My Scale Was Wrong
I've kinda suspected it for quite a while, but now it's confirmed. My scale is off by 5 pounds, and not for the better! :cry: I just spent an hour changing the numbers on my weightloss chart and in Fitday to show the 5-pound difference. :(
I know that I've still lost the same amount of weight (as a matter of fact I reached the 60-pound mark this morning) but it still feels like I've taken a couple of steps backwards. It seemed like I loomed in the low 180s forever and when I finally thought I had made it over the hurdle, I'm right back there again. Scales are evil things :devil: ~Dee |
Man, that stinks! How did you find out it was wrong?

My scale did that to me before too... I hated it when I found out. Turned out the battery was dying! So it was showing that I lost 6lbs and I knew it was wrong.
At least you bought a new scale that's working for the better now :D |
that would suck. be glad it's in the past now.
|
I know my scale is wrong by about 5 pounds, but haven't had the heart to buy another and reset the numbers. At least I know it's reliable, that is, ALWAYS off by the same amount!

That bites! :devil:
I always weighed at my moms house. I refused to buy a scale. I knew I would weigh myself every 5 minutes. But her scale is old and way off! So I decided to give a new scale a try. I have a new digital one. I weigh every morning and thats it. |
Evil scale! At least now you know the truth. I also have a digital scale that does the .5. Do you round up or down for your ticker here?:D

Been there, done that, exept mine was 15lbs talk about a big downer to find out that instead of 295 when I started I was actully 310 that was enough to send me into a depression but it also got me back on track. Be proud of losing 60lbs your doing great.....

When you get to goal you can say you lost 5 more pounds than what you originally would've thought. You'll have those "new" 5 pounds gone in no time and this will be a distant memory in your weight loss journey.

Thanks for the support everyone - I think I'm over it, but it certainly was a blow first when I found out!
