    Gaining/maintaining weight? Slowing down metabolism?

    I take a class at the local JC, it's pretty inexpensive. You can also join a gym and a lot of them offer class in yoga free to their members. I get SUPER hungry when I swim...so no, I don't.

    Moving to LA: yay or nay?

    I am looking for something central, but not HUGELY congested, sort of suburby while still and still hip and so I can avoid getting on 101 as much possible! Does Burbank have vintage buildings? I have heard there are some great art deco buildings down there.
