Today's weigh-in: 146. I'm down 18 pounds, with 11 left to my goal.
I'm packing slinky, sexy stuff in my suitcase for Convergence, and am all prepped to wear my painted-on Spandex Super Hero Suit. Maybe some point soon I will be brave enough to post photos. Why is it that when I look in the mirror, I see hotness, but when I look at a photograph, ( Read more... ) -
No Crap Diet Update: Week 16 -- Another Two Pounds Down.

No Crap Diet Update: Week 10 -- Plateau Again

No Crap Diet Update: Weeks 7 & 8 -- The Plateau has broken
The astute of you will notice that there was no update for week 7. That was because I still weighed in at 157 pounds, and was starting to feel like one of the characters in Waiting for Godot.
