Pretty good month, if I say so myself. For the weight challenge we’re having at work, for the [not quite] halfway point, I’ve lost 9 pounds. I know my buddy lost 6, and a bunch of people haven’t done squat. I feel pretty good, and although I’m hungry sometimes, I dont’ feel like I’ve starved [...]

And depending how you value your time, might not be worth it. (To me, it was, since I now have a Windows site instead of Linux, and being a Windows [...]
