Good news, and bad news! I purchased a new scale today and the good news is I have lost 15 lbs so far with MFP over the last 40 days! Bad news is that my old scale was not working correctly... For years I thought my weight was 225, but it was really 20lbs higher higher! Time to reset my goals and double down to reach my goal of 200lbs....

    Not so happy to learn I was 240... But I am excited to have lost 15 lbs and feel better than I've felt in years! 2013 will be my year for the fitness and family! Goals set and ready to make it happen!

    :noway: I would have tossed the new scale! :laugh: Don't you just hate paying for something that makes you feel bad.:sad:
    Bright side, it was only off by 20 just think if it was 50:sick: Good luck reaching your goal and if you need some help staying motivated, I just purchased a new pair of steel toe boots. :wink: Feel free to add me as a friend if you dare! :-) lol
