I think my scale is broken

  • It can't be me, can it?

    The darn thing is stuck at 196. Every few days it creeps up to 197, then the next day BAM, right back to 196. I am getting SO frustrated.

    I've been spoiled by an almost constant weight loss, so to hit this stopping zone is just aggravating.

    And as long as I am complaining, and since I don't know anyone IRL here....

    My dh and I are not TTC, but in a compromise, we're not NOT TTC. (My dh's way of saying I don't know if we're ready, but if it happens then it happend) Well I have not gotten a pp cycle since having my son 9 1/2 months ago, so I don't know when or if I am ovulating. I started with some pregnancy symptoms, nausea, sore breasts...but IF I O'd I am only 9 dpo. Too early to test, but I did...BFN. So I should not be shocked, but now I am questioning my symptoms, and making myself nuts.

    Something needs to give....either that scale needs to move, or I need to see 2 pink lines....or I may just go off the deep end.
  • I think there are a few reasons that number gets me.

    #1. One more pound and I get to 30 pounds lost.

    #2. One more pound and I get to change my avatar.

    #3. One more pound and I get to add a spinning smilie to my siggy.

    #4. Five more pounds and I am officially overweight instead of obese.


  • I have SO been there! LOL! I was TTC while not having a period for 9 months! That was before I knew I had PCOS. I was testing every other week for about four months before I finally went to the doctor and said, "This just isn't normal." Well do I remember how LONG a day can be when you're waiting to test again. It's way worse than Christmas!

    That scale will move. Deep down, you know it will. It's just a horrible test of patience. (...she says until it's her own turn to whine about the scale)
  • Hope things get better for ya soon!!
  • My weight was like that around the same weight... 198-196... it FINALLY moved until my mom had her stupid Xmas cookie party last night.... now I'm back to 196 today. :| Hopefully it'll come off quick. *sigh* I hate the holidays.
