I guess most people will say no…

Wow!! Eating and losing 'size'?!
Hello all! Just thought I would post my 1 month progress: I've been eating between 2000-2500 calories a day, lifting heavy 3/4 times a week (with minimal cardio) and It seems I have lost inches!! I say 'seems' because I'm not actually measuring myself, but instead using clothes to gage my progress. No lie- I bought a shirt…

Overwhelmed & Confused- any insight is appreciated
Hello everyone, I'm not new to 'dieting' but I will say I am new to wanting a 'lifestyle change'. Having said that, those of us who have been in the dieting rollercoaster will probably share the fears and obstacles I will describe here....
