I gained .5 lbs since last weigh-in two weeks ago.

That’s an 18 lb loss since starting the contest.

A fellow Loser thinks that something happened to the official scale here at work. He’s been tracking his progress at home and, according to his log, he lost 4 or 5 lbs. According to the official weigh-in today, he hasn’t lost anything.

I figure that if the scale is messed up, it’s messed up the same way for everyone. So, it won’t affect my standing in the contest. If the scale is not messed up, then I just need to do better. But “I need to do better” is pretty much the attitude I would have no matter what.
