Rambling ahead....
OK.. as many of you know, I have a scale that I am pretty sure has multiple personalities. I have to step on it at least 5 times to get 2 numbers that are the same. This has been a source of frustration for me. The scale is at least 15 years old if not older. Well tonight I picked up a new one.
Since I always weigh more at the Doc's office than I do at home, I was fully expecting the new scale to weigh me higher than the one with the multiple personalities. For the first time in its life, that scale weighed me the same 5 times in a row! Figures. Anyway - I weighed myself on the old scale and then on the new scale. I wanted to make sure that the amount the old scale said I lost was correct and I would adjust my beginning weight to reflect the difference.
11 lbs different! So, that means I started on this weight loss journey at 262 lbs and not 251! I checked my card from the doctors office from my physical - I keep copies in my files and there was an 11 lb difference on that date to what I weighed at home too.. so, I can assume that the new scale is correct.
<sigh> I guess that this isn't all bad. I still have lost weight. I have still gone down from a size 22 to a size 18. I can't complain really - but is sure was nice to have seen a 218 when I snuck on the scale Friday morning vs. the 229 tonight! Tomorrow is my official weigh in day. So we will see
I adjusted my ticker to reflect my status more accurately and adjusted my excel workbook too.
