Easy to fit around your day
I am currently on day 3 of the free version of the lose weight in 30 days app and I am seriously thinking of upgrading to the fee paying version, as a result of how impressed I am.

The free version allows access to a range of workouts planned over the course of 30 days. Workouts are also separated into target zones (e.g. abs, legs, full body). There is also a section for routines that include dietary ideas and facial exercises (for reducing that problematic double chin).

The videos and voice overs during the workout help support the user and exercises are easily accessible. The exercises themselves are simple in comparison to other apps, however I can feel them working my muscles without over straining them. For me this is perfect as I have had nearly a year away from exercising. Workouts are short, so can be easily used to fit around your busy day.

Workouts are recorded on a chart and rewarded with a cheerful sound. Notifications can also be sent to your phone to remind you to exercise - for me this is a big positive.

Overall I am over the moon with this find and can put up with the adverts, which are not overwhelming. The paid for version extends the workouts for 20 weeks, and promises to be more personalised.

FELT like the book
The cast was amazing
Details were there, but hinted at
I liked the movie as a whole. Not really "scary" more creepy. One thing though, this movie was much less like the book than the original movie... without any BIG spoilers...
Mild Book to Movie Spoilers:

Changes right off the bat include, obviously the time period, no fort building scene, Georgie's body wasn't found by the sewer, most of the ways the kids first meet IT, they don't say "beep beep Richie"... (aside from once)
There are much bigger changes I can't mention here.
SPOILER END...

All in all, I did really enjoy it! It definitely felt like the book. Better than the original in many ways. I'm looking forward to the second one!

Merry Kramer's co-worker is having a rough week. First, her husband vanishes. Then he's accused of stealing money from his work. Finally, a dead body shows up in her garage. Can Merry figure out what is going on? I love these characters, and the book drew me in even on a reread. However, I found the sub-plot about spousal abuse often became preachy and slowed down the book.
