[marina294]

sorry you feel tired but you are so close your goal of 161lb scary when i look at your 70 days to go as kinda hoping to lose as much as possible by then too seems such a small amount of time now

 

[August3]

I know, Marina, time is flying by. I'm noticing more the effect of exercising on my body shape more than any significant reductions on the scales. Feel as if I will never get into the 150's at this rate

Hope your wee ones are back to full night's sleep and that my wee girlie gets past this bout of teething soon.
