Yes it is strange when you think you ate bad and the scale goes down, that must have something to do with metabolism with the spike in calories..I try to have a day or two where I let them go a little higher. BTW I am wearing a pair of Jeans I haven't worn in 4 years...yeah. Haven't checked the scale ina while figured I am happier just with noticing the clothes feeling better. May attempt the scale on Friday. Have fun in Chicago!! Welcom tvlady, glad you are with us as you may see me and Jenny get busy and miss a day or two but we catch up.
