ARGHH my scale is playing games with me today!! So when I first stepped on, it read 210.6 lbs, and I thought "Sweet! Down 0.6 lbs!" which would have been about normal. Then I step on again (because I usually double-check, just in case) and it read 209.0, which I knew was absolutely impossible... Maybe I was pressing on the wall or resting one of my body parts on something without realizing. So naturally I'm like, "HUH?!" and step off and on yet again, and it read 211.2 lbs! My weight yesterday! After that I was just irritated and sick of looking at the d*** scale, so truthfully I have no idea how much I "actually" weighed today. My best guess would be that it was right the first time (210.6 lbs) but who knows? BUT at any rate, this is the second day I've hovered around 211, so I think it's time to change that ticker... I'll be back again tomorrow, so I guess we'll see if the scale has stopped messing around with me, LOL.
Thanks for the support Jelbb! Congrats on reaching that goal of 157!!

My scale did that to me the other day. I was super PO-ed. It kept giving me different numbers that would change based on where I moved the scale on the bathroom floor, and giving me randomly high and low numbers... stupid scale.
The scale was STILL messing with my head today! But the last number read 210.2 lbs, and I think I'm going to accept that... 'Cause the lowest reading was 209.8 and the highest was 210.8 (and really, either of those would be acceptable, though of course a gain would be a slight disappointment, heh) and the average of those two is 210.3... So I think(/hope) 210.2 lbs is about right!
I hope I've had a pretty solid weekly loss by Friday--I need some motivation to have a good weekend! I always do pretty well during the week, but sometimes the weekends undo part of the progress I make during the week. Usually it's less than a pound's worth of damage, but even so, any type of yo-yo-ing can't be good!
Ahhh, boo. 156.6 this morning, but... I refuse to get down on myself, because I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and my curves honestly look to be getting smoothed out... if that makes any sense. Normally, when I'm a bit heavier, my hips tend to jut out in a kind of unnatural look-at-all-the-extra-weight-on-her-hips kinda way, but as I lose weight, it starts to look more like nice, proportioned cuurrrrves. Tho I've been measuring my hips and waist for comparison purposes, and I think I've lost MAYBE half an inch? (C'mon, body, let's just let that fat SHED off...)
Question to everyone who weighs themselves obsessively/in the am:
Why, when I weigh myself IMMEDIATELY after getting up do I weigh higher than when I weigh myself ten minutes later? (Don't ask me why I would weigh myself again in the first place, it's a disease.) Always. I don't do anything differently like.. going to the bathroom or eating in between this time period. But we're talking like.. a significant difference, of like 1 lb.
Is this just me? Am I an anomally? I may make a whole thread for this question...
Yeah!!!
I lost 3 lbs!!!
That´s only 3 lbs away from my goal... maybe I´ll make it! I thought I wouldn´t since I didn´t stay perfectly OP this month, but hopefully I´ll reach my Halloween Goal!!!
I'll be back again tomorrow, so I guess we'll see if the scale has stopped messing around with me, LOL.
