The new scale arrived late yesterday, so I waited until this morning to establish my new, official, starting weight.

I now weigh 251.4 pounds.

This is actually three or four pounds less than I thought I would weigh.  Our old scale was off by about two pounds.

I don’t really have a lot to write about today.  I just needed to establish my new starting weight - and now I’ve got to work my butt off to drop the pounds and change that number.
