The Post About My New Scale

I bought an analog scale for the bathroom today. I'm trying to lose weight and I thought it would be a good idea to have an accurate method of tracking my progress, rather than assuming my bread and butter diet is doing the trick.

There was an instruction sheet included in the box to explain how to set the scale to 0. Below the instructions, it says:



CARE AND MAINTENANCE
An occasional wiping with a soft cloth and mild soap will keep your scale attractive.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Your scale does not require oiling or lubrication of any kind.


I have decided to leave the shrinkwrap on the scale. Partially so that I never have to wipe it down, but mostly so I will never be tempted to oil or lubricate it.

(**P.S.- Good news! I have lost 4lbs since January 6th; bread & butter can stay!**)
