the type of woman I want my son to marry.’ I was truly flattered.”

Exercising has paid off

have been exercising every day for several years, so hearing that really
made my day!”–DONNA URBANIK, 41, SOUTH RIVER, N.J.
I walk with confidence

slouching even though I was taller than almost everyone in my class.

that I am.”–SHANNON REDDEN, 37, CARY, N.C.
