However I am still not a super skinny 120. And…

looking at the scale
I hate getting on the scale, and especially when I don't see it move a whole lot. It discourages me a little, but I know it takes time. I have been dieting for a month or so almost and have lost 8 pounds and I guess that is a good start, but it seemed like it was all at once in the beginning. Honestly it puts me in a foul…

If anyone caught the Biggest Loser last night, I thought it was one of the most inspirational episodes ever!

I think that…

Need some encouragement
Ok so the scale says I've gained a few pounds within the last few days, even though I'm staying in my calorie range, eating healthy, and getting tons of exercise. I know a few things: 1) my scale is whacky and it fluctuates more than a normal scale (although I usually can get it w/n a pound or so...not usually off by that…
