Doctor's visit #3 and Diet, Day 14

Once again, before today's doctor visit, I weighed myself at home. My scale said 284. If that held up, it would mean I had lost another 8-10 pounds, and I was skeptical. For this visit, I was back in the same room where I was initially weighed in at 306, which seemed significantly higher than my home scale. And I weight in today at 290. Only 4 pounds less than last week (only?), but a large difference between home & office scales.

I told the girl that I was pretty sure there was a significant difference between the scales in their office, since one nearly matches my home scale & one is higher by 5-6 pounds. So, from now on, since I cannot guarantee that I will be on the same scale at every office visit, I'm going to track my weight by my home scale. Even if it's not all that accurate, I just want consistency.

But at least judging from visit #1 to visit #3, there was a 15+ pound difference on that same scale, so that gives me a good idea where I stand. 15 pounds in 2 weeks is fantastic, if I do say so myself. Doesn't really matter if it was 11+4 or 8+7, as long as the trend continues in the same direction.

My blood pressure checked in at 120/76, and I'll take that any day & be happy. 2 weeks in a row of good results there.

Body fat measured at 55.3%, but again, I just don't put any stock in the method used and I basically count that as unchanged until/unless I see a change of 10% or more and it is sustained over several visits.

I have already noted my cardio for today below, so I had better get up off my posterior & get to it. 30 minutes, coming up!
