Well, I went back to the recycling center to weigh in. I was greeted by the same worker that had let me weigh in initially. He told me that the scale I had originally weighed in on was found to have a bad load cell, and he estimated that my starting weight was off by approximately 18 lbs, so my real starting weight was 433, not 451. He said that they got the scale fixed and recalibrated.
Well when I stepped on the scale today, I almost lost it....I could not believe my eyes...the scale read
399, I was jumping and fist pumping like a nut all the way back to my car.
My wife said, "you look happy, how much did you weigh?", holding back tears of joy, I proudly told her 399 lbs! ! ! ! ! ! !
That is 34 lbs in two weeks, and for the first time in over 9 years, I am under 400 lbs.
God Bless everyone, and stay strong, this stuff really works! ! ! ! ! ! !
