          HOLY COW!

          I didn't really realize how 'addicted' I was to the scale! It took all my will not to get on that thing!!

          But, I made a commitment to you - and myself - to stay away!

          Thanks all!

            rebbekka, thank goodness that will power doesn't have to kick in yet! i'm very familiar with the addiction so i know how hard this can be.

            remember, the scale challenge starts on sunday and that will be the official day to weigh [see the lass on the calendar? she's our little reminder].

            barrnone, glad to have you with me

              Ah! So we don't have to stick to 'walking by' the scale till the 21st of this month! I see!!

              Ok ... but I will attempt to stay off periodically till that time!
