my scale lied

By rhondafranklin

I went to the doctor like i said on monday 11/08/2010 and jumped on his scale WHHYYY:cursing: did his scale say i only lost 5 pounds. but my personal scale says i lost an xtra 10 pounds whick I knew was incorrect because my clothes should have fell off, lol well, i still celebrate the 5 pounds. But good news I go for my first fill nov 18th kind of nervous. But so ready because I feel I can eat more than what I should be. :smile2: well, hopefully my weigh loss will take off with this fill.:eek: until next time.

    yes i noticed that too. my dr's scale is 4 or 5 lbs. difference. i have just been recording both weights. I really hate that. I had my first adjustment and the dr. didn't even put me on the scale.

    Five lbs is a lot, CELEBRATE Girl!!! All Dr.s offices scales are off to ours at home, use the one you want to. I go by my scales, cause after the followup, you will only have YOUR scales. I bought a new set and they are expensive enough to not lie! lol! It is the time of day you weigh as well and with clothes on or not too! Congrats.

    lol @latin starr i;m following u as well celebrate ur 13 pounds.

    @papoose my dr did point out that there is a difference in the scales from office to home but I hate just hate it too. i need every pound to count lol. tks for the reply.

    @ janetjourneytolism u make a lot of sense lol they are expensive. and it does depend on the time of day. i think the morning i'm the most heaviest.
