I lost five pounds in one minute today.
No, I didn't amputate anything.
My new balance-beam scale arrived today. I thought I had ordered the HealthOMeter 402LB, but what showed up is a 402KL. The only difference is that the KL has a dual scale for pounds and kilograms, so this is fine. Took about 10 minutes to assemble, most of which I spent looking for the right nut driver because I didn't want to use the stamped metal wrench that came with it.
I weighed myself on the old scale and got 375 pounds. Then I stepped over to the new scale and got 369+1/4 pounds (+/- 1/4 pound). So then I took a leak and came back. The old scale now said 373.5 (it reads in 0.5 pound increments, which I've been rounding up in my measurements) and the new one balanced dead-on at 369. I've decided to assume that all the old readings are 5 pounds high.
UPDATE: I've adjusted all previous Weight Check posts to read five pounds lower, as an estimate of my true weight at the time.
