Hi mate first of all good on you for kicking/trying to kick the drugs, and hopefully smoking too. If you look at it in simple terms...you can't change the past, but you can certainly change the...

Hey mate! If you are neither gaining nor losing then what you are eating now, including your typical weekends is your maintenance calorie level. If you want to losw more weight, you have to be in a...

Congratulations on losing 60 pounds so far!! in your own words, you would "still look like ****" if you are still overweight despite losing 60lbs...but rather than let that de-motivate you, think...
