Weight loss is not only a physically demanding journey, but an emotional one as well. It helps to be positive and tell yourself the things you love about YOU. It doesn't have to be physical at all. Just tell us everyday this week 1 thing you love about yourself, and make sure you listen to yourself when you say it :wink:…

Monday Week 4
Happy Monday challengers! So I'm a little disappointed today with my scale. But a 1lb weight loss is better than a gain.

Today is my day off of…
