Default Only water? I'm counting it!!

When I stepped on the scales first thing this morning for my weigh-in, I was down a half a pound. Okay, but kinda disappointing after two weeks of really conscientious work.

Four hours, several errands, a workout, and a shower later, I stepped on the scales again, and I was down another TWO pounds!

Guess which number goes on my weekly report!

I know perfectly well that my weight can fluctuate dramatically from day to day--and even hour to hour--depending on hydration But what's gone is gone, I say! Whoop-de-doo!:jump:

Barb, I am really amazed that you were down two pounds during the day! Whoo Hoo!

I am a real scale junkie. Weigh myself all the time in the name of "science." I have never been less in the afternoon than first thing in the AM. Just shows you that all your LC persistence does pay off!

You bet "the lowest number wins!"
