Grossing under 1000 calories is different than netting under 1000. For instance, most of my net totals are under 1000 because I work off much of what I eat in the morning and afternoon at the gym. This doesn't mean that it's recommended for everyone, or that it's the right or wrong way to do things. If I had physical…

Fish, pork, and the occasional ground turkey adds a lot to your pantry. I work with about the same materials and manage to make some fairly decent meals. Add coucous as well and you get a bunch more varieties. That and a bit of seasoning goes a really long way. Nothing spicy or exotic. Even pepper and a bit of garlic…

My motivation has always been how I feel, and never about how anyone else responds to me, although the kudos are nice. I just feel like moving isn't as much of a burden as it was…

One of the biggest things that helped me along the way was to change my eating habits in tiny increments instead of everything all at once. Most people don't do well with huge changes to their lives, especially when so little is under their control. By altering small factors of my diet and exercise plans I was able to…

Yep, right now I am stressing over the last few inches of extra bulk I am carrying around and the 15 pounds I have yet to lose, not the 60+ that I've lost so far or how I fit in the suit I graduated college in a dozen years ago. People tend to notice small flaws when they can do something about them. The important thing is…

Go ahead and add me as well. I've almost reached my first goal, so if anyone wants or needs pointers, or just a cheering section, I'll be sure to chime in.
