Hello from Northern Virginia!

Good morning! So I really want to do the October 2011 Virginia Tough Mudder - http://toughmudder.com/events/virginia/.

Increased Exercise & a Sudden Increase in Hunger
I'm sure people have posted about this, but I am having some serious trouble finding previous posts that address this (maybe I just suck at searching). So, I originally had my weight loss set to 1.2 lb/week (1200 net) but was not exercising. I started exercising at the beginning of April, and reset my weight loss to 1.0…

NSV at the Mall today!!
So I went to the mall today to get some body lotion at Victoria's Secret, and I thought hey, maybe I should try on a new size bra since none of mine seem to fit well anymore. I've been a 36D (at times bulging out of a 36D) for a long time now, so I grabbed a 34C for kicks. It seemed to fit fine, but in my disbelief, I…

He has eaten poorly, never exercised, and been generally apathetic about his health. His family has a long history of heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, etc., yet he…

Mini NSV
I was making coffee in the lunchroom today and one of my coworkers walked in and told me (in a non-creepy way) that I really looked fantastic today. I was wearing a dress that I wear all the time - so I know it wasn't my outfit, haha. It's the first thing anyone's said since I lost my first 15 lb (besides my fiance :P)…
