    4 month milestone

    We made it 4 months now, my hair shedding is increasing an driving me crazy. But I haven't lost a oz in 3 weeks now. Hoping that will change real soon. I think we need to pat ourselves on the back for doing so good. Do we both need to keep our head up an push forward with our new healthy life style.
