I hate scales!

Apr 17, 2009

I hate scales!  No, let me re-phrase that.  I hate MY scales!  And not for the reason you would think.  I have 2 scales.  both digital and one has all the bells and whistles like measuring fat percintage, being able to put in age and height, etc.  The other is just your basic model, just tells you your weight.  I have had them both for yearssss.  The expensive one that tells you everything gives me the exact same weight for a week.  Doesn't matter if I weight in the am, pm, noon, with clothes on, without clothes, just the same weight to .1 of a pound.  Now tell me, how can anyone weigh the same EVERYDAY for a week when you are eating only 600 -    800 calories a day.  It is not possible, because your weight fluctuates from am to pm.  So I said fine, I will start using my other scale.  Which worked fine at first. Then, I would weigh (lets say I was around 235lbs) and it would say 263lbs.  So I would step off and back on and it would say 245lbs.  Step off and back on and it would say 234lbs.  Back off and on and it might say 241lbs.  Now I know my weight isn't going to change that much in a 5 min span.  So, now I only weigh on mondays at work.  I need to get to my 3 month checkup (4/28/09)  and get my weight there so I will know where the work scales compare to his to get my correct weight.  If all is as I have figured out, I should be at 51 pounds right now!!   Yippee, yahoo, woo hoo, happy, happy, joy, joy!  I guess now I love scales!
