Question from Vicki U.: Hi Rick, I have a question re: Facebook Reporting.
I was wondering if you could clear up a big disagreement between two of my friends?

Question from Darla: I hope you can help me, Rick.
I gained some weight over the last few years, and it’s really starting to affect my health.

That really does help a lot, but now I have a problem.
