NSV: Face picture comparison
I have been slowly getting into shape the last 3-4 months and even though progress is slow, I know that eventually I will see big changes. I was feeling a little discouraged because of all the work i've put in, but then I saw this picture. After getting employee of the month my picture was posted in my workplace and I…

NSV: I think?
So I went to give blood today and most of the time they turn me away because my iron is too low. Last time I gave blood I was at 12.6 which is .1 away from being too low. I've been anemic all my life. Today when they pricked my finger and tested my blood I was at 13.8 which is waay in the normal range. I don't know if it's…

Thoughts on protein powder
I am hungry ALL THE TIME. I can't stop thinking about food and never feel full. I've heard that adding protein, fiber, and water helps a lot, but I couldn't see it happening. I went out and bought some protein powder to see if it works and have been using one scoop before each big meal (serving size is 2 scoops). I'm…

Pain after arm workout
I never work out my arms so I finally decided to about 3 days ago. I really pushed myself hard (weights, machine pull ups, etc.). The day after I was really sore, and I figured it was just because I was working muscles I never really work that much. Now after 3 days the pain is much worse. It hurts around my forearm and…

Question for car people
So long story short I got backed into and am dealing with insurance companies, I had to take my Volvo over to get an estimate for the damages. Since they weren't too busy they decided to give me a free inspection. They told me that my battery was weak and it died on them. (However they did flip this switch that kills the…

NSV - yay! sorta
I just bought these jeans like 3 weeks ago and they were extremely tight on me. I figured I'd lose weight and fit into them. They are my favorite jeans now, but are too loose.

Unemployment question
I am currently working part time, about 20-22 hours per week. The place I work at is probably going to close and I was wondering if anybody knew anything about unemployment and if i'm eligible to collect it even though I wasn't full time.

NSV- the plank
When I started working out I could barely reach a minute. Today I did my first 2 minute plank. I know it doesn't sound like much, but planks freakin hurt! =)

Don't want to lose my motivation
So as far as weight goes, I don't care so much about the number, I just want to look good. I've gone to the gym the last 10 out of 11 days. I started at 130lbs. (i'm 5'2'' 22 years old) and I am still exactly 130lbs. over a week later eating healthier than ever and exercising a lot. I'm kind of new to this whole losing…

Torn Knee Ligament
About 2 years ago I tore my PCL playing hockey and every time I go to the gym I end up walking out limping because every exercise seems to hurt it. I've tried everything, even some expensive knee braces, but it still ends up hurting. I hate it because I love to run and workout, but it really limits what I can do and cuts…

Gym NSV
I've been going to the gym for the last 9 days straight, and after the first 4 I felt like I actually wanted to go. Like it was a treat for me to be able to go to the gym. This is the first time I could consistently go to the gym without dreading it.
