I think I'm close to my UGW (at least my first one!)
I decided to take a picture today and compare it to previous pictures. The first picture is from 2005, but it's really where I was until around 2009 where I started to get serious about losing weight. After falling off for a while, I started again in late 2011 and though there have been ups and downs, I've lost almost…

How much did your feet shrink?
I'm wondering if anyone's seen a big change in their shoe size after losing a lot of weight. I started at an 8EEE (triple wide). That's the boot on the bottom. Now I'm in a 5.5D (standard width), the shoe on the bottom. Actually the shoe on the bottom is a 7.5 in women's shoes, as they are now the only shoes I can find…

Losing muscle
This is probably the most unpopular opinion on fitness and health blogs, but I need to get some advice on this. I need to lose some muscle. I'm a very bulky person, and I really feel uncomfortable with that. While I've gotten in better shape over time, I'm still very stocky, and most of it is in my legs. I practice and…

Depression, Screwed up today
I ate way too much today and blew myself way over my calorie budget, I don't know how much, probably just over my maintenance calories, cause I kept count for most of the day. It's only one day, I know, and I'm not entirely discouraged, but it was mainly due to hitting a big period of depression into almost mental…

Soba and Veggies: Low Sodium, Vegetarian
Because I need to watch my sodium, I've been cooking according to that, and I put a few things together and it tastes great, so I thought I'd pass it on. Very simple, as it's pretty much just boiling some water and cooking some potatoes. Ingredients: 2oz dry Hakubaku Soba Noodles 1/3 cup frozen corn 1/3 cup frozen green…

Woah! Hit my first goal!
Hey everyone! I finally hit my first goal of 180 pounds. Lost about 15 pounds, and now I'm slowly working down closer to a healthy weight! This site has been a huge help, even though I wasn't on it for a while due to laziness ^_^;;

Ugh! SODIUM!
On Mondays and Thursdays, I have to eat quite a bit, as I do martial arts on those days. However, those days are the days where I go about 1000 - 2000 over in my sodium content. Even things such as bread has extremely high amounts of sodium for one slice, so even eating a sandwich cuts out half of my sodium intake for very…

Got to pig out ^_^
Yay! I had to eat quite a bit today to keep my energy up for kendo (which was a killer) So me and a couple friends went out to McDonald's and I got to eat a terribly delicious meal and stayed under my calorie count! Not so happy about the sodium levels in that stuff....but hey. As long as I don't make a habit of it! It…
