Woke me up out of a deep sleep. I…

Friend or Foe in the Fat Fighting Frenzy?

What do you do when...
... you have been using an analogue scale all along (which is calibrated)... then use a battery-operated digital scale that is about 5+ years old and it weighs you in at 20 lbs. MORE? Seriously!

Down 20 pounds!
I was in shock when I got on the scale yesterday. Yet again, another pound. I've lost 20 pounds in the past 7-8 weeks. It feels great. I put my jeans on and was in shock that they were huge on me. And these jeans are normally tight. That's a really good feeling! My undercloths (pants and sports bras) are amazingly too big.…
