So... last night, I finally got around to throwing a dumbbell on my scale to see how accurate it was. It was OVERESTIMATING by 2 lbs.!! Which means, I REALLY weigh 159 and not 161!!!

That also means...I'm officially half done, woo hoo! 19 more to go!

I just want to know when I lost those 2 lbs... sneaky weight loss, that's what I'm callin' it. Thanks, broken scale! lol I'm going to just move the ticker (I have an analog scale) 2 lbs to the left so it'll be more "accurate" so I don't have to see a bigger number when I'm really less!

    Awesome girl!!! I wish I was close to my halfway mark but have a lot to go. I am 1.5 lbs. away from losing 50 altogether though :bigsmile:

    I'm gonna get one!! Only because I want to see the fraction of a pound because sometimes I feel discouraged when I don't see a loss because mine only shows up 1 lb. and I know if I'm losing less and can SEE it, I'll be more encouraged. :happy: BUT, my reward is actually highlights. I've been 161 for so long (or so I thought) and I wanted to wait until I was officially under 160 (which was my goal) to reward myself so I felt like I really earned it. I feel like I earned it now! haha

    msciccone1 - DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! Halfway or not, 50 is a huge accomplishment!! I'm only aiming to lose 40 total... geez. I'm so proud of you right now! That's so exciting. You should change your ticker. :tongue:

    Just do it!! It could be a good thing, either way. Don't live your life in denial or oblivion! I've had to suck up my pride so much on this journey but it's been worth it and it continues to be worth it.
