probably did deserve it, it's a matter of realizing strengths and values. sometimes you need to talk to people like kate and say help me with what i need to do. >> good idea. ladies, thank you. >> nice seeing you. if you've never been to punxsutawney, pennsylvania, sara will take us there. right after this.

important because it keeps you accountable. you don't want to make yourself nuts. when you do weigh yourself, at least once a week, you at least can see if a couple pounds start to creep up and you can rein it back in before it gets out of control. we can do this! >> wear the same pair of jeans every day. they never lie to you. scales do but your jeans don't. >> sometimes the shower, the dryer can tighten them up a little bit but you're exactly right. >> why do you have to argue with me? >> i love you. >> put your essays in, you guys, at today.com. joy wants to hear your stories. >> big prize. >> up next, guess who's here? >> bobbie! good morning. i'm meteorologist chris warren with your forecast. looking across the country, we have a chance for rain. anywhere you see the green, the white indicates a chance for
