Ok ladies I have to report that I took your advice and quit jumping on that darned scale every day! I also got serious about tracking my food with Weight Watchers online. I pulled a pair of summer slacks off the hanger this morning and dreaded putting them on and low and behold they were loose around the waist! I weighed myself just to see and I have lost 6 pounds since my original post. So I feel like a big crybaby for complaining in the first place. I just needed to be patient and pay more attention to what I'm putting in my mouth.
