What on earth is Operation Skinny Cow?

Operation Skinny Cow was born after a few of us in Blogland decided it might be nice to lose some weight and/or get a bit fitter. We decided it would be even nicer if we encouraged each other along the way.

You can read about how it started in this post.

In which I gained 2.5kg in 15 minutes... (Femina)

I finally went back to the gym this morning (yay!) and had an assessment prior to the workout.  I stepped on the scales and they displayed my weight as roughly 2.5kg more than my scales at home. Ouch.  I know all scales are different but still it was a bit of a shock to see a number so much higher than what I'd seen about 15 minutes earlier when I weighed myself at home.  (Fortunately my scales at home still said what I expected, so it's all good.)

Tell you what, though... gaining 2.5kg in a quarter of an hour is a heck of a motivator.  It was a good workout! :D

The only good thing about is it that it wasn't an ACTUAL weight gain. That was a relief!

Absolutely...it's just that number! My gym scales have me as heavier than the WW scales. I have 2 theories for this. 1. I weigh in the evening at WW. 2. I am wearing tracksuit pants and sneakers at the gym. It helps...but still...that number!!
