    Made it through the weekend without temptation. I even made my famous no bake cookies and didn't eat one (just a few crums)!
    I've lost 2 pounds since starting my lifestyle change and on track to meet my Labor Day Goal as well as final weight goal! :smile: :bigsmile:

    Down 2 more pounds this past week for a total of 4. I'm on track! :wink:
