2mara Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 My scale is CRAZY! I'm working on my pre-op diet (down 5 lbs plus the 2 that I gained after I gave the OCC my starting weight!). My surgery date is May 30 so I still have 23 days to loose 7 lbs. I'm feeling very confident that I'll exceed that. I have a nice scale. (If there is such a thing! Ha!) It measures to the .2 pounds. One of it's crazy habits is that it taunts me. When I step on the scale, the numbers start climbing up, up, up. In fact, they always go a few pounds higher than my actual weight and then roll back down. That's just cruel! There are milliseconds everymorning that I think I gained weight and all that lettuce was for nothing! Well, today, Crazy Scale started a new cruel trick. I admit, everyday I weigh myself twice in a row...just to make sure. And every morning, the number is exactly the same both times. Until today. Today, I weighed 10 times and never got the same number twice in a row. AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! I haven't named my future band yet, but I think I have some names that I'd like to give my scale!

MamaMichelle Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Lol that's quite a scale, it sounds like a slot machine you never know if it is going to be kind to you or not.... If you're getting crazy readings I would check to make sure it's resting on a hard and level surface (not your carpet) If it's still giving you different numbers I would change the batteries!!

2mara Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Lafoon, I'll see you in TJ on May 30! I arrive late on the 29th so I'll do my pre-op stuff Friday morning. I saw you are from Roswell, GA. I'm in Nashville, TN. Are you planning to do your fills at Fill Center USA? I think they have an office in Roswell or Norcross. That's what I think I'll do. I can drive down there in about 3 1/2 hours. Tanya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paula Bee Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Whatever scale you have, keep it OUT of the bathroom and use only on a hard floor. The humidity in the bathroom will ruin the scale and through the settings off. All of this is in the directions, which I only read because I needed to figure out how to change the battery in mine. Mine is now in the breakfast area, on a low book shelf. It is very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
