No change from previous.
Do we *need* two separate threads for this, though?

Well, I want to keep the support separate, because some people aren't participating in the challenge.

I... actually don't have a scale; the weight I posted was from a weigh-in at a doctor's office...

I'll try and get one.

This evening, I weighed...

306lbs.

Motherfucker say WHAT?

And then we tried a scale weight on it. Turns out it's accurate in smaller weights, not larger. I am nowhere NEAR 307lbs.

Just checked again - 310. I did not gain 3lbs in two hours. I had ONE gummy bear and a glass of water which I promptly peed out.

Find good and accurate scales. Monkey's experience should explain why. Most home scales are rather inaccurate especially because they can be damaged or just poorly made.

188 this morning.

Also, maybe redudant, but does help with the margin of error. I have a digital scale that I usually weigh myself three times in a row on just to make sure I'm getting the same number. Every now and again I get a different reading the first and secd time, so the third comfirms which is right.

Time for a Mini Challenge!!! These aren't going to have prizes, other than getting you closer to your goal, but they will be very helpful and good for you!

This week's mini challenge will be to go for a 30 min walk every day. It doesn't matter if you do it outside, on a treadmill, around your apartment, at work, the mall...as long as you're walking for at least 30 min each day.

The gummy bear? better than a kidney stone, I guess.
