Progress pictures are a really good idea, even if you're not sharing them with anyone but yourself, because you do see a distorted self-image any time you look in a mirror. I never thought I was making progress, until I looked at a "before" family photo, and thought, "whoa". And while some of it may be an insecurity issue,…

Hmmm. That may be worth a doctor's visit, or checking out some runner forums, to see if they have some more insight.

How long are your socks? Maybe the increased sweat with the type of detergent you're using is irritating your shins?

That voice in the back of your head that tells you you're a fat, unworthy piece of s*$#? 50 lbs less later and it's still there.

Congratulations! That's actually one of my goals; to make my driver's license not be a liar anymore.

You look absolutely radiant.

I wouldn't say that sex is an ulterior motive, more like an anticipated conclusion........

Does he have self-esteem issues? He may feel that if you lose weight, get healthy, "look better", you're going to leave him for someone better.

I added my sodium intake to the main screen of things tracked on the website. It helps inform my decisions, and I've noticed a more consistent drop when I try to keep it in check. Personally, I tend to drop a lot of weight (3-4 pounds), gain part of it back, and lose it again slowly. Once I hit the original drop number,…

3 hard taco shells are around 110 calories. Break them up, toast in the over for a few minutes, and sprinkle just a bit of salt on them. I find it to be an awesome substitute, and it visually looks like a lot of chips.
