One or Five?

So last week I lost three pounds, which plenty of people probably think is no big deal and it's just weight fluctuation but I'm proud to say I've weighed myself this morning and I have lost at least one pound. By no means is this leaps and bounds but it's confirmation that I'm keeping those three pounds off and have lost an additional pound which adds up to a whole four pounds. If I can keep this up, it will certainly snow ball. I will definitely have to step up my game though because to be honest I haven't cut down my eating that much and have still indulged in ice cream and cake these past two weeks. I don't plan on entirely cutting out those delectable treats but I do plan on cutting it down to rare occurrences rather than frequent splurges.

When I first weighed myself this morning it said I had lost five pounds. I was elated but quickly became skeptical. How could I have lost five pounds this week? So I checked again... and again.... and again... all three times stated the same as the first- I have lost five pounds. I, a woman of science, decided to test the variables out and changed my position on the scale weighed myself once again- this time stating the less exciting one pound worth of loss. This seemed more believable. I stepped on once again in the relatively same position and it reaffirmed the one pound loss. I'm not sure exactly why the scale was giving me two different weights but I'm determined to find another scale in the house to weigh myself once more to find the one true weight for definite weight loss calculation. I am happy either way, to say the least.
