That darn scale

  • You know I really like my scale. Its one that send micro electronics and gets acurate readings downn to the ounces. As well as body fat. ALthough I never look at the body fat because I think its wrong. any ways, I think it's playing tricks on me.

    After Tom left it didnt budge at all for WI. I was a little shicked and thought maybe that piece of candy is catching up yo me. And I know I am in a platue, maybe I am really stuck.

    Oh no, that is not the problem. My scale knows when WI is and jumps to 155 wiether I am above or below it jumps to 155. Its a conspiracy. I know it! I WI this am and I am down to 153.8 , now tell me thats not my scale playing tricks on me.

    those scales, up again, down again , WI - jump up. GRRR. Well maybe I will have to trick my scale this weekend and before I get on it, I will tell it is Tuesday or Wednesday! LOL!

    Thought we were all in need of a little giggle.
  • Dani: I guess we'll always have a love/hate relationship with the scale, won't we? Some days I want to hug it, some days I want to throw it against the wall. That is why I try to have other ways to measure my success other than the scale. For some reason, though, I am always drawn back to it.
  • LOL! Me too!!
  • LOL - There is a scale union somewhere where the president demands conspiracy! Definetly my reminder that the scale is not the only sign of succes or progress. I fnally dropped 2 lbs this week after sts for 3 weeks but I did my measurements again Monday and have lost another 3 1/2 inches. For a total of 17 1/2! THAT'S progress
    WTG Dani for the 153.8. You are doing great!
  • Have to share my NSV - I took my pants off last night without unbuttoning them - easily
  • LOL, Donna!!!!!!!!!!!

    Way to go Dani!!!!!!! I hear ya about the scale!!!!!
  • Way to go! Toeps, you will soon have to wear suspenders! Those scales are definately not a 'girl's best friend' - the temps here have suddenly gone 'way down', so hubby lit the gas pilot again, ready for fire action! Last night he asked for some 'winter foods' - and of course the stew tasted just SOOOO good, that I totally 'forgot' about 1/2C measures.... the result this morning was that those dumb scales lied to me again! back to 172 - 4 lbs up? - that CANNOT BE! Lesson learned yet again: do not eat at night time! I am back to the low glycemic shakes, bars and meals (with suitable protein and fiber and carbs) - will I ever learn!
    Oh and by the way, from to-day my subscription ran out at JC's - so I am happy that I can access 3fc's again!
  • Nice to see you again Greta! Did you ever find out what the problem was?
  • hey again
    Never did figure out what the problem was. Now when I click on the bookmarked link, it operates/opens like it always used to do - in other words, the whole page gradually opens up and I can participate! It is the weirdest thing!
    I particularly appreciate this now where I have stopped with JCs website. I have the book as support anyway! and since I am convinced about the 3-hourly eating mode, I just keep "chugging along"...
  • I am so happy you can acccess this now Greta.

    Donna- that is too funny. Speaking of jeans I never ever dry my jeans in the dryer because it shrinks them and I can not wear them anymore. Now I keep telling him - dont forget to put my jeans in the dryer so the do shrink! LOL! Poor hubby.
