Hey there. Gabe, 23, 1-month on T

One year ago I decided to get in shape. Here are the results.

So yesterday was a rough day. Not in terms of eating poorly, but moreso emotionally bad. Since January I have lost 41 pounds, and I have to admit I've been getting a pretty big head- er ego. I've studied Buddhism for about 4 years on and off, and they believe that when one shaves or buzzes his/her head, they lose that ego. Now, I buzzed my head last November for the similar reasons. Last night, I was...

I was digging through my old photobucket account and came up with a few interesting shots. Before and After:  41 lbs lost. Last summer at Lollapalooza with my girlfriend. I'm on the right. This was probably my heaviest- maybe 186? Winter '06- wicked hair. Still fat. haha. Towards the beginning of my weight loss- 180 maybe? After: My and my girl. I'm on the right- I...

A couple weeks ago I posted a photo of my ears at 12 gauge and asked if I had enough room to stretch. Pretty much everyone suggested re-piercing them. So I got them re-pierced at 10 gauge. I have a few concerns: 1. Is the new hole, too close to the old hole in my left ear? 2. How big do you think I'll be able to stretch (the 10 gauge looks like an 8 in my ear. ha) Pictures below!!

Me and my girl got a new cat! Meet DominO:

I thought I'd introduce myself...My name is Melissa. I am 21 years young and live right outside of Chicago. My girlfriend and I have been together for a little over 2 years. We just signed a year lease on a beautiful apartment. We have a cat, hamster, and a hermit crab. I'm being really random today for some reason. Ah well...on to it! Here are some pictures, for those who can't be bound by words...

Who doesn't like a picture post? Here are some before pictures (circa November 2006- January 2007) and during pictures (i.e. today or within the week). I basically decided to do this because I fit into a pair of size 8 pants today. So I am celebrating. Here ya go. Click below. BEFORE: Body Shot (186 lbs) I'm on the far left with the brown shirt on. Wow thats a bit embarrassing. ha. ...

I'll keep this short and sweet: Do I have enough room to stretch? I want to go up to a 2g or 0g. Right now I'm at a 12g. Pictures of both my ears are below. Thanks.
