Does any woman have a picture of what it looks like to go from 140 to 130? (even better if 5'6")?
Hey all, I've been lurking around here for 7-8 months and I just cannot seem to lose these 10 lbs. I'll create a decent deficit (mostly through exercise..and a reasonable diet) but then one day I'll go get a couple beers and a pub meal and erase most if not all of it. I think if I can see how much difference those 10 lbs…

How different would my life have been?
Now that I'm lighter, I've started wondering about all the things that would have been different in my life had I always been this weight. For example when I was in the Marine Corps I always hovered around the max allowable weight, 155. I use to get hounded by my superiors to drop weight and the Drill Instructors in…

Why does my body tell me it's hungry, when it's been fed enough.

I finally stopped convincing myself I am a BMI anomaly.
Most of my adult life I spent between about 155-175 lbs, at 5'6"…so, overweight. I always told myself I was more muscular than average and "athletic". While partially true, it took getting to 228 lbs in the span of less than a year, then losing down to 138 lbs to realize my full potential. I am faster. I am stronger. And I…

How do I stop basing what I eat off how skinny/fat I feel?
Alright, so here's the problem. I recently (through the course of the last 11 months) lost 90 lbs. I've never been this weight before, since probably 13 years old. 138 lbs at 5'6". Great news! But the problem is I wake up feeling skiiiiiiny and happy and want to eat a house because I'm thinner than I've ever been. I wish I…
