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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
