    Your scale sounds fantastic!

    I had a scale victory today! My scale, as I'm sure many of you can relate, isn't superbly reliable. I have to position it in the same spot every day to even conceive that I may be getting a consistent reading, but the weight that comes up can change by as much as 1-2 lbs each time I step on it, and the position/angle of my body (how much I lean forward, back, to the side, etc.) also affects the reading by as much as 1-2 lbs. SUPER annoying! Anyhow, there are two scales at the gym, an electronic one and a typical beam scale. I haven't been using them much because they both weigh me as 2 lbs heavier than my home scale (which I use first thing in the morning naked, after having peed, before eating/drinking, etc. vs. middle of the day at the gym in my clothing having consumed 0.5L of water, etc.) But I've used them on the rare occassion, and I decided to try both today, and it turns out that while they still weighed me as about 2 lbs more than my home scale, they're both showing a steady downward progression and a fairly similar one at that. Which means I can put some degree of trust/faith in my home scale and believe that it's still ticking well. Whew!!

    lol sorry that was a ramble. I really want to get a new one, but I don't know how much I can spend, and I'm hesitant to spend money on something without knowing whether it will be reliable.
  • Lol I love my scale so much. It's a .1 as well, and my parents won it at a christmas party. Best gift ever!
  • I like my scale its a .2, but it works just fine. It seems to be pretty accurate as well.

    That, and I'm a daily weigh in sort of person. Consistently, every morning. Just have to get up and do it. If I weigh less, its super exciting and I jump up and exercise. If I've gained, It's encouragement to get up and go go go!
  • OMG. This post cracked me up! It's awesome when we can find little toys that bring us so much happiness. Love it!
  • Quote: That IS a nice scale! I have a WW too and I love it, but it's white and old. Now I want a new one in a cool color! lol

    I have lost and gained a lot of weight over the years. One thing that doesn't change is my love of the scale. When I'm losing, like now, I am obsessed even though I know that weight fluctuates day by day. I actually started having loooooong conversations with it in my dreams! lol
    Archychick, I think I have the same old, white WW scale as you have! It's years old but it has been a trouper for me. LIU, thanks for including the photo and LOL comment about the horizontal stripes. With that said, I want the cool, new one too!!!
