My scale lied to me

[Jaxxamillion 5]

This whole time I was thinking I was in the low 300s… whole time I’m actually almost 350lb. I had a doctor appointment today and they weighed me… I’m 30lbs heavier than I thought I was. So 4 months post op I’ve only lost 43lbs

Aaah scales. They have the power to make or ruin your day just by standing on them. Did you weigh more at your doctor’s than at home initially? I weigh differently at my GP, my follow up doctor, the hospital & at home. So they keep their records and I keep my mine. The actually weight loss is the same just the numbers are different on the scale.

Check your batteries. How old are your scales? As my old scales were failing my weight was erratic until they finally read I weighed like 100kgs more than I was. They went in the bin & I bought new ones that day.

Remember you have lost 43lbs in 4 months so averaging 10lbs a month. That’s fantastic.
