Congrats Shasha!!! :cheer:
I decided to put my scale in the closet this week. I can't decide how I feel about it. Not sure if I prefer weekly or daily weighing. Part of the reason I put it away is because I made some food choices I wasn't proud of last weekend and wanted to give myself the week to work any gain back off w/o facing the number, but I know I should be able to face the consequences of my actions. I don't know...I'm just babbling! :dizzy:
I'll face the music on Friday. Have a happy and healthy day everyone! :sunny:

I worked so hard this week and at least I'm down a touch on the scale, but I want to see 226 again...that's the lowest I've seen so far and that was a couple weeks ago. I've worked so hard this week and counted every calorie...and of course kept up my workouts.
Weekends tend to be tough on a lot of us...I know I have a more difficult time on weekend. Let's all stay strong and healthy this weekend! We'll see those numbers getting lower!
