Today was the day I finally got to see some movement down on the scale. The first week I started, the scale actually went up. The next week on the day I was going to weigh myself in, the batteries in my scale died. Were they sending me a message of some sort? Anyway, I finally got those special batteries and weighed in today. Between the last time I weighed in (when the number actually went up) and this morning, I lost a little short of 5 pounds. I hope I can continue on the downward road.
