My first weigh-in

I finally bought a scale.  Our original one wasn't working anymore.  So I haven't been able to weigh myself.

I'm not sure what my first official weight was.  I didn't do it very accurately.  It was the end of the day, when I'm always heaviest with water retention.  I had just taken a shower at Cinderella's house, so my hair was wet and I had a big heavy wet beach towel wrapped around me.  I was really unhappy with the number and I think that is what kicked this whole thing off.

To account for all of the issues above, for my starting weight on myfitnesspal, I entered 5 pounds less than that number.

Two weeks into this, on Saturday morning, I weighed myself.  This time, I did it in the morning.  Without extra clothing/towels weighing me down.  According to myfitnesspal, I've lost 8.5 pounds.  But from that original number, I'm 13.5 pounds down.

I still have a long way to go.  But seeing a loss still feels like a small victory to me.  Here's to more small victories in the future.

(I've made up my mind that I'm going to weigh myself every other Saturday morning to gauge my weight loss efforts. There is too much fluctuation in the day to day water weight to do it any more frequent than that. So expect these posts every two weeks.)
