I don&#8217;t know exactly what those inches are, but I am fitting into clothes that I wore when I was 175lbs and quite a bit flabbier than I am now.  <\/p>\n<p>It is frustrating that I&#8217;m still heavier as I&#8217;d really like the weight to go, but it helps a little that I am slimming or toning.  I do believe that weight loss will come&#8230;..at least that&#8217;s what I keep telling myself.<\/p>\n<p>With all of that being said&#8230;..here we are and it&#8217;s Monday Morning and my weight this morning was&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>196.2 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>This is a loss of 1.2 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>While I wish it was more&#8230;.I can be happy that it was a loss and not a gain.  YAH!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be updating a bit more regularly, or at least that&#8217;s my plan.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else want to join us?  You can update in my comments or link back to yourself or whatever you want.  It&#8217;s just fun to know that others are there for you and understand what you&#8217;re up against.<\/p>\n<p><em>ps.
