Tomorrow is the weigh in/measurements. Oh I hope it's gonna be good. I can't really tell on my clothes cause I gained weight and didn't buy better fitting clothes so I mostly wore the one pair of pants that fit me or sweats. For work I wear elasticated waistband pants and a baggy top (dog groomer, normal clothes would have far too much hair stick to it), then I go to the gym and wear stretchy pants and shirt, then to the barn and wear stretchy pants and baggy shirt, then home and wear PJ's.

i couldn't imagine 4 almonds being a satisfying snack... very impressive if they are..

You are doing great so far! Keep up the good work and good luck on your weigh in tomorrow

Thanks Gym, I am a bit nervous about it. Just hope I didn't do all this work for nothing.
