fifth meeting

All but one were accounted for last night with a total lose of 7.4 lb. for the week and 56.6 lb. for the past five weeks. I personally accounted for the .8 of last week's lose. Not a real good week for the gals but we will keep plugging away at it. Personally, I have set a 1 year goal to lose 30 lb. I think that is reasonable and attainable. As long as we are loosing and not gaining we are headed in the right direction!

One thing, I expected to lose between 2 and 3 lb. last night (according to my home digital scales). I left the meeting encouraged for the most part but a little disappointed deep down inside at the .8 lb. lose. I got to thinking… They have 3 scales there that you can weigh in on and I know they are not always in the same place because this is actually a church auditorium that we meet in and they have to set all this stuff up each week for the meeting. So, there is really no way to know if I am weighing in on the same set of scaled every week and I wonder if they are all the same. So next week I plan to be a little annoying and ask to be weighed on all three to see if they agree. If they do not (which I suspect) I will ask the ladies in charge if they can mark each scale with a different color dot (or something to that effect) so that we can be sure we are weighing in on the same scales each week and getting accurate results.

Does that make sense to you?

By the way, I am almost 1/3 of the way to my goal of 30 lb., 9.2 lb. total lose so far :~)
