OT- funny thing

OK, first of all thanks to all of you for the great support at my post of hitting onederland. It has really meant a lot to me.  So yesterday I hit 199 per my doctor's scales. I had to get new batteries for my scales at home which decided to quit two days ago. I weighed at my gym earlier and they said 196.8( not sure about that...however I weighed there Monday and I was 200.8)...well, I get home and my scales said 194....I get off and then get back on and they say 192. I laugh and go back sometime later and I now weigh 190. OK, I know I had a good work out but.........lol. Perhaps if I step on them a few more times I will be at goal! On the serious side, it may be time to invest in new scales!  Lisa

LOL!  Honey, you KNOW I'd be stepping on that scale just to see how far it would go!

Suzanne,      Don't you just know it! How have you been doing? Feeling pretty good now I hope.  Lisa

Mine do that too.  As I have dropped, instead of getting better, they've gotten further off and more unreliable.  I had no idea.  When I weighed 380, they were 10 pounds lower than my docs.  Now that I'm further down, they're more like 15-20 pounds off.  I thought I was at 100 pounds weight loss when I was at 90ish.  I have lost 100 now, but man, when I went to my PCP, it was like gaining 10 pounds instantly.  Anyway, I go on MOnday for my 6 month follow up and will get an official weight then.  I can't wait to see what I really weigh, then I'm going to buy a new one to celebrate. Take care. Ellen

Ellen,       Yes, those scales are crazy. I read on the RNY board that the Tatiana (sp. ? ) scales are really good. I believe they ar at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Anyhow, your avatar is awesome and I went and looked at your new pics! How awesome. By the way, your face looks so skinny in the avatar and so does your body. Unbelievable how fast you are shrinking! You look super.

Lisa

Hey Ellen, I checked out your new pics and sweetie you look fantastic!  You are beautiful and smart as well.  Thanks for all the inspiration and kindness you show everyone. Blessings, your sister in Christ, Diane

Ellen -

Thanks for the new photo! I knew there would be a big difference since when we saw you in early August. You look fabulous. I hope that this note finds you feeling well too.

All the best,

Barb

Boy was I wrong about the names of the scales that were recommended...they are Tanita scales. Sorry guys.

Lisa

Since you're getting a new scale, can I have that one?? LMAO I soooooo don't like what mine says. That one sounds much better.   Mare 

Hey Lisa, I know my scale bounces around too!  I usually go with the highest weight out of 3 times on the scale.  It's not that I am being pessimistic, I would rather be pleasantly surprised when I go to the doctor's for my 6 month check up on Oct 22. Congrats on your great success! Diane
