Ah The Woes Of Different Scales

OK, ok, I know you're supposed to stick to one scale and not jump around on others because they vary but thursday through sunday I'm house sitting and I couldn't say no to their little white scale in the bathroom. I weigh every morning first thing and it's a habit I just couldn't break for the next couple of days. They have a digital one similar to mine (but a different brand).

So I step on their scale this morning and it's 6 lbs. lighter than mine said yesterday! Now I'm nervous to get back on my own for fear it will say I haven't lost a thing (or even gained!) and I normally wouldn't be back home until monday morning but I've found disturbing thoughts creeping into my head - that I want to make a trip home tomorrow morning to use my own scale!

I think this is a sign that something is very, very wrong with me! LOL

That's the reason I hide mine and only get on it once every month!

I like to do it every day because it keeps me accountable and I can see gains or even stalls right away so I can act on them right away too. I accept that my weight often fluctuates by a pound or two, it goes both up and down in any given week. However I've been struggling this week and hoping for the whoosh fairy! I know I can't have had a 6 pound whoosh but I'm really, REALLY hoping for atleast 2!!

I love your avi, take your measurements!! I hate the scale, but I do weigh once a week. Good luck!

you're right LC I need to take my measurements! I haven't done it at all but my usual belt hole is feeling bigger and I can feel a difference in some of my clothes so I am going in the right direction at least! I'll need to go out and by myself one of those measuring tapes.
