Everything Eaten Yesterday

Our scale is definitely not working right so I don't trust the below number. However, if you take away last week's supposed gain, then I'm only 2.2 lbs. less than that -- a far more reasonable difference. Either way, the new scale should be here by the 16th. My measurements are decent but I still think it's underreporting by a good 20 lbs. or so.

Difference from last week: up 37.6 lbs. to correct evil inaccurate scale which is now on its way to the dump

I suspect that I did get into the 180s at some point, but no lower. So it's a slide, but not as dramatic as it appears at first blush. Time to get back to basics!

Oh, what a pain in the patoot!

But, you're still doing well, by any measure.

Thanks.

Yanno, there was a time where I'd've been really, really disappointed by this, and would've practically blamed myself.

But it's a piece of faulty equipment and nothing more. It was a big, loud, satisfying clunk when the garbagemen threw it into the back of the truck. Onward to greater glories!

there's a song in there somewhere

you've lost a person, now you're working on dumping another - somewhat smaller - one

hamburgboy and I will continue to watch for the daily bag of salad being reported (some people love the Cheerios, this part of the Canajun support team loves the bag o salad)


(does the new scale have a GPS?)

Ha, it would be fun if it did. Actually, one of my diet pals suggested that my coworkers invent a scale which, when you don't lose, tells you all of your other wonderful accomplishments so that you don't get discouraged.

And now, ahem, for the Cheerios, salad (etc.). I had no idea there was such a thing as diet groupies. May I buy you a Tab, lovely lady?
