Rock Climbing and...?
Hi! After a good year or 2 of lifting I joined my local rock climbing gym and it's great!

Vanity Sizing! WHY?
So I've been steadily loosing weight and noticed that all of my old work clothes are majorly loose on me, which is great because I'm not only making progress, but I need new clothes anyway :P What's annoying is I've noticed stuff I bought about 5 years ago that are like 34 and 36 waists are still a bit tight, while I'll go…

Newbie here. What is your overall goal?
Hi! I just joined this year as a part of my New Years Resolution to start journaling more. I'm looking for friends who I can mutually support as I try to finally achieve my goal. I've gone from about 240 to around 205 since last May and have been stuck trying to break 200. I think MFP is just what I need to help keep me…
