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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
