Weekly Weigh-In: August 10, 2010

28st 13lbs -8lb (3.62kg) – 260lbs (117.93kg) to go A little late, I’ll admit, but I’ve had a busy week. We, my big sister and I, decided to try out the Tuesday meeting, because it’s more convenient – at least for me, anyway – and means that Linda’s fiancé is available to give her a [...]

In Which Fatso Is Bored

It’s Saturday night. Do you know what I imagine most “normal” 27-year-old girls are doing at 9:10pm on a “normal” Saturday night? (Normal, in my head means: not married, no kids.
