Scale gave me five different numbers



Recommended Posts

Hmmmm. So which one do I use? I put it in the same place I always do... Then moved it just an inch and tried again, a different number. And so on. I'm not sure which one is true... I really wanted the lowest one lol

different number.

bringiton

please stop moving that scale around!!!! :angry:

leave it in the exact same spot-always!!!! :)

best time IMO is to weigh first thing in the morning in your bathing suit :)

ooooops, meant birthday suit :lol:

stand up straight, deep breath in - 2 hours later - breath out!!! :o :lol:

i'm being extra silly today, sorry :lol:

consistency is the answer!!!!

weigh at about the same time, same clothes, or not ;) , and leave that scale in one spot :)

good luck :)

Try a new battery. When that happens to me, I take the number I get twice. I always want it to be the lowest too.

My scale is the same way! I usually take the lowest weight (my 3rd step-on). (At least I'm consistent with the way I'm tracking)! Makes me feel better if nothing else :D

Mine is in the same spot always and it does this depending on where I put my feet I always step on it 3 times and take the middle number or if the same number shows up twice then I use that one:)

lol mine does that too. Demonic scale. I think it just means we all have crappy scales and we need to splurge on higher quality ones. At least that's what I plan to do ;)

I have the cheap $39 Tanita but I think I am going to splurge on the higher end one that does the fat % that my old WL Clinic used. Or the Fit Bit Aria??

Thanks for the laugh! Some really depressing threads here today! I leave mine in the same place and am happy to say I now only weigh myself once a week! Oh happy days!!!

I take the lowest weight. I hate stepping back on one and its a pound higher. I am nearly 5 months out and need to break the scale habit. I weigh at least twice a day.

I love my Weight Watchers scale. I got it at target for about 20 bucks. I always get the same number no matter where I stand on it. It also tells you %body fat, BMI, etc if you have your sex and height programmed in.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
