Another week of Nutrisystem down, and another pound down to match! I love that I continue to see the scale inch it’s way down each week. While I wish it was taking the stairs two at a time, I do know that what took 9 months to put on won’t come come off in 9 days, and I’m still very pleased with my success. Continue reading »
