i heard some of the same comments when i lost a bunch of weight. just enjoy your size 2 and ignore the comments. saw a similar thread a couple of weeks ago and one person had a great response to the, "you look anorexic" comment. he said something like, "i just don't like it when my stomach...

i've been on a rotating shift for 17 years! every 28 days we switch. my bosses all know the hazards of rotating shifts but refuse to give us permanent shifts, (even though all the bosses have permanent shifts, go figure). their reasoning is that a rotating shift makes for a better employee...

42 in 30 days!! and it just keeps getting better!

not that long ago, i had to face my demon which was food. for me it was definitely mental. all those years of eating crap added on about 50 lbs. now after going through what i did to get rid of the weight, it doesn't take much to keep me motivated to stay on track. although after 4 years...

im doing an off season diet now. it pretty much mimics my pre-contest diet except my carbs are higher. i now have carbs, (brown rice, whole wheat bread and oatmeal) with three of my meals. my protein intake went up slightly as well. here is sample of what i eat pretty much every day as i am...
