When I went to moms to pick up the kids I used her scale. I am now 286, down from 305!!! I was surprised! Especially since I am on my period and I always weigh more during this time. I can see the difference when I look in the mirror, which makes me feel really good! I actually have a pair of shorts that were to tight last year that are lose! I put on a pair of shorts this morning that I would never wear out of the house because I always thought they were to short. Well Jeannie and mom both complimented me on them! How awesome is that!?
