the scale budged today. i realized I weighed myself after 5 days, instead of 7!...its only a 7lb loss, but I'll take it. I think all of us would secretly like to lose 5lbs/week, each week, but we know (or at least I do) that it is not like that....its a long process and not always a linear(downward slope) progress..

this is why I'm glad for this support site...it keeps me motivated for the long run!
