Well, I got on that scale this morning and there it was! In big 2" tall silver grey pulsating numbers 189.0! I was over joyed. Then tempting fate, I searched out the dreaded TAPE MEASURE. You know that thing that reminds you of a lazy boa constrictor that refuses to squeeze down to a smaller number. LOL I'm down 2.25" overall. I took a look at my Progress Report and there is a steady downward trend... that's a good thing. I've lost 15 pounds since the beginning of June. The emotional ups and downs drive me crazy. I guess I haven't learned to have faith in the NS system. Fighting constipation is a royal pain in the a.. pardon my bum! LOL And mostly that's what worries me the most I feel like I'm full of it! Have a great weekend. My hubby and I are going to look at Daybeds with a trundle pull out for the guest bedroom. Since we got our new furniture I want the computer OUT of the living room. Well get rid of the two twins and the ugly bedframes. We bought this house furnished and it's time to put our style in it instead of the other owner's taste.
