Week 6 Weighin and Updates
Weight: 291 lbs - Only a half pound loss this week, but it is only natural for things to slow down about this point. I had gained a pound mid-week so I was worried about the weighin today. I have been very very very exact with the food I had t...

March 1 Weighin - New Beginning
