You know it's spring when...
I scrape my legs. Ever since I was a little girl my legs have been covered with scrapes & scabs & bruises. But I love my scars! Each one is a memory from having a really good time.

Weight loss ticker not accurate
Apparently I signed up on this app 2 years ago when I weighed 40lbs less. How do I change my starting weight? I don't want to wait 40lbs for my profile to finally say I lost 1lb. Lol. I know it shouldn't matter but it's like a *kitten* for me.
