Reasonable goals for inches lost
Hello everyone. I bought a fitbook (essentially a weight loss planner) and I'm trying to set some goals for myself for a 12 week period.

Temptations
I would just like everyone to know there has been a box of donuts sitting across form me for over an hour and I have not ate one and I do not plan on eating one. :D For me, this is a victory.

Team in Training questions
Anyone out there ever do this? What was your experience with it? Is this something where I would have to pay to sign up and if so roughly how much? Not really looking to pay a whole lot of money. I know I can go to a meeting or have them come here for an information session, I just don't want to waste my time or theirs if…

Hello from NC!
So I originally started this site in October, fiddled around with it a bit for about a week or so. Now I am back and more determined than ever! I guess my story is similar to many others. I was fairly thin in high school (130llbs or so at 5'6"), gained weight throughout college, I'd say topping out at 180llbs. The summer…
