Scales - I just hate them
« on: July 19, 2013, 02:09:56 AM »
Well isn't it the pip.  Was having trouble with my scales so thought I might invest in a new one.  I did give it a passing thought that it would be nice if they weighed me lower than the ones I am having trouble with NOT that it would weigh me heavier.  So you know what happens don't you?  YEP they weigh me heavier, by about 6-7lbs (insert very rude words here).  I tried testing them and put a 3lb weight on my old one - which said 4, then 3, then 4 then back to 3 (see what I mean about needing to replace it) the new scale said 2.6 (which is less by .4) so why is it weighing me more than the old scale if it is giving a lower reading?  No adjustment on either scale as they are digital.  I thought the new scales would be great when finally reach goal as it would weigh me more therefore I would be more careful and always more or less on target.  Well that's my rant for the day.  >:(

Hi, Morgan! :)

I'm with Umpa.
Lose the scale and buy yourself a nice dress.

Target practice is another good idea! :D :D :D
