The other day I wrote a post about being on a stall....and finally having my stall break.

On the day of my surgery 12/5....I weighed 230

At the beginning of this week....I was down to 220....where I'd been stuck for two and a half weeks.

My luck changed on Tuesday when I lost a couple of pounds, and then Wednesday, I lost a couple more. I'd had my period....so figured I was retaining water.

But that got me down to 216....which made me pretty happy. 14 pounds five weeks from surgery seemed very reasonable to me, since my excess weight on the day of surgery was 60 pounds. That was like a 23% excess weight loss. (average is 18% for the first month)

SO HERE'S THE SURPRISE...

At the doctor today, I weighed 212. Which is four pounds less than I thought I weighed....and a far cry from the 220 I thought I weighed on Monday. LOLOLOLOL!

I was so shocked I asked my nutritionist to weigh herself to make sure the doctor's scale wasn't wonky. It wasn't.

I came home and replaced the battery in my home scale and guess what? 212.

Good grief!

To anyone stuck on a stall....it might be a longshot....but if you have any doubts....replace the battery in your scale!

Ha ha! That's awesome Creekimp!

Score! ???

Haha, that's awesome! I wish that was my problem!

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

Haha. Made me laugh, I say that all the time.

I don’t weigh often at home, but like you there was a five lb difference from the last doc visit. I’m guessing I should change the battery for when I do. Thanks for that!
