DeKalb/Sycamore area?
My husband and I live in Cortland (teeny, tiny town next to DeKalb). We're looking to move soon, but plan to remain in the area. We currently go to the relatively new Anytime Fitness in DeKalb, but are also starting to explore FitWorkz, which is a local place. I'm halfway just curious about who's local to this area, and…

I haven't lost much since the beginning of the year (due to food…

Am I in the right calorie range?
Diary is open. I'm 5'2"-ish. I started around 220 Lbs. (didn't wanna know the actual weight but 220 is relatively close!) Based on the BMI charts I've seen, I started shooting for 120 Lbs. In the last month or so, my training crew at my gym did the math based on my current BF% and found that I'm much more likely to hit…
