Results from week 7 - measurement and weight adjustments required

Bit of a dilemma this week - I had my week 6 weigh and measure at the gym and the weights figure was all out. I discovered that there is a difference of around 1.2kg between the scales at the gym and the scales I use at home - due to the age of the scales at the gym, and it located on carpet (instead of tiles). The initial weight I got was using the gym scales and every other measurement since has been at home with new scales on the tiles. Which means that there is 1.2kg missing from my weight loss. I checked this by weighing myself before going to the gym and then weighing myself again as soon as I got there.

If I used my scales at home for my initial weight, I would have been 99.2kg. Not sure what to do. I think I will continue using my home scales and recording that weight and then use the gym scales at the end to get the end result - that way the initial and end weight is using the same scales. So you will almost have to take my weight loss and add 1.2kg to it, until I finish. That way it's more consistent.

I also had Evan show me exactly which bits to measure - it turns out where I thought I was measuring was slightly out so I have given you the new measurements at the correct area and the total from the beginning.

So after 7 weeks (with 6 weeks to go):


Weight: 88.0kg (-0.5 kg)
which is a total of 10.0kg since starting

YES I HAVE REACHED MY INITIAL GOAL.
Waist: 99.5 (measured incorrectly previously) a total of -28.5cm since starting
Hips: 118.0 (-0.5cm) a total of -9.2cm
Upper Thigh: 59. (-0.0cm) a total of -2.7cm
Lower Thigh: 45 (-0.0cm) a total of  -0.3cm
Flexed Bicep: 33 (+0.0cm) a total of +0.7cm

All up I have lost 40cm all over!!!!
