    Struggle/Success: I record my weight once a week on Monday though I weigh myself daily. Glad last Thursday wasn't weigh-in day. I was up to 117. The next day it was 115. It's like the stock market with daily fluctuations. Actually, the higher number helped me to really focus on eating right. The Christmas season got me into some bad habits.
