The Difference Carpet Makes

I learned a very valuable lesson today: carpet makes a difference! It's true! When I started my Calorie Journal, I weighed myself with the scale ON the carpet. I was extremely distressed because the scale showed that I can gained 15 pounds! It's true, the carpet added 15 pounds onto my weight. I'm not exactly sure why, but to get your exact weight, ensure you are placing the scale on a hard surface. (No, I am not using this as an excuse for my weight gain. Indeed, I weighed myself on the rug/carpet and on a hard surface (linoleum), and I weighed 15 pounds lighter on the linoleum. So, heed my advice, and take the two seconds to move the scale onto a solid surface like concrete, linoleum, or wood. Carpet is not the way to go!
