I totally agree with everyone on those pics too, you look leaner in the side shots for sure and no one knows like our hubby's so you can take that compliment to the bank!!!!! 
Keep tweaking the calories, I am sure you are making changes but they may take a few weeks to see on the scale? hmmm? seems to be the universal question around here doesn't it??
I have to admit, knowing nothing about martial arts (at all!) I read the belt as "NIC-U" like neonatal ICU...hahaha made me laugh out loud at myself since I have no idea how to pronounce it, or read it?? haha
I figure with two boys, I will at some point in my life watch TKD or karate or something, but until then....I am a complete idiot on this stuff!  Sooooo, that is why your descriptions come in handy for peeps like me!!! Sounds REALLY hard and PAINFUL! and yet FUN all at the same time!! haha (for us masochists!)

Thanks (again) for all the congrats!
Nik - it's pronounced "knee - q" (kyu being the term for rank, and ni is the number 2 in Japanese - so when I earn my Ich Kyu (first kyu, pronounced "ee" or "eech"), I'll be the highest rank before black belt...
I'm still working on calories - started reading a bit of Leigh's book today (but I have to be careful at work - there's a SPY in the midst and I'm gonna have to be careful about spending time on this board too

I was thinking about that - I should just do it. With my luck, I'll fall off and break my neck

Trying to figure out what (if any) snack to have tonight... I'm hungry (as usual)...
