My scale is wrong!!!!
 
So I went to Zellars today because I thought they were having a cheap cereal sale, which was only one kind Rasin bran but they didn't put that in the flyer. Anyways so I stopped by the scale department and there they were...Why I had an urge to step on I dont know why but I stepped on the scale with full out winter jacket, boots and purse on and guess what it came up to...

180!!!! yes 180! so I was like this has to be wrong, tried another scale THE SAME THING! I came home to step on my scale without the jacket and boots on still 210 and it's only 3 pounds off of zero...isnt that weird? Well I have a doctors appointment on tuesday so Im going to see what their scale says. Guess buying a cheap scale doesnt do anyone wonders lol.

Wow time to get a new scale! My mom's cheap digital scale is like this too. i weight nearly 20 lbs MORE on her scale. That is just ridiculous. I hope the doctor's scale treats you well!

Me too! I'm just waiting it out until Tuesday but seeing 180 felt like a HUGE relief, though I still look gross and fat lol.

wow! 30lbs is a big difference. at least wasn't the other way around. I was using a scale that was broken (i didn't know) and it would not go past 225 so it always read 225. Even when i was dieting!! so when i went to the docter and saw 240.....well it was a big shock.

I agree, time for a new scale!!!

Well thats how I felt when I stepped on my scale thinking I was 180 the whole time then BANG 210. Cause I don't look 210 thats for sure, not saying I look any better at 180 but still.

"I stepped on the scale with full out winter jacket, boots and purse on and guess what it came up to..."

Well, some really good news is... if it is correct and you are only 180 with all that stuff on (jacket, boots, purse) you would actually weigh less than 180 without all that stuff on!! How great is that!!

wow.. thats a huge difference. id be excited to go to the doctors..
