Advice about cutting needed...
I've read a lot of the threads here and the book, Strong (the updated version of New Rules of Lifting for Women) and want to start following Strong's program. However, I'm still so confused about some things. I want to lose 10 more pounds but I can't imagine that I will lose all the fat I want gone with just 10 lbs to my…

I take a different frozen meal to work each day for lunch. Today, I ate Trader Joe's Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice.

Still in NYC, still…

Looking for some friends to complete this journey with me!
Hi! As of July 4, I joined myfitnesspal and am eager to get myself to a new confident me! As my profile explains, I've been overweight most of my life and it has really done a number on my confidence. I rarely put myself out there around new people. I'm tired of hiding my personality and I'm tired of being physically…
