Protein powder... what's your favorite?
Hey all! I've been trying to up my protein lately as I've started weightlifting, and I know my protein consumption is WAY below what it should be. So I'm thinking of adding protein powder in. I have a few ideas on how to use it (more is always appreciated though!), but I don't want to waste money on terrible product.…

Feeling like a horrible person.
So I'm feeling like a total *kitten*. I managed to alienate a coworker of mine, and was totally unaware that I was doing so. She's now super mad at me, resentful that I've had some success losing the weight (we were about the same size when I started this), and decided to not sit in the same area as I do when we work…

Spices
Anyone have a couple spices that, in their house, just don't seem to last as long as they should? I mean, I bought a big cinnamon shaker at Christmas and I was using it this morning going... "I thought there was more in here!!!" Other spices that don't seem to last long in my house are ground mustard, curry powder, garlic…

One year later...
So it's been a year since I started. And I went jean shopping today because my jeans were again getting big. I walked out with size 8 jeans, got home, zipped them up - and they fit like a glove. I haven't been a size 8 since... well, I don't know when. Never really... I started out last year at 288lbs (probably more like…

NSV: a backwards compliment from my sister...
So for as long as I can remember, my sister has always been negative about my weight (and although tactless, she was right)... however, went out with the family for dinner today, and about halfway through, my sister just blurts out "okay... you can, like, stop now. I don't want to have to work at being the hot one." Mwa ha…

Was hoping to do this at 199, but 200 is close! Start to Pre
So, started at 288-290 (start weight on here was listed at 288, but that was really because I didn't want to admit that I was likely 290 when I actually STARTED), and am now 200. In January of this year, I got tired of the weight and decided that it was time to kick it... so here's my journey in 3 pics (so far) - start,…

Paramedic Fitness Test
Hey all, wasn't sure where to put this one... I'm at the point that I think I could *maybe* get into good enough shape to complete one of my life's goals, which is to get paramedic certified. Not only will I have to get into the best shape I've ever been in, I'll have to get over my debilitating fear of needles. Win win in…

5 months in, 55 lbs down... and I'm finally seeing it
Hey all! Haven't posted to the boards at all yet, however today I have finally noticed a difference. I have the same shirt in green and black, and am wearing the black one. I was sifting through wedding photos and saw myself wearing the green version the day before my wedding... the difference is making me smile: August…
