Scared to step on the scales
As this is my first week and I hate dieting, I am scared to do the weekly weigh in. I have never been one to watch what I eat but due to long term injury I have seen my weight creep up over the past year. What is the first week like for folk on MFP? Are you excited or dread going on? Also when I exercise it always adds my…
