What "silly" NSV do you have when you reach your goal weight
Yes, we all have those MAJOR weight loss goals. But what about the ones that probably aren't listed in our message board signatures?

Is this normal?
I am just starting to get into exercising and tonight I did 15 situps. I felt the "burn" in my upper abdomen. Afterward, I wa in a seated position and the muscles in my stomach started to contract. I had about 5 minutes of "charlie horses" in my stomach. It cramped so much that I almost vomited. The cramps were VERY…
