Weight Reduction PHASE 1
So I purchased a hanging scale because I was curious and wanted to know the actual data... real weight #s rather than guesstimates.
So the scale came in the mail this morning, I've weighed everything I've removed and I have been surprised by the weight of some items, and overall I have been pleasantly impressed with the results...
Total PHASE 1 Weight Reduction = 112.27 lbs.
