Monday Weigh-In and my crazy scale...


So I better be posting this Monday Weigh-In soon seeing that it is almost Tuesday.

Here is the short version:
Last Monday (September 6): 224 pounds

Today (September 13): 220.2!!!

Loss: 3.8 pounds!!


My good eating and working out is paying off...it's always lovely to see the fruits of your labor. Amen? Amen!

****************************

Now for the longer, more dramatic weigh-in and crazy scale phenomenon

Let me preface this by saying mother nature sent me my monthly gift yesterday...ugh. This is crucial to the story. I wake up this morning around 8 and make my way to the bathroom. I use the restroom, undress completely and get up on the scale. The scale reads 220.0!! 220.0!! Holy smokes. I woke up quick, wiped my eyes and couldnt believe that I could almost be THAT close to goodbye 220's! I put my hair up in a ponytail and decided to get back on the scale so I could see that number again. I get on the scale and get this. It says 223.8! What?! Huh? What is going on I think to myself. I made sure the scale was level on the ground and I hop on again. This time it reads 223! I was confused to say the least. I think to myself...let's try this one more time. Within 30 seconds I gained 3.8 pounds...that is world record type stuff! I get on for a fourth and final time and it reads 220.2!

I am still not sure what was going on. I have a crazy scale apparently. It freaked me out honestly. It has never done that before so I wasn't sure what to think. I have been slowly but surely throughout this past week creeping down the scale...from 224 to 223.5 to 223 to 221 and then today?! I decided to go with my fourth and final weight as the correct weight. The only reason I thought it might have said 223.8 is because I DID start my period yesterday and you always way more during that time of the month. But then why would it have gone back to 220.2? I have no idea. Should I get rid of my scale? I just got it like 6 months ago and it wasn't cheap.

Oh well...

Long story short, my weight today was 220.2 :)

The End!!

  2. I think I would stick with that one too! My scale sometimes does that - but then when it sorts itself out, it's always the higher weight it decides on :(

    220 is FANTASTIC!

  10. I have the SAME problem with my scale. I have that weight watchers one from Costco and I swear, that thing can give me six different numbers in a matter of two minutes. Confusing as all get out!
