Monday is my official weigh-in day and I use the scale at work -- it's a slidey-thing likethe doctor's scale so I figure it's accurate. I try to weigh in as soon as I arrive -- breakfast at home, and the official potty stop before heading to the scale -- even a few drops could make a difference, I reckon!

For the first number of months, I wore the same suit every Monday but it got so big and bulky that the woman who sits just outside the door where the scale is kept suggested that I change into a smaller outfit and I could just "keep" the pounds that were lost with the extra fabric -- just like my extra weight, that extra fabric is gone for good so I convinced myself she was right! No shoes and no jacket.
