Weigh in day 11/30/12 +.8 = 46 LBS down 44LBS to go……

I was way too thankful last weekend, I mean WAY TOO! I think the hardest reality was that I did so well until Thursday and then it was a nonstop eating marathon, like the flood gates had opened on all crappy for me food in ridiculous amounts. All week I stressed about weighing in knowingContinue reading “Weigh in day 11/30/12 +.8 = 46 LBS down 44LBS to go……”
