Not a charger problem! Just a two left thumbs problem when it comes to figuring out how to copy and paste and zoom and stuff like that. I'm old and this is my first smartphone. (OK, not really old but old enough to not be millennial!).

Oops--Sorry that was FerryGirl with the charger problem who was trying to edit on her phone.

Smartphones are just trouble all around!

Ok - guess I'll start counting ounces as well.

I admit that part of the fun of this thread to me is the back and forth among the rankings. We all know that everyone's weight bounces around, even if you have an overall downward trend. So what's the difference between .2 and .4, right? I used to go to the baseball games in D.C. and during every game they have the "Presidents Race" where the booster team dresses up in giant foam heads of the early presidents and they race along the first base foul line. Everyone in the stands cheers on their favorite and first one is ahead then another, and Teddy Roosevelt never wins. He still has a lot of die-hard boosters, though. The race is so popular it has its own wikipedia page. This challenge kind of reminds me of that race: It's silly and fun and everybody gets cheered on as we bounce back and forth with our .2s and .4s.

So, if you feel like you'll be more in on the fun to count ounces, do it! But if it will just make you crazy and won't be fun, then don't!

Anyway, no change for me today.

Finally below 250! A big set point for me. Probably won't stick but I like to see it happen!

I can't do ounces because I have an old fashioned doctor's scale. I can just measure to the half pound.

WooooHooooo Jschwab.... I'm over the moon for you, I can feel your heart in my heart, what a glorious day to see a number that reflects you're going in the right direction and a milestone has been passed. Yes sometimes a bounce up and down happens, however, you've seen it so you know it can become real..... I'm super proud of you!
Speaking of bouncing I'm up 6 oz today, so you get to be in first place! I see this as a win-win for you....
