Question
I used to eat around 3,000 calories (sometimes 3,500) calories a day after I injured myself and gained 165 pounds.
My question is
My scale is only accurate up to 300 pounds. When I weigh on it, it says I'm 345, I've been eating under 2,000 calories everyday for 3 weeks, with a typical day count of 1,500. I've also been biking for exercise because it's the only exercise I can do with my disability.
This scale says that I haven't lost a pound, but I'm wondering if it's possibly wrong because it's only accurate up to 300 pounds.
Please, someone tell me, am I only kidding myself because I want to believe I've lost weight? Or is it possible I've lost a few pounds and the discrepancy is with the "not accurate over 300 pounds" part.
I've cut out so many calories and it's discouraging to think I haven't lost any weight in 3 weeks (it's been horrible, moodswings, crying, etc), and my boyfriend has been really supportive and proud of me through it all. But I don't want to lie to myself, if I need to eat less, or work harder I want to know.
