thanks man! ya, i havent weighed in a few days. im liking that. i may not for a couple weeks.

ya, this has been an ongoing problem for 3 years or so now, no matter what type of diet i do. its weird: before i "turned over a new leaf" in june of 07 and started really focusing on being healthy, changing my eating habits, exercising, and so on, i drank A LOT and ate horribly...and pooped all...

i am totally crazy from it! and i always advise my friends/family that are trying to lose weight, dont weigh every day! and here i am, a SLAVE to the scale. a thought: as we all know, i did a cycle of epistane/dermacrine that ended a few weeks ago...does the body continue to be in a state of...
