Unexpected Non Scale Victory (NSV)
So during March Madness I noticed that it was getting hard to read the scores on TV and I started sitting closer to the TV so I could actually read them.

The last two days I realized I am not hungry at lunch time when…

I would like to lose around 90 pounds, most of it in my gut. I recently finished reading 'Wheat Belly' and am in the middle of reading…
