The swelling around my big toe has finally gone down enough that the first part of the toe touches the ground most of the time when I'm standing still.

The problem is that I literally cannot step up onto the scale at the moment,…

Breastfeeding, exercising, tracking, not losing weight.
I had my third child six months ago. I weight within two pounds of what I did five months ago. I'm at 182 as of this morning, and would like to weigh 150 (I'm 5'7"; 150 is on the high end of acceptable for my height). I do karate at least twice a week, and have for the past four months. I have just added circuit training…
