February 1, 2010 - Day 29

So, I weighed myself today, and I've decided that my home scale is completely unreliable. At times it is 2.5 pounds less then the gym scale; other times it is only .5 pounds less. So, I've decided to only use the gym scale to measure my progress. Too bad I always weigh more on the gym scale. :) But, I figure it is more accurate.

So, as of today, my weight is 141.7 pounds. On first glance it looks like I didn't lose any weight this past week, but I need to remember that last week's weight report was done on the home scale. When I weighed myself on the gym scale last week, I weighed 142.5 pounds. So, I lost about a pound this week.

What's also important for me to remember is that since the gym scale is always more than my home scale, I probably didn't weigh 148 at the beginning of this journey, but instead more like 150-151 pounds. So, total approximate weight loss in this first month (I'm only a few days shy) is about 9-10 pounds. Woo-hoo!
