Hi all, I'm so excited graemlins/crazy.gif Last Sunday I W/I'd at 143.5 and this Sunday it's 140. I lost 3.5 pounds. I tried to edit my previous post but it said only moderators could do that so I'm posting here again. I'm up to lose another 2 or so by next Sunday. I start training with WW on Tuesday, so I had alot of incentive. Have a great week.
