I have only been a member here for about 6-7 months, and already I have gained so much. I didn't come here to lose weight, I came here to get in better physical shape, and that is exactly what I've done. (I also somehow managed to gain muscle while maintaining my weight/even losing a few lbs., which I think is fantastic!!) I now have a much better body image than I did when I joined, and I don't think I've ever been in better shape.
So far I have made major accomplishments in gaining muscle and losing inches. I went to the store today and tried on a pair of pants for the first time since I joined. They were a size four (usually I'm in a 5) and not only was I able to get them on.. they were too BIG!! Also, while I was working out today, I did the ab exercise where you get into a squat and twist your upper body, and I SAW MY ABS!! I'm pretty sure it was the happiest moment of my life haha.
I really just wanted to thank everybody on this site who has ever helped me. I really do take all of your great advice to heart. Although I don't use the exercise program provided here, I use every other bit of information that is relevant to my goals.
Thank you all again for being so supportive of me and always lending helpful advise when I asked. I know this is a novel-length post, but I just wanted to share my positive experiences with everyone!

-------------- How do you feel? That is the question
But I forget.. you dont expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You cant expect a bit of hope
So while youre outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what youre staring at is me.
