Default Home scale was totally wrong! 19lb loss?!!

Well all...it appears I have lost much more than I thought.

Apparently my home scale isn't worth crap anymore and I am going to try and find a new one.

I started on the 15th at 300.6 per my doctors office. I got on the scale today and I was ...drum roll...

280 even.

What the heck. And they looked at me....and did it again....and then a third time. I went and got my home scale...and showed them and they said my floor must be off balance or the scale is broken now....

19lbs??!!??

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo

I kept weighing at home the last week going I feel "thin" as in not bloated and belly full....like before atkins. My clothes were really loose ....and this one pair of pants was fitting loose. And I was getting frustrated.

Wow! What an awesome surprise! My doctors scale is usually 4-5 lbs MORE mostly because I have on clothes and have been drinking water....you really DO need a new home scale! You must be over the moon!

Successfully did Atkins in 1998 using 1992 copy of the book...before it was "hip". Lost 60lbs, exercised daily, felt and looked great. And then I moved in with a junk-food loving man, my mom got sick and passed away, then I suffered a spinal cord injury, and junk-food dude left me...and now I weigh 292lbs. That's 22lbs MORE than I weighed the first time around. It's 10 years later...I know this will work for me again.

I am actually in shock'!! lol

The nurse looked at me and said its always 10 lbs heavier not nearly 15 lbs lighter! She said if I can't find a scale today that reflects what they have to just come in and weigh weekly with them.

Wooooooo I am going to go for a walk to celebrate then have a nice healthy lunch!

Since a few people messaged me....I am jogging twice a day. Once early am for approx 2 miles, and then before bed for 2 miles. I calorie count to about 1550 calories per day and then I also do sit ups...right now I am at 150 per day....I am trying to work up to 250.

Oh my goodness, congratulations!! Very proud of your achievement in such a short period of time. I have to try the jogging/sit ups also and see if I could lose as fast as you have!

I tink a huge part of it is the amount of excercise I am doing in combination with the diet. Doctor said it has to be.
