I decided that I wanted to buy a nice scale with memory features and the ability to measure body fat. (I know it is inaccurate, but it is at least an indication). I suspected that my old scale was not doing the trick: it has been in storage for a while, dropped and turned around. Besides, it was never a high-quality deal. Sometimes it said that I was 70lbs, which is no where near true. Anyway, I bought this new one and stepped on only to find that it reads 20LBS <gasp> higher then my old one. I wanted to throw it away immediately. So needless to say I am very very discouraged. The goal seems absolutely impossible. I would like nothing more than to stay in my house for 2 years and emerge missing 50% of myself. SIGH....that won't happen.
