today was weigh in day. i'm down 5 pounds. yippee!!! after all those 3 long weeks of not losing anything i'm so incredibly happy to have lost this weight.

eating right and working out really does pay off.

i was beginning to get so discouraged. i really needed this loss.

i've already re-evaluated my short term weight loss goal and my plan is to lose 15 pounds by May 24. i know this might seem like a small amount in a long time period, but i definitely don't want to set myself up to fail. i would rather reach the goal early than not attain it at all.
