    ***tossing confetti*** congratulations on your loss!! I always expect to hear a round of applause when I see great numbers on the scale. (But then I’d be embarrassed because I usually do my weigh in’s naked. 🙂 )

      That cracked me up!!! And I weigh in naked too, so no thanks on the applause. LOL

    Congratulations!

      Thanks Heidi! It was a nice surprise and definitely makes me want to stick with weights!

  5. How to Lose Weight – Week Five » 110 Pounds and Counting

    […] When I injured my IT band last September and had to stop running for two months I made the decision to start weight lifting. I did it to stay sane and keep me busy until I could run again. A few weeks later I stepped on the scale to see a 4 pound loss. I was shocked. I hadn’t lost that much weight in one month in YEARS. I know that it was entirely because of weights. […]
