Yay, we're 4! One more and we'll have a basketball team. Then we can challenge those who weigh daily (like... umm, meeeeeee ) and do at them for a whole week!

Jimmie, will we have training sessions?

Default Re: Semi Annual WEIGH? NO WAY! CHALLENGE #6

LOL I am so horribly bad about weighing myself! I step on the scale first thing in the morning, mid day, before bed. I seriously need a challenge to NOT do this!
