When all the numbers changed.

Back on January 21, I blogged about my bathroom scale.  (See - http://atrickleofrandomthoughts.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-many-angels-can-dance-on-head-of.html)

One of the things we'd noticed was that my weight always was either an even pound or a half pound. . . 225.0 or 225.5 - and my wife's weight was always an even tenth of a pound 162.2 162.4 162.6 etc.

I wondered where the point was where the scale switched from rounding to the half pound and started rounding to the 5th of a pound.   Well now I know.

My weight Thursday morning was 220.5, and Friday was 220.0.  This morning . . .219.6.

So, for any weight under 220, the scale rounds to the nearest even tenth of a pound.  Pretty cool.

On a side note, this morning's weight for Karen was 164.4, which is her lowest weight since the birth of our children.  (Although, she emphasized, she is NOT to her pre-pregnancy weight yet)

We're easing back into Phase 2 this morning, so wish us luck.  On Phase one for the last week we've experienced about a half pound to a pound of weight loss per day.  Once we slip to phase 2, we typically look for a pound a week.
