    Final day tomorrow!! What have you learned about yourself this month?

    I learned that I can have major celebrations like my son's wedding, and still end the month without gaining any weight if I stay aware!

    Hope to see you all in Lose 5 Pounds in September!

    When I reach my goal weight? Truth be told it's still unreal that I might actually get there, so I haven't decided on anything big to reward myself. But this was fun! And it made me really take notice how fast and how easily my body is losing now that I am feeding it right. I might just see everyone in the lose 5 in Sept group!
