The Countdown

Lost a pound, a little worried.

I am happy to have lost the pound since it's going in the right direction, HOWEVER, I am still super worried that I won't get to under 200. I just am. I really just have to leave Arizona under 200. That's around 26 pounds in...maybe 2/3 months and I'm nervous as all hell. If I don't go back below 200, I'd be very, very upset. :(

P.S. How much have you lost? I've lost the amount of trash I throw away every month and the average human brain. What about you?

  1. a 5000 BTU air conditioner! Love this idea, might have to "borrow" it, if you don't mind.
