No Sex Drive
Ugh, this is horribly embarrassing and I've put it off as long as I can, but I need to know if anyone knows anything on the topic or has experienced it themselves. Pretty much everyone I've talked to (online or in person) who has lost weight tells me that their libido rocketed through the roof when they dropped the weight.…

Question Re: Resistance Band Strength
Had a question on resistance bands and even my strongest Google-Fu is not yielding a definitive result, so thought I'd see if anyone here had a good answer or source. I have a set of Bodylastics resistance bands that I use for strength training. They're each labeled with the strength of the band, 5 lbs to 30 lbs, and you…

Clothing Size Tool
I've seen a bunch of threads asking about various clothing sizes and thought I'd share a useful site I found (rather than just trying to get it into threads and most people missing it).

Why You Can't Let the Scale Get You Down
Today, I got on the scale and saw a .2 pound gain.

So I just grab what's in the fridge, ended up inventing a quick cheese sauce (that, I…

Give Yourself a Chance!
This is my response to a lot of threads posted in this forum; I figure it might be more effective than trying to reply to each one individually (since there seems to be a constant stream of them). I notice many people posting things like, "I have been really good all week but ate 300 calories over today, HELP!!!" or "I'm…

Accumulated NSVs
I wrote this up to post on reddit and figured you guys might like to see it too! I have lost 36 pounds out of the 90 total I'm taking off (5'0"/F, to put that in context). I've been trying not to make a big deal out of the little things I've noticed, but they've finally added up to a point that I can't completely ignore…
