Re: The Diet/Self-Improvement Thread

6lbs in a week? Oh my goodness! That's quite the loss! It's amazing how much giving up bread can make a difference. Just a few simple adjustments to your health plans like working out more and drinking more water can make a significant difference, too. Nice work!
