At What Point......
did you know you were at the weight you should be? I am pretty much at my goal weight, but I still don't like the way I look. I am right within the range for my height/weight/age but I think I still need to lose some. If I was to tell someone my weight, they would say I was small, but looking at me I don't feel that weight…

Water Does Not Fill Me Up
I'm not complaining in this thread because I am acheiving all of my goals with weightloss and am happy. I was just wondering if anyone else does not get that "full" feeling from drinking water.

Spin Class..I'm scared
This is one class I am so afraid to try, but I really want to attempt it. I'm not sure if I will be able to keep up. I mean, I can ride the bike, but I don't think I can go as fast as they do.

Hey, I may have looked like an idiot doing my workout…
