Lick The Lard

Today’s weight: 74.8kg

Surprising as it may seem, you can weigh yourself on two different scales one after the other and get wildly different results. It is recommended, therefore, that you always use the same scales when weighing yourself, and don’t switch between different sets.

My old scales broke, so I had no choice but to buy a new set - and unfortunately, with this being Japan and me being limited in the options for buying, I couldn’t try out the scales before buying. If I could have tried out different sets, I would have taken a consensus weight from a number of scales and chosen scales which consistently read that weight.

Today is my first reading with the new scales - I don’t yet know how consistent and accurate they are, so I’ll be watching that over the next few days. I have a feeling that they are registering my weight a little heavier than the old scales were - maybe 0.3~0.5kg - but that’s not necessarily a bad thing since it provides more of a challenge.
