Day #155 - A Potential Solution / Side Shot Day!

Yesterday I mentioned that I am currently having some issues with my scale. I accidentally dropped it this weekend and I am now having trouble getting a correct reading. This morning, I stepped on the scale and the numbers went from 239 lbs to 235 lbs and back up to 237 lbs very quickly. Well it is official that I can not get a clear reading anymore with this scale. This morning I had decided to go back to the store and purchase another scale that is the same exact model. I figured that this scale was right on point with all of my weigh-ins since I purchased it. Only if I didn't drop it, but things happen. Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up getting out of work late and was not able to purchase a new one today. Knowing that it was too late, I ended up going home to change for the gym. While getting changed, I was bending over to tie my shoes and I realized that I still have another scale at home that I have hardly used at all, that was still under my bed. It is a Weight Watchers scale that my brother had bought me a little while ago when my first scale crapped out. I think I might have found a solution to my most current scale drama. I am going to use his scale tomorrow morning and then confirm, with the scale at the gym, to make sure it is still accurate. Wish me luck.

Side Shot Day

Back by popular demand.......it is side shot day! To bring everyone new to the blog up to speed, I take a side photo of myself on the first day of every month. I then take that side shot and put it next to the side shot from the previous month, as well as the side shot from the first day of my mission. I feel that physically seeing my production over the past few months, gives me motivation to keep on going strong. Please let me know if you see any difference in the photos.

Day #155 - 238.2 lbs

Day #125 - 247.6 lbs

Day #1 - 302 lbs

To also add a little extra into the mix, I will also include my front photo from tonight compared to my front photo from Day #1 of the mission.
