Weight-Loss SELF magazine challenge

Weight-Loss
Way to go Mal!

I finally figured out how to "restart" the Self Challenge!
Even tho I've been doing the "1 Month Makeover" for a week now, I'll treat that as a practice for the challenge!
 
it's be a way to go if the scale actually did something... I don't buy their calories burned ... but I keep entering the numbers in hopes of winning some sort of prize :D
 
I was commenting on your workouts! Even if the scale dosn't want to cooperate, that exercise is still quite good for ya!
