising and cutting out sugar/carbs. If I win, it will help me buy healthy foods and a stop watch.

MelissaO says
In addition to working out 3 to 4 times a week, I am now walking to work, walking to the gym, and then home. Since I’m getting stronger, I’m also trying to lay off the wine at night while I’m cooking dinner. That’s harder than adding on all the exercise!

Debra F says
Right now, I’m transitioning my entire family from white breads and pastas to whole grains. It’s hard with little kids because they are used to and love their white bread and spaghetti, but we went to half and half and pretty soon I’m going to all whole grain products. We certainly will benefit from more fiber and less simple carbs. Healthy foods tend to cost more, so winning would really help with the grocery bill…thanks for the chance.
Jaque R. says
I try to get a bit of exercise daily, drink a lot of water and I am a salad freak…love salads. I am adding more fiber to my diet and take a daily vitamin. 🙂 Winning would help me by allowing me to purchase Fiber One products, in bulk, and eat healthier. Thank you.
Deborah Carter says
I would take my winning money to a health food store and load up on some good healthy stuff that I usually can’t afford. I rescue cats and spend most of my money on them! I have drastically cut down on my soda intake and eat a lot of blueberries and other good fruits mixed with yogurt instead of eating a lot of candy (my weakness!).
Barbara says
I choose to walk when I have errands that are close enough. A win would let me buy some good shoes to walk in during the winter cold, slush, and snow.

Kelly L says
I am walking and cutting out soda, along with taking Vitamin D supplement along with my other vitamins. Thanks!
pat says
I would like win this one!
Barbara Long says
I have switched to whole grain products, fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins such as chicken breast to be healthier. This gift card would help me because healthier foods unfortunately tend to cost more and this would give me extra funds to be able to buy more healthy items.

Christal Couturier says
I’m trying to get to the gym more often. This would help pay for that. I do need some healthier items in my cabinet as well
brian e. says
Thanks for the giveaway…we do not use any salt in the kitchen, nor do we use butter anymore in cooking…instead we use various herbs/spices & olive oil. My wife & I swim laps, run, or walk together 3-4X each week for fitness.
Would use the gift card toward a bicycle to take advantage of local bike trails !

I eat lots of veggies and whole grains, this would help me buy more good food
momznite says
I’m trying to shift to all organic foods, but it is costly and this would help.

Auriette says
I read the labels on everything, and I try to make choices that are a little bit healthier. I look for bread, for example, that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup. I’ll compare similar products and try to find the one that has the most natural ingredients or at least the fewest ingredients overall.
This win would help me by allowing me to pay a little bit more for “the good stuff,” at least for a little while. I think this would help me and my husband to lose weight and be healthier.
Lisa Weidknecht says
I started drinking diet colas over regular colas. I started walking the dog daily. I stopped eating such large portions. All this is helping me lose weight and become healthier. The gift card would allow me to purchase some excellent walking shoes so I could walk healthier!
Roxann says
I try to make better choices by eating healthier. I am diabetic and this would help me to purchase groceries intended just for me and not my whole family.
Betty C says
I’ve been trying to revamp my eating habits but haven’t had a lot of success. However just this week I had a short bout of illness and had no appetite for almost 3 days. I decided this is the time to really put my intentions to work. I had several small meals throughout the day but didn’t give in to my usual snacks. Instead I had extra fruit and yogurt. I’ve also been told that regular coffee makes the body retain water so I’ve been coffee-free for 4 days.
I rarely use salt and salads are a regular part of my diet so I guess I’m not doing too bad.
Steve W. says
Eating more fruits and veggies.
Mary J. says
Ihave cut back on soda consumption and drinking more water.I also by fresh vegetables and fruits from the local farmer’s market.

anissa mattison says
I walk 3-4 miles a day. The money will help me buy a bike to also exercise with.
Kathy C says
I started walking to the high school, two miles away, to do my volunteer shift at the after school snack stand. And to the bank, 1 mile away, to deposit the marching band’s money from fundraisers, as I’m the Treasurer. And, let’s not forget the walk to Rite-Aid for precriptions. Feels great!
Sylvia bengisoy says
I try to add foods that are rich in quercetin, rutin, and hesperidin to reduce inflammation. The $200 gift card would go to getting my brother a netbook. He has been my main support since my mom died a year ago.
pat says
I try to eat a very healthy and well balance meal everyday. I exercise, walk and drink alot of water. Also, I included FiberChoice in my diet. The $200.00 gift card would be very helpful to me and I will be able to improve on my food supply. It would be a bless for me to recieve this prize and I’m hoping and praying that I’m one of the lucky winners.
Vicky says
I’m sure this would be a good thing to add to my diet.
connie black says
I try to eat better by eating more fruits and veggies, however, with the cost of food it makes it tough. This would def. help.
Vicky says
this would help me to eat better and lose weight.
