I think it’s just water, but I’m not an expert
189.6 lbs this morning. 1,370 calories yesterday, 180 from scallops, 50 from kimchi/sauerkraut, the rest potatoes. I consistently seem to eat more calories when I mix in meat. That’s probably OK but I don’t want to overdo it. Very sore from my Saturday workout, even more than yesterday.
190.0 lbs this morning. 1281 calories yesterday, all potatoes.
188.4 lbs this morning. 1008 calories yesterday, 50 from sauerkraut/kimchi, 180 scallops, the rest potatoes.

Have you given thought to the scale you’ll use for final weigh in and how you’ll know it’s calibrated? It would really suck if your bathroom scale is off by a pound or two and you lose the bet because of it.

Yes. It’s in my office and I’ve been experimenting with it. It’s pretty close to my bathroom scale, which is what I’ve been weighing myself on every morning. However, if I stand on it with my weight forward on the balls of my feet (which is natural as you’re looking down at the display), then it seems pretty close to my scale, within a pound or so. However if I keep my weight on my heels and look upwards, it weighs me about two pounds less. So that’s good to know. Down the road I’m going to do some experiments with new batteries and run down batteries to see if there is any difference there.

Fluke is my meter of choice.
187.8 lbs this morning. 1,087 calories yesterday, 140 from salmon and the rest from potatoes.
Just weighed myself on the contest scale wearing about what I will for the weigh in. 187.4 with my weight forward looking down, 186.6 on my heels.
187.2 lbs this morning. 1,013 calories yesterday, 160 from cod and the rest potatoes.
Six weeks until weigh in. 2.9 lbs/week I have to lose. In the three weeks since I started this I’ve lost 10.8 lbs, with an average weight loss of 3.6 lbs/week. But you have to think that the last 11 lbs are going to be easier than the next 17. So I think it will be tough but doable.

Sorry if this has been asked but are you taking any vitamin supplements?
I’m taking krill oil and vitamin A and a kelp supplement for iodine. I was taking B12 but it’s unnecessary as I’m eating meat again. The krill oil is probably unnecessary because I’m eating seafood but I already have the bottle so whatever. I don’t always remember to take them, probably only take them a bit more than half of the days.
Are you exercising at all?
I’ve started lifting weights once a week (started last Saturday and will do the second workout tomorrow) and doing a fair bit of walking, mostly at work. I’ve been averaging about 3.5 miles a day.
186.0 lbs this morning. 918 calories yesterday, 180 from scallops, the rest potatoes. Can’t believe my appetite is staying as low as it is, I really am eating when I’m hungry. Haven’t gone to bed hungry a single time.

186.6 this morning. 1,230 calories, 230 from chicken breast and the rest from potatoes. Lifted weights yesterday, was roughly as strong as last week, no improvements.
Oh, I wasn’t complaining and I didn’t necessarily expect anything differently. Just reporting how my weightlifting session went yesterday.
