"Achieve Incredible Weight Loss Results"
Each morning, I weigh myself. I know that you're only supposed to do it once a week, but daily works for me.
Yesterday, I weighed 183, a bit above my target weight and even more over my desired goal. (The " Christmas 5" just wasn't going away!)
This morning I hopped on the scale, fixated on the rightmost numbers. It said '81. Wow! I lost a couple pounds. Then I realized something was missing. It didn't say 181, just 81. Must be the batteries were going bad. I shook my head and lumbered into the shower.
As I washed the sleep from my eyes, weight loss claims peculated in my mind: "Lose weight while you sleep," "Fast results - no diets, no pills," and "Shed pounds without exercise." Wait, I've heard all those before - but now I know the science behind them - a failing scale battery.
Next, I considered a tabloid headline: "Miracle weight loss - man sheds 100 pounds overnight." Hold on; maybe, I've seen that one, too!
As I washed away the subconsciousness, my mind meandered to math. Was it 2.2 pounds per kilogram or 2.2 kilograms per pound - I couldn't recall. If it was the former, it could be that I went to bed weighing 183 pounds and awoke a mere 81 kilograms. The math seemed about right - at least to the extent of doing it my head when I was not fully awake.
After my shower, I checked my scale. Yep, that was it. The "lbs/kg" switch went metric on me. I slid it back to its rightful spot and checked again. I was at 181 — see, I lost weight after all!
Still it's exciting to be a mere 81 — or to think that I dropped 100 overnight. I wonder if the National Inquirer will buy my story?

I had something miraculous happen to me once when I was using your scale. I had lost 20 pounds over night. Sadly, when I stepped off, the scale read -20. My mysterious weightloss was a result of a bumped dial, resetting the scale to an incorrect starting balance.
