  • Honestly, if you're a little fixated on the scale, try following the NSV thread under the Success Stories board. Sometimes that's exactly what I need to remind me about all the other changes happening in my body.

Granted, a lot of the language is geared toward women but the…
  • If you decide to take it, make sure you research what you buy - fish oil is highly perishable and a lot of it comes on to the market already rancid - which isn't going to help anything.
