The beginning of April at my moms house, I weighed 160 before i started dieting.
April 15, at my daughters doctors appointment, I weighed 162. That was day 2 of my diet. (for note, she weighed 34lbs and our other daughter weighed 41lbs)
I decided to get a new battery for our home scale today and weigh myself. It says I weigh 162. This wouldnt be bad, but I also weighed our daughters and it says they are 31lbs and 38lbs. Theres no way my daughters lost 3lbs in 1 week! The only thing I can think of is that the scale is off by 3lbs. So Id actually weigh 165- a weight gain.
I know different scales say different things and I guess it could be water weight, muscle or w/e...but is this normal? How do you get over this hump?

Maybe the scale at your moms house is off?

When dieting it is very important to weight yourself using the same scale. All scales will say something different depending on how old they are or how they're calibrated.

You really can't compare all those numbers. Scales just aren't that accurate. Clothes, scale, time of day, are all going to affect things. Pick a scale, pick a time and go with it. So far you don't have two numbers on the same scale. Until you do that, you really can't say if you've gained or lost.

i think its important to weigh yourself using the same scale, at the same spot, at the same time n day, usually in the morning before breakfast.
Thats what i do at least so i avoid all this frustrations.

even weighing on the same scale and standing in different spots (forward/back) can change the weight.
Don't let it get you down, scales ARE not accurate at all!

Thanks, This makes me feel better. and i now know its not right because i weighed myself again and now its saying im 158.
