junk food making me sick

7 month progress pics
hey all, I'm of the frame of mind that slow and steady wins the race, so my progress is not of the speedy variety. that said, since february, I've rekindled my desire to get healthy. heavy lifting 3 times/week and mixing in cardio and keeping active with ultimate frisbee a couple hours a week, and being habitually aware of…

looking for an accurate caliper
hello, I have been using the gym's hand held BF mechanism, and don't know how much I should trust it for accuracy.
