I love to laugh and even find myself laughing when alone, thinking of a funny situation or something comedic a good friend of mine said. Heck, it is not uncommon to see me smiling or laughing when I'm walking my huge Golden Retriever named Tucker, who happens to be bigger than I am. He is well-trained, except for when it comes to little furry creatures like rabbits or squirrels. One time, I was standing in my front yard with Tucker and many of the neighborhood kids were hanging out, playing ball, skateboarding and just having fun. All of a sudden, a rabbit dashed across my lawn and before I knew it, I was laying on my back with arms and legs spread wide ... luckily the grass was soft! I laughed and laughed as all of the kids' eyes were upon me, in a rather uncompromising position, still holding onto Tucker's leash while he gazed longingly in the direction of the lucky rabbit that had disappeared! That laughter, it turns out, actually was helping rev my metabolism. Yes, laying there in my front lawn! Making light of the situation turned out to have more benefits than I could have ever imagined!

I figured it's about time to get you to lighten up too ... literally! Check out the photo gallery below for six reasons why laughter could help you melt away the pounds!
