Lightweight issues - Didn't see that coming

[shmuelisms]

I've been really proud of myself. In the last 4 months I've added two new holes to my belt, taken it IN by ~5cm (2"). I've been very careful with eating less starches and junk. The other day, being at the doctor and noticing the nifty-keen BMI machine, I weighed myself (BMI is BS). I'm now 87 Kg (192 lbs.). Only thing is, that about two years ago,

Easy. More of your brain has turned to water and has drained away.

You're NOT paying attention dude. What surprised me, dude, was that I did NOT loose weight.

If they have a different scale, or you had your appointment at a different time of day...wearing different shoes, etc. Sometimes the nurse will round up or down, etc.

As I wear relatively heavy work-shoes (a size 12 Blundstone), I'm always careful to take my shoes off. But yes using a different scale is a reasonable factor. Just that I was expecting a MAJOR shift in weight, like maybe 5-6 Kg (11-15 lbs.). I mean it IS two inches off the waist. I doubt there would be that much a difference between scales.

If I may ask, who are you? You can reply by private message if you prefer.
