I don't quite get how you transformed from a tall black man to a much shorter white woman.

@Naptownbabi and @echmain, you all got jokes!! @ronrudd2 what in?

English with a minor in Spanish. She currently teaches in NYC.

Congratulations! I agree about small changes. Why does everyone try to overhaul their entire life (food, exercise, cooking etc) in one week. Then they are surprised that it's so hard and they can't keep it going. I recently found old food diaries from early on and i ate crap. Just less of it. I ate white rice, cheerios and other processed foods. I eventually started changing the foods (oatmeal/bulger and many more vegetables) along with portions, but I did it over many, many months. I started walking, sometimes taking the stairs at work or a short walk at lunchtime, then I was going to the gym 5 times a week to lift or do yoga..then I started running. It took me 5 years to get to my goal. But i never felt deprived.

Holy s***!

Awesome!
