Did I actually Gain Weight?

Earlier in the month, I was concerned that I might lose weight on this extreme budget diet. However, when I weighed myself I was 3 pounds heavier then the scales at the doctors office read a couple years back.
Of course that could mean that in the last couple of years that I had gained weight, or that the 2 scales are giving slightly different results.
No mater it is obvious that I did not go below the 142 pounds, from my last doctors visit. For that I am happy, but I still have 59 days to go in this experiment. I could still shed a few pounds, even though that was not was intended by this experiment.

Something to Consider


Something I had not considered, even though it was something that Evan had talked about, is the possibility of weight loss. I spent many years (all of my high school years and then some) stuck at a constant 120 lbs. Wanting to gain wait, but seemingly, no matter how much I ate, I never gained weight. Then in 1995 (some 8 years after high school), I moved to Chicago, as I entered the ministry, and with-in one month I had gained 10 lbs. I never looked back from that, I ultimately got up to 142 lbs, which is where I have been sitting the last 7 or 8 years. However, I could actually lose some of that weight with this experiment. If I feel healthier, it could be a good thing, but I am not sure that I want to gain or lose any weight.
I don't own a bathroom scale, so I can't weigh myself, and going to see a doctor, that I can't afford would be a waste of money, especially just so I could get weighed. Maybe, I should consider going to target, and getting a bathroom scale. Then again maybe, I could find a good one on FreeCycle.org.
At any rate, the possibility for weight loss is there, and i should keep that in mind.
