I weighed about 243 lb. My new diet will start on February 17 and I will take a break from it on/around Easter.

Weekly Weigh-in, February 1, 2010

I weighed about 241 on Monday. Lots of snacks and no particular diet and I am hovering around 245 on Wednesday. Had to loosen the belt a notch. I am still eating on an investment protection basis. I have a lot of marinades and sauces that take up a lot of shelf space. Been eating barbecue chicken, sugary marinades on pork chops, that sort of thing. I also made a big soup with lentils and barley and frozen stew meat. I was trying to get rid of the barley, the lentils, the stew, a soup bone and a large quantity of bacon fat. Good food, but very fattening.

I moved the scales and pointed them in every direction on my uneven floors and I seem to weigh 240 LB.

I weigh about 241. Creeping back into the flubber zone. Still having a hard time getting an accurate reading on uneven floors.

Did some aerobic snow shoveling today. Hope to get back to some sort of routine following the much-discussed move.

As mentioned, I moved recently to a more economically friendly environment. Part of the package of the cost savings happens to be, uneven floors. Not a major hassle until one wants to weigh oneself. I get different readings depending on which direction the scales are placed. I then take four readings and factor the mean.

But it's not as easy as it sounds. A movement of a few inches in any direction, even when the scales are facing east (for example) can make the scales read a two pound difference. Until I effectively resolve the precision I will estimate my current weight to be 240 pounds.

I weighed about 240 on Monday. I have been eating a lo of rich holiday food but I have burned a lot of calories in the activities involved in changing addresses. When the holiday foods are all eaten, I will start a new diet. Stay tuned.
