Posted by C at 11:58pm Nov 10 '09Today I weighed myself. After seeing Heather today, I saw a scale by the water fountain that I hadn't noticed before. So, I decided to weight myself.
The scale seemed kinda old. It was one of those with the sliding weights and the bar. It was an old Detecto scale. So, I've been 300+ for quite some time now, usually hovering around the 310-320lb range. So naturally, I slid the bottom weight to '300' and started moving the top weight from side to side. Hmm. That's odd. Move the bottom weight to 250. Well, the scale read "264" (I already had the top weight at 14).
I couldn't believe it, so I asked them if there was another scale, they had another scale in the shower room. It's also one of those old Detecto scales but it's a "chair scale". So, I set the weights to 264 and sat in it, and yup... 264 seems to be what I weight.
I've been half-assed (ie, not really) trying to lose weight so it's nice to know that in the past year or so since I've weighed myself that I've lost 56lbs.
I know that I've lost weight (some clothes that I've got, fit better) but I didn't realize it was that much weight.
