Keeping clothes around that are too small... waste of time?
I ordered a pair of jeans online, and they ended up being too small... but to the point where I could probably fit into them by fall. Should I keep them or return them for the next size up? Are you motivated by skinny clothes or do they just take up room in your closet/prevent you from wearing cute clothes in the here and…

Don't want to overtrain; don't want to be a wimp either :)
I wanted to get some feedback on my fitness routine. I have about 100lbs to lose but I am still pretty good at moving by body in the gym; I used to be an athlete and I am pretty tall so it doesn't really prevent me from doing any exercises. I'm eating about 1500 net calories per day, high-protein/low sugar. I ride my bike…
