I now know why it is not a good thing to weigh-in on a daily basis...my weight is like a pogo stick...up and down up and up. Oh well, sticking to the diet and exercising, hopefully my 1 week weigh-in will show a net loss. -__- Goal 1: 5% lost - 230 lbs, June 25 Goal 2: 10% lost - 218 lbs, July 30 Goal 3: Ultimate goal, 200 lbs (18% lost), September 3

It takes 2 months for it to finally balance out. Measurements are always the best indicator for myself at the beginning. Don't get discouraged!!!!
