Ok so like I said I was expecting the scale today, well its here! I heard the mail truck pull up and the scale was in the house and unwrapped in record time, batteries in it and off I went to the hard kitchen floor, stood on the scale and...
Before I get to that, the scale is very sturdy upon my first assessment, it better be! it supports 550 lbs, it is very thin but very wide. I am happy with its construction so far (its been about 45 minutes that I have had it) so we shall see. it has a very pleasing voice that states the weight once its calibrated (probably won't use this feature) so far so good.
So..where was I, oh yeah, I stepped onto the scale and it said in that pleasant voice five hundred thirteen pounds. a huge smile had to come over my face as I was relieved that it held me and gave me a number! first time in history someone was happy to hear that they weighed five hundred thirteen lbs lbs? maybe, maybe not lol. I decided to get on and off a few times and the next time said 511.3, then 512.1, then 511.6 so I am going to call the start weight (start from today anyways I will never know what my real start weight was) 512 this is the starting weight for me as of 01-22-08.
I am so happy to finally know what that magical weight is,..magical yeah thats it lol really I am happy that I know now and can check weekly, I might weigh in tomorrow morning when I wake up because right now I have had at least 2 glasses of water and my breakfast so I want a clean morning weight and I may start the weight off there. I haven't decided yet, either way WOW I am freekin 512 lbs....thats a lot of potatoes! the bright side of this? my target weight is 275 lbs and I look decent at 300! lol at least I am not shooting for 180 or something like that! I could write all day about how excited I am to know my weight! so before I do that I will end this post here and I will probably post up my exercise later on. 512! man! I gots a long road ahead of me :) Thanks for all of the support and as always thank you for reading.

I knew you'd be happy. You now have a start place- makes all the work that much more rewarding cause now you can track it. I am soooo happy for you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! And, KNOW, you have lost weigh the last 3 weeks. We'll never know how much, but you DID!!!!

I'm happy you're happy babe. Now I'll have to weigh myself on it (grrr) since I know the $20 walmart non-digital POS scale I have has got to be off. Hope it's on the higher end. ha ha ha.

YAY!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited for you! I knew you'd weigh less than you thought! I think we all see ourselves as bigger than we really are. Maybe it's not just the camera that adds 20 pounds....maybe the mirror adds that much, too!! ;)
This is what you've been waiting for. Now, you can have a literal starting point to go from! Work some on that bike today, drink you some more water, then weigh yourself first thing in the morning.
Congrats. I'm really happy for you.
Congrats on getting the scale. I was the same for years, knowing I was over 330, but not knowing where I was. Over 400 was where I was when I finally stepped on a scale that would give me a weight.
ReplyDeleteof course, as usual, I thank you all for your words of encouragement. I was honestly fearful that I was close to 600 lbs, man I never thought I would be happy to find out I am 512!
