First "Normal" Clothing Store in 26 Years.
As of today I've lost 100.8 lbs (still have roughly 50 more to go), so I decided to go to the mall. I've been buying all my clothes at Goodwill since I'm not going to be too upset if that $6 pair of jeans doesn't fit in four months. I was mainly glancing at shoes because I was considering buying a pair of Dr. Martens'…

Suggested Bike Accessories/Tools?
I'm about to buy a new bike as a reward for one of the weight loss goals I set myself. First one I'll have owned in over 30 years. Other than a helmet, left over from roller derby, I have zero maintenance items/accessories/tools. I have already picked out a local bike shop and I'll ask them for their suggestions,…

I've had it suggest a cup of cornstarch when the recipe listed it for…

Breaking 200...
I got on the scale this morning. 198.6 lbs. I'm 43 years old and this is only the second time in my adult life that I've been below 200. The last time was in 2011 and I got down to 191, but then fell off (and stayed off) the wagon due to unexpected events. I'm now down 82.8 lbs in 47 weeks. I still have around 60 lbs to…

This is why we always tell you to use grams and not cups!
Bought some campanelle pasta for the first time this weekend. I always weigh my pasta in the measuring cup so I can see the actual cup/grams discrepancy of the various styles versus what the package claims a cup will weigh. This one was enormous. THIS is why you ALWAYS weigh. Do not use volume for calories. One cup here…
