How deceiving the scale can be!

Yesterday I was on MFP logging my food while at work. My co-workers became interested and began to make their own! It was pretty exciting. One girl had not weighed herself in forever, she's very tall and thin...she has no need to be concerned about being over weight she looks amazing! We happen to have a scale at work and she weighed herself. Believe it or not she and I are the exact same weight! Complete opposite body types! I always knew not to get hung up on a number and to be more focused on losing inches rather than pounds, but yesterday really sealed the deal. If she and I stood next to each other there is no way anyone would guess we're the exact same weight!
Just wanted to share in case anyone is feeling a bit disappointed with the number looking back at them.
