I know I already weighed in yesterday, but I was down 3 lbs to 230 this morning so I am updating a day late. We'll see if I can keep going down, that hasn't been happening lately. Been bouncing between 235 and 225 for the last 3 months and i really need to get the scale moving in the right direction.
