I am about ready to throw this scale out the window. Today it finally read 158.8 but my afternoon reading is the same 161.4-.8. So I'm most likely back at 159 something or another. I cut back on my liguids since I felt like that was an issue. I started up on Slim Fast today. So we'll see. At this point based on the one pound a week thing I have figured out I should be at 157 something now.
