How I did it
How to lose 20 pounds
It took me
60 days
It made me
Proud

How I did it: I struggle with my weight, but really wanted to lose just 20 pounds to help my energy level, sleep, attitude, and self-image. I also wanted to know that even though I have farther to go, I could do it. I significantly reduced my portions and added a little exercise to my routine - 45 minutes 2 to 3 times a week. In two months I was down 20 pounds! Read how I did it…

1 day

Excited

How I did it: Bratislava is a short, easy train ride from Vienna, Austria. I found information online and planned a day in Bratislava - walking around the city, eating local food, and enjoying a small taste of the culture. It was wonderful. Read how I did it…

visit Bratislava
I did it in 2007 19 months ago

I visited Bratislava briefly in Nov. 2007 and loved it. The remnants of Soviet influence mixed with changes that have been made to invite tourism make it a lovely, interesting destination. Do it! You’ll be glad you did.
