I checked and in Feb 2010 I weighted 217 lbs wearing the same clothes and shoes I have on now on my crappy scale. I just weighted myself on the same crappy scale and it showed 186. I actually weight 187 with just my shorts on on my new digital scale (the old scale is off). So that is 31 lbs per the old scale gone. Pretty cool. I dont have any before pics so this is all you get.
