My weightloss journy

Time to go

2011-05-07T08:47:00.001-07:00

It's time to make a change and go. I'm tired of this. I can't changed if I don't do it no one will make me. I've been training to RUN a 5K and just lately have started slacking. I need to get into it! I'm going to do this for me!

I'm done being the FAT COW!

2009-07-10T22:00:00.000-07:00

I saw some pictures of a fantastic meet up with some friends and I am SO ashamed. I HATE HATE HATE the way I look. I totally didn't even realize that I had gotten this bad. Why didn't anyone tell me that!? I just am HUGE!!!!!! So I've finally got the go to exercise and I plan on doing just that! I'm done with this fat cow body!!!!! Who's with me?!!? I'm starting monday when I get back from camping!!!!

I'll post starting things then!

Slow goin'

2009-01-28T13:55:00.001-08:00

Well things were going really good. I was getting really good at getting to the gym 4 times a week and working out nicely. Then I was in the car wreck. And since then I'm on bed rest and can NOT work out. I'm DYING to just get on a treadmil and walk, and even more run. Although I had to run yesturday because Tara fell on her head and just running a little bit about killed me! I hurt so badly!!!!! So anyways right now I'm just walking around the house and trying to keep off the weight I lost from working out and the 25 lbs I've lost since/because of the wreck. Anyways till then....

Much Love!

Still plunkin' along....

2008-11-28T19:17:00.001-08:00

Well I'm still here and still trying to work out. I've had a hard time lately. I tore my shoulder muscle working out and then when that was finally better I had a horrid tooth pain. BUT I'm all better now and hope to continue on my weightloss. I'm so bound and determined to keep the weight off for the holidays. I've done really well so far. I'm watching what and how much I eat as well as I'm monitoring my blood sugars really closely. So here's hoping!!!

Good luck and Happy Holidays to everyone!

Still working out!

2008-10-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

So I'm still working out really good. I'm not sure of my weight and such I need to reecheck it. I'm going to do it within the next week! Do I have any buddies out there?!?!?! Anyways I'm so busy it's crazy! I'll be updating things soon, I hope!

Much love!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-20T20:37:00.000-07:00

It's on!!! And it's going GREAT!!!!!!!!! Now that Tara goes to preschool in Idaho Falls I have time to kill so I've been working out 4 days a week for 2 weeks and it's been great! I've built some mondo muscles so my weight hasn't gone down as much as I'd like but I'm in smaller pants again!!! *insert happy dance here! hee hee* Anyways I'm hoping to get Bryan to help me with messurments tonight or tomorrow and get them posted. I'm thinking I'm going to have a Monday check in, that way I can be good on the weekend. Anyways just wanted to pop and say I'm doing GREAT!!!

much love!

YAY I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-13T11:15:00.001-07:00

I am so happy to annouce that I have accomplished what I have been training for ALL year!

I JUST WALKED/RAN MY FIRST 5K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't be happier!! I'm just so proud of myself!!!!!!!!!

just had to share the happy news!

much love!

The game is ON!!!!!

2008-08-31T20:44:00.000-07:00

So my brother and sister moved to Twin Falls and it's been SSSOOO hard to not have them here! I miss them SO much!!! It's just crazy. Anyways so Katie just signed up for curves. Which is AWESOME! Anyways I'm going to go visit them in 1 month and I told them that we should do a competion to see who can lose the most weight and/or inches. SO it's on! I missed all my chances to run or walk a 5k which REALLY upsets me however I'm NOT going to end this year on a bad note. Tara's starting preschool in a week and I have to take her every day so rather than drive back and forth I'm going to just go work out while I wait for her. :) So I'm hoping to lose some good weight! Anyways stay tuned, I'm hoping to post the numbers here in the next few days!

much love!

YAY for Spinning!

2008-07-29T21:58:00.000-07:00

So I went to the pedal and pump class yesturday at the apple. What is that you ask? Well it's where you spend 45 mins in spinning then do 45 mins of upper body weights. It was fun!!!! I did spinning awhile ago and didn't like it but I'm in much better shape now than I was then, which can I just say is weird? I mean then I weight like 40 lbs less than now....SO wierd how that works.....ANYWAYS.....this class was fun. I pushed myself so hard and was dripping but I LOVED it!!!!!!!! I thought I could do that again....I'm not that sore...............yet. But I woke up today and I really am NOT that sore! YAY!!! Anyways I'm hoping to make it a set routine!!!!! Tomorrow I'm hoping to weigh in and do messurments to see how far I've fallen.......yes I know for a FACT I have fallen, or at least should have...........anyways till then!

much love!

Testing....

2008-07-20T13:27:00.000-07:00

Ok so this blog hasn't been pulling up, I'm going to try posting this to see if it fixes things......please stand by we are now experiancing technical difficulties! HA HA HA....

I'm sad to say....

2008-07-12T22:22:00.000-07:00

Well I'm sad to say I think I'm going to miss ALL the 5Ks in my area. That makes me so sad! I feel like such a loser! I mean all I've managed to do was make me fat and more ugly and give myself false hope. I thought I could do this but it just seems like I can't. Why can't it be easier to lose weight? I mean it's easy to put it on, wouldn't you think in all true thinking it should be the same way to do the opposite, right? HA! I wish! Anyways I'm still trying to do more. My biggest problem isn't what I eat or if I exercise it's HOW I exercise. I LOVE LOVE LOVE running I really do, BUT I can't run that long, why you ask? Because I have a um hmm how do I put this? I was blessed with A LOT more than I'd like on my top....um ok fine I have HUGE boobs!!! LOL!!! I can't find a good decent bra that will support my ta tas without sqeezing them! LOL.....I found this site that said it had bras for big chested women for running and such....they went up to a D cup! HELLO!!! That's not BIG chested women!!!! Anyways, needless to say whenever I try to run more than 2 mins I have to stop because I have whiplash from myself!!!!!!! lol, really funny as it is it's so true and ANNOYING! Anyways I'm going to try and get out walking or do something. I've just got to. I hate how I feel about myself! So stay tuned!

Still plunking away...

2008-06-24T22:36:00.000-07:00

I'm still here on my weight loss but I'm kinda slacking...I haven't been feeling well...anyways tomorrow is weigh in day and I'll check in tomorrow........

More determined!

2008-06-08T16:07:00.000-07:00

Ok so I'm finally SICK of being this way....I've said it before and I'll probaly say it again but right now I feel really determined to get this stupid weight off! I'm just so sick of it. I'm sick of being over weight and hating myself. I'm sick of always being unhealthy and having so many problems. I'm sick of being embaressed and always thinking what others are thinking about me. I'm just plain sick of it! so tomorrow starts a new day! And new goals! I'm ditching most of my long term ones and working on my short term ones. My first is to get back into a exercise routine! I should have NO reason to do this! So to starting a new goal......

much love!

Trying to get back to things!

2008-06-02T10:22:00.000-07:00

Well I haven't been jogging like I need to, instead I've been involved in A LOT of yard projects, and let me tell you those have about killed me! OH MY CRAP!! I didn't realize it would be SO much work....at least I'm losing some weight! I have found a 5K in July! I'm SO nervous about it! I KNOW I'm totally not even close to being ready! I'm going to try and get up to jogging outside, but it's kinda hard to do that with 3 kids. Anyways I have to go do yard work I'm SO behind, I'll write more when I have more time! Till then...

much love!

Week whatever....

2008-05-27T09:42:00.000-07:00

Ok so my life has been SO freaking busy and although I hate using that as an excuse I have and I'm paying dearly for it. I'm just so upset about these numbers! I found a 5K I want to run in July and also one in Aug.....I gotta get my butt in gear!!! Ok here's my depressing and rather EMBARRASSING numbers!

Weight 245, a 5 lbs GAIN!!!

Chest 41.5 .5 in GAIN
Boobs 50 1 in GAIN
Arms 14.25 1.75 in GAIN
Thigh 27 2 in GAIN
Belly 50.5 5 in GAIN HOLY CRAP!
Hips 48 .75 in GAIN

Ok so I'm really REALLY upset about those numbers! Time to get my BRASS in gear!!!!!

Week 9...SUCKS!!

2008-05-06T17:39:00.000-07:00

I'm really slacking on this weight loss. I was going and doing SO well and then bam it's like someone hit a switch and switched all my motivation off. GROWL! I just don't know. Maybe I was doing too much too soon? I just want to lose this weight. I'm sick of being FAT and I'm sick of feeling so ugly! I had all my clothes set out last night so I could get up and job on the treadmil but then bam kids get sick, the girls actually. And they've been on me since then. I just don't know. Is there anyone that reads this that can help???? Oh well....I'm hoping to maybe get to the gym this week....I'm off to get kids....

Much Love

Week 8 already gone? Now on week 9?!

2008-04-27T21:18:00.000-07:00

Well week 8 came and went in just a blink of an eye! And let me tell you it SUCKED!! I've been so busy lately and will continue to be, (read on my other blog why) and I just can't seem to get my butt in gear. I've miss running though. The more I do it the more I miss it when I don't do it! Anyways last week was nasty with eating AND exercising so I'm hoping to do better. Our weather has FINALLY started to get better, knock on wood, and I hope it continues to stay that way, again knock on wood! I'm ready to be outside and do things. Anyways here's to a better week. I'm hoping for weight loss. The group of girls I chat with have changed the check in/weigh in day from monday to sat, I'm not sure I like sat so I might still be checking in here....we'll see. Anyways here's to better week all the way around!

much love!

Week 7...not such a good start.

2008-04-15T15:32:00.000-07:00

Well I haven't been feeling well for a little while....a few days so I haven't gotten any exercise in well GOOD exercise. But I'm happy to report I haven't gained any but then again I haven't lost any either. Poo. anyways I'm hoping to start to feel better so I can get back to jogging. I just can't do it while I'm sick. Anyways just a little update...more later....

much love!

Weigh in and messurements!

2008-04-08T07:57:00.000-07:00

Well I had my weigh in and messurments last night. one was great the other ok, I guess. Here's last week's numbers

weight 249
chest 41.5
boobs 49
arms 14
thigh 25
belly 46.5
hips 47.25

This weeks numbers....

Boobs 49 no change
Arms 13.5 1/2 in loss
Thigh 25 no change
Belly 45.5 1 in loss
Hips 47 1/4 in loss

So no THAT great but good.....I'm still happy with it. This week I'm hoping to get more running in, speaking for that it's time for me to go do that! Here's to another good week....

Much love!

Week 6....I'm so happy!

2008-04-07T09:01:00.000-07:00

GROWL! I just had it all typed up and tried to post this and it deleted it....oh well I'll just retype it again...it's gotta burn some calories right? lol

well this is week 6 since I started training for the 5k and week 2 since starting my iFit cds. I have to say that I LOVE those!! They are so awesome!! Just love the way they work and everything. It's like having a personal trainer at home.....Anyways I've been doing good with those. I did it today and I'm just so happy to get it done. I feel so good and good about ME after I'm done! I've been doing other things too. I've been taking a few classes at the local gym, the Apple. I want to try everything they have to offer. I've been feeling so great lately. I took Jordan and Tara to monster trucks on sat and ended up going up and down 70 stairs about 7 times, 2 of those with Tara asleep...that's an additional 37 lbs! I was so suprised and excited to realize I wasn't that winded. I mean I was but I recovered with in 30 secs! I was so proud of myself. Two months ago I would have been SO tired! I'm also so proud of me today. I ran at 5 mph for a min! that's HUGE for me! I've only been runing like 4 mph and today I did 5 and even more I did most of the workout at 4.7 mph!! I'm STOKED about that! It was awesome. I'd run about 3 mins and take a 30-60 sec break and go back...it was awesome. I'm expecting some great numbers this week. I'm going to run that 5k if it's the last thing I do!!!

I'm starting on my metformin this week. I've been having some problems with my blood sugars being out of control. It's so strange. I can eat crappy and not exercise and my bs are ok and good, I start to lose weight, exercise daily, and watch what I eat and they go sky high! So wierd to me! But I'm hoping with added met that I'll just lose more and more weight. I'm not looking forward to adjusting to it, I always end up with a headache for WEEKS....but looking forward to getting ME healthly! Anyways I need to go do house work.....stay tuned...tonight is weigh in and messuerments! I'm expecting some good numbers!!! Till then...

Much love!

I did get at least 10 mins in a day but not much over that. Yesturday it was a good day. I was pissy and decieded to run to get fustrations out. It was nice but today I am feeling it!!!! But it was SO nice to run!!! I really enjoyed it. Just reminded me that I really did miss it and I really REALLY enjoy running. Tomorrow is weigh in day and messurements. I haven't been posting like I wanted to...I haven't been doing messurements like I wanted to just cause I lost my tape messure but I'm thinking I'll go buy another one tomorrow and get some messurements.

Anyways I'm going to try and get on my treadmil today, even if I'm not jogging but just walking. I NEED to. Anyways I'm going to weigh in a little later....I doubt that I've lost anything, in fact I'd be SHOCKED if I haven't gained! Anyways I'll post that and messurements tomorrow.....

Week 1 Day 1 on my program

2008-03-04T07:39:00.001-08:00

Well last night I got a treadmil! WOO HOO! I'm so stinkin happy to have it here. Got it here and set up. I got up this morning ready to start training. My treadmil has this 5K button on it where it helps you train for a 5K or even 10K. I did that today and it was hard. It changed the incline all the time so I had to keep knocking it down but I did do the mph and it was hard....I didn' think I could jog for 3 mins straight....but....I DID IT!!!!! WOO HOO! GO ME! So I'm happy to report I've did it! I'm going to keep up with this program on my treadmil for now....I'm hoping to be able to get up to the incline...also you put in your weight and that changes how fast it goes to...so as I lose weight the mph will go up....I'm so excited! Anyways I'm off to start house work and take a shower!

Much Love!

2007-12-16T12:51:00.000-08:00

Well my ankle is finally starting to feel better so I'm *hoping* to get back into the swing of things. I've been really watching how much I eat lately since I haven't been able to workout. I've lost 5 lbs so far! YAY! Now if I could just add some exercise then maybe the weight can just come off. I've been really dragging lately though. I think it's cause I haven't felt well. I've been SO tired. But I'm hoping to add some exercise and fix that. Anyways I'm not throwing my goal, 20 lbs by Jan 5, out the window just yet. I've got 5, only need 15 more....I can do this!!! Who's with me????

Much love!

Gotta get my butt in gear!!!

2007-11-05T11:42:00.000-08:00

Well it's time to really start up this weight loss. I'm SO depressed about everything!!!! I had some pictures of me and the kids and I look SO fat! I hate it!!! So I got Katie (my bros fiance) on at the apple and we are on a mission to lose (at least) 20 lbs for her wedding!!! So I have until Jan 5 to lose some weight. My only problem is that the more and more I exercise the more and more kidney stones I have....so I guess my only option is to push through it! Which I have. So anyways anyone want to join me in my weight loss journy?!?!

Much love!

SO BUSY!!

2007-10-07T12:48:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone I've been SO busy with working in harvest and trying to catch up. I'll be updating all the kids sites, my blogs, and the family sites some come back and say hi! Don't forget to leave a comment! Much Love!!!

Weightloss back on!

2007-10-03T08:20:00.000-07:00

Well my weightloss has been put on hold for the last few weeks. But now that I'm caught up, for the most part, I get to get back to exercising. My brother is getting married in Jan and I'd really like to lose some weight for that. I've got to go get weighed today so I know where I'm starting at. I'm also headed to the gym a little later. Anyways stay tuned I'm hoping to start up weekly wegih ins on Wed with messurments on Thursday. Much love!

Weightloss going....um ok?

2007-09-23T12:13:00.000-07:00

So I haven't been around much. I haven't walked in the last week cause I've been bouncing in a spud truck. So as far as weightloss it's been on hold. Hmm does bouncing in a truck count as exercise??? lol I wish!! Anyways I'm hoping to get to the gym starting next week. Anyways I'll be back when I have more time....

Still doing good....

2007-09-02T10:15:00.000-07:00

Well I'm still doing good with walking. I've only missed a few days of walking. I noticed my pants are fitting differently. I haven't weighed myself just yet. I'm hoping to see a change. I just got on at the apple authetic club so I'm hoping to go there for a few days and exercise! I can't wait!!! I also started taking more of my meds. I'm going to talk to the doctor this week about getting on some other meds to help lose the weight. Anyways that's my quick update I need to go! Much love to you all!

Good start!

2007-08-24T08:47:00.000-07:00

Well so far I'm doing really good on my weight loss. I've so far lost 4lbs. Some other ladies in my neighborhood have kids Jordan's age. So we just put the kids on the bus and go for a walk. We normally are gone about 75 mins or more. The one lady went around in her car and it ended up being like 3 miles ONE WAY!! Pretty cool! The only down side is I'm exhuasted!!! AND I got a blister on my toe. No worries I still went walking, which I'm VERY proudy of!!! So I'm hoping to get this weight off! I started back on my metforin on Sunday. I have to get up to 2000 mg a day! Isn't that crazy? But I'd rather take pills than insulin shots. I'm thinking of asking about byetta. I hear that helps a lot with weight loss. But we'll see. Anyways that's what's up with me! Hope all is well with you all!

Much love!

Ugh bad appointment

2007-08-17T09:37:00.000-07:00

So I had my diabetic appointment on Wed and it didn't go well. I found out that there are four stages to being diabetic there's normal people, then it can turn into insulin resistant, then to pre diabetic (which is a really small area a lot of people skip this and just go from insulin resistant to diabetic) then to full blown diabetic. after many tests and such turns out I'm pre diabetic. but I'm online like 3 points from being diabetic. lovely huh? so anyways I HAVE to loss this weight. they put me back on metformin he wants me to get up to 2000 mg a day!!!! that's just crazy to me. I'm also on a..ok i'm suppose to be on a low carb diet and i'm suppose to eat 6 times a day! I can't do that so I'm just cutting back a lot, drinking tons of water and exercising a lot. so anyways I have to go back in 6 months and then if I haven't lost weight by then they'll retest and see if I need to go on insulin. SO if wanting to lose the weight to look and feel good wasn't enough motivation then by gosh not going on insulin is HUGE!!!!! so anyways i'm working my butt off. i need to lose at least like 50 lbs by march! So I got my work cut out for me.....but I've been doing good so far.....just got to keep thinking about all those needles and cost and such..

So here's to losing some weight so I can get HEALTHY!!!!!

Started finally!!!

2007-08-15T06:56:00.000-07:00

So I FINALLY got an exercise session in!!! I mean not like just walking or doing exercise but an actual video of me doing it.....it was so nice. Tiring but nice. I've bee trying to walk a lot at work and such, so I'm hoping to see a weight loss next week. I'm going to start doing stats on Wed but posting them hopefully Thurs. So here's to keeping it up!!!

Well I've kinda feel off the ban wagon. I haven't gone to the gym for almost a week, due to sick kids. I ordered a new Leslie Sansone dvd and I'm hoping to get it tomorrow or the next day. That way I can do at least something if I can't make it to the gym. Tomorrow I'm hoping I can get to the gym....They (my kids) seem to be doing better....I hope SO! Anyways I just need some support right now, I've seem to lost my motivation......

How cool is this?!

2006-02-08T13:06:00.000-08:00

So I decided I'd take my measurements since the scale was just upsetting me. I had them taken in Nov when I first started really working out here's what they were then...

Waist 43.5'
Hip 51.5'
Thigh 28'

And here's what it is now....

Waist 41.5'
Hip 48'
Thigh 26'

I just think that's cool!! I'm hoping it keeps going down!!!

Does anyone know a web site I can track that on???

New week...

2006-02-05T15:22:00.000-08:00

Well I'm getting ready to start a new week. I've started taking Relacore. I've noticed a HUGE difference in my mood. It's crazy how well I feel. I'm hoping that maybe it'll help with the weightloss. I also have noticed that it has seemed like I'm not eating that much. Well the supper bowl just came on so I'm headed off to watch it.

Oh on a side note how do you all change it to have cool back grounds?

Ok so after a really really REALLY bad week of just whatever...being depressed and having a hard time I've decied and come to terms that I know it's going to take a little time to get this weight off, and I'm ok with that. I'm going to go full force! I'm putting EVERYTHING I have in this!! I am going to lose this weight. Not for dh, not for kids, not for friends....but for ME!!!! I want this!!! I just have to say thanks to all my pals! You girls are awesome!!!! (I posted this on my slim in six group) I had a night out without kids last night and come home and bawled my eyes out. I spent a lot of night just thinking and crying. I was doing this all for the wrong reasons, not for me at all. This is now about me and for me...and I"m not giving up till I am a winner!!!!! So here we go, starting a new week with a bang!!! Thanks again girls!!!!

How does that work out??

2006-01-23T20:24:00.000-08:00

Ok so I went to the gym today, first time since last monday! YAY! It was such a GREAT workout!!!! Anyways I get there and decieded I'd weigh myself...so I step on with shoes on and it says I lost 3 lbs...I think YAY! So I take off my shoes and weigh without shoes and what does it show??? That I gained a lb! I'm like what the crap!? So I go workout and then come back and do the same thing and it shows the same thing...lost 3lbs with shoes on and gained one with shoes off....I'm trying to figure out how that works out??? Got me baffled! I mean what the freak?! That's so messed up!!! LOL. I just can't figure it out. Oh well, I"m going with shoes on! LOL!!!

So my workouts have been awesome. I started with barely being able to walk on the treadmill at a low speed for 30 mins. I've worked up to running. I started with just a few seconds and today I ran for....drum roll please.....2 mins!!!! And I even went 3 once cause I lost track of time!!!! I was like holy crap!!! GO ME GO ME!!!! That's just aweomse to me! I wasn't out of breath as I thought I would be. It just made my day!!! Anyways I'm off to play with kids just had to post that! I'm going to re-weigh tomorrow at the gym and see if its the same....

Till next time!

Well this week sucked!

2006-01-21T08:58:00.000-08:00

Well with me being sick I haven't been to the gym but once this week. I wanted to go but just didn't feel up to it. I'm hoping next week will be different. I have been doing better at watching my calories but it seems even with me watching them I'm always SO hungry!!! I don't know if I'm not just eating the right things to help me be full or what. OH well. I'm doing good on water too. Just need to get that exercising in! Next week should be better. I'm hoping to go everyday next week! Maybe *try* the 2 hour workouts. I just don't want to over do it where I'm still recovering....well I need to go and get breakfast!! I'm STARVING!!!!

Till next time.....

I hate being sick!

2006-01-17T12:39:00.000-08:00

Well if you read my other blog you would know I don't feel good. I thought I'd post a little more on here. I just feel like crap today. Kids shared their little cold. UGH! I don't feel like exercising at all I just feel like taking a nap! Maybe I've been working out too much? NAH, I don't think that is it. I just think I need to rest maybe....I don't know. I don't want to workout but I don't want to miss a workout! LOL....I just feel so tired today...I think I'll do a little something, does house work count? Well I hope so cause I've done A LOT today...speaking of that laundry is done again! Dang has it been 99 mins!?

Till next time!

My goals this week...

2006-01-15T20:47:00.000-08:00

Well I wasn't able to get my sister to take my kids. She thinks me working out so much and watching my calories..or cutting them is just silly. It really upset me when she was like this is stupid. Oh well. She's not the one with the health problems. I'm hoping to maybe get a couple of 2 hour workouts in. The kids can be in the day care for up to 3 hours. I'm not sure if I can but I'd like to try the 2 hour workouts. Maybe if I can't get them in I'll do more at home. I'm going to try and drink more water. Maybe we'll see the scale move. Well I'm off to bed, with all the other things I'd like to do with my weightloss I'm going to *try* and get at least 8 hours of sleep! HA! I know sounds silly but anything's possible right?

Well so far so good, so why won't the scale move?

2006-01-14T10:22:00.000-08:00

Ok I've been doing really well. Staying within my calories and getting exercise in, so why won't that darn scale move? I worked out really hard yesturday and it felt SO good! So this is what I know for sure. 1- I'm so addicted to the internet and blogging and 2- I LOVE LOVE LOVE to go to the gym!!!!!! So you'd think that would work in my favor right? It's really starting to bother me. I know I know muscle weighs more than fat...blah blah blah....and I am losing inches cause I'm in a size 18 when I started I was size 24....but still it doesn't LOOK like I'm losing weight....just don't know...what gives ya know? Oh well I'm hoping to talking my sister in taking my kids so I can go workout for an hour today...we're going shopping and I really REALLY want to get my workout in!!! Well off to dress kids!

First post.....

2006-01-13T16:26:00.000-08:00

Well here we go I now have 3 different places I blog at. Although one I don't really use. I'll use this one just for my weightloss. Just to vent and get all those feelings out.....So I got my workout in today. 1 hour of good cardio. It was so nice. I really do enjoy going to the gym. I just wish the scale would should it too! LOL Well I'm off Tara is crying...till next time!
