Shocked and confused...

  • Ok so for the past few weeks I thought my weight loss was slowing down which I was fine with. One week I would lose a pound the next maintain or just drop a fraction of a pound. Then for the past 2 weeks it has been hard for me to get past the 134 mark. Then this morning like yesterday it said 133.8 after a bathroom stop this moring. Then an hour later (haven't drank or ate anything) it said like 134.4 or something close to that. But I did not think much of it.

    Well through out the day I was getting a lot of E readings on my scale. Still did not think nothing of it. Well a bit after supper I got on the scale (I like to check my flucations) and once again got an E reading. Finally I had had enough and decided to change the battery. Did that hopped up there and weighed and thought it said 137.4 which at 134 would be normal after supper. But as I walked down the hallway I thought "that 3 sure looked more like a 2" so I went back and weighed 2 times. Both times it said....




    127.4!!!!!!!!!!

    Here the past few weeks I thought I was maintaining but really I was losing weight. Let me tell you it was a shock. But I won't hold my breath till in the morning. If it says the same thing or lower I know that the scale is now acting right.

    Now the bad news...If the weight is accurate I still have a bit more to go. And I was that because there is still a layer of fat (I can see it when standing and when pinch the skin there is fat there). But I will keep on how I have been and see where it lands me.
  • Wow!!!! I am crossing my fingers for you until the morning!
    You deserve it though, Im sure its just a reflection of all your hard work paying off
  • Now THAT's the kind of scale surprise I like! Makes me want to check my battery...

    Let us know if you're still low tomorrow!

    About that fat layer--skin has thickness, too... it may not all be fat... and even if it is... wow, 127...

  • Thanks guys I am still shocked at how far I have come in such a little amount of time. If I hadn't have done it I would not have believed it could be done. Tommorrow I will post some pictures I have on the camara.

    ETA: The fat I can still see and pinch is on my tummy. Specifically below my belly button.
  • Congrats on your weight loss!
  • Awesome! I want one of those surprises LOL.
  • Just woke and weighed myself and it does say 127. So I am moving the ticker.
  • It's official!!!! FANTASTIC!


  • ROCK ON, yeah you move that ticker!

    I wish the scale would surprise *me* like that!

    And I'm sure you look great. You may not need to lose weight anymore, but rather just tone up a bit if you really do have pinchypinchfat.
  • Congrats!!!!! That's awesome. Cheers to you!
  • Makes me wanna go change my battery! ROFL Congrats!
  • Way to go!!!!!
  • Wow, CONGRATS!!!!
  • That is the kind of story I need to hear. I am just starting today and feel like its will take forever. But CONGRATS to all that have made goals, mini or ending. That is great!
