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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
