Even so, the scales numbers read the same- sometimes even a pound heavier The best words of encouragement I can give you are to have patience. And don't…

It seems like forever and I'm trying so hard...the jeans I am used to wearing were too big on me so I was excited, until I got to the store and found out I had…
