Lay the camera on the scales and zero it, then weigh yourself with the camera.

For the second week in a row I am updating my weight a day later. I was at 227 this morning, that is 2 pounds less than yesterday, so that is the weight I am using.

Checking in at 232.2. Sorry I'm a day late!

Hello everyone, I am up .5--247.5--I am getting my first fill tomorrow so I hope that it will end this up/down phase and I'll start to see some loss.

Scale hasn't budged in 2 weeks...still at 240 :-(

Checking in at 167.6

I seem stuck but I was unfilled one week and told I can't run right now a couple days later. Tomorrow I find out my MRI results so hopefully I can run again.
