Use Your iPhone To Get In Shape And Lose Some Weight [Feature]
There are a ton of ways to get fit and lose weight. And there are even more stupid books and fad diets that may or may not help you to slim down and get healthier. But there are really only two things you need to do: eat less and do more.

Coca-Cola’s New App Will Let You Literally Buy The World A Coke
