TMI, but I could use some advice...
So we did Annie last night. Since I got past a certain point in my weight loss (and I still have a LOT more to lose), any time I do a lot of sit ups at once I end up rubbing a spot on my butt raw. Like, RAW. It's just below my tailbone and holy CRAP does it hurt. I have no idea what to do about it; I LIKE doing sit ups,…

NSV--size large!
Five months ago I was wearing 3x's. Yesterday, I bought and wore a size large!! I've been in plus sizes since I was a young teen, and I'm not complete out of them yet. But it felt really, really good to rock that dress last night. :)

Hard numbers: body fat, weight, a realistic goal ... Ack!
I need to bounce this off of somebody, to make sure I'm thinking this through right. Current weight: 229# Current bf%: approx. 36% LBM: 147# BF: 82# I had my goal weight set to 150, but I just went back and refigured stuff. If I can hold onto all 147# of LBM and can get my BF to 20%, my weight would be between180-185#.…
