Can I just add that my scale is retarded as well. Pants are beginning to feel loser, so that's awesome. Monday, weighed myself then napped. Weighed again post nap. I gained 1.4 lbs in my sleep! dirty rotten *kitten*
I must have been eating donuts in my sleep again

I weigh more after I poop.
That defies the laws of science, but it's true.4 -
One thing missing, particularly for women, and for some men, is HORMONES!!!! Those darned things. And FFS, I didn't realize (I know, facepalm, Knit!) that INSULIN IS A HORMONE. So when it's out of whack, all the hormones, especially the female/male dominant ones, are all frigging wacky too. So in addition to being a hormone-insane woman by sheer nature of being a woman with periodic PMS, being insulin resistant sometimes feels like the insulin stole mom's car keys, emptied dad's bank account, and went on a roaring kegger a the fraternity house. OMG, so much random insanity in the hormone crap!
I also find that the moon cycle affects fluid retention for me, above and beyond traditional hormone cycles.
Oh, and the wind. Randomness of the wind (yes, even indoors) often affects the outcome - this is not fickleness, but it's own annoying randomness.9 -
This thread has made my night. Just saying.
But yeah, my scale has been fluctuating a lot, but I feel better and the fact of how busy I've been and the things I've accomplished this week speak volumes to the change in my energy level. I've had 3 people comment to me about noticing I'm losing weight, and these 3 people didn't know I had changed my WOE! I do weigh myself daily, but I don't take that number to heart. Oh! And shark week definitely affects it, too!4 -

Whew!
That seems like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an ..enema? Do you have a bidet attachment that endeavors to fill the void with olive oil?
Or are you perhaps snacking on a pork roast while perched upon the throne?4 -

That *might* loosely fit under #10 above...1 -
I moved my fickle scale from a flat surface in my basement to a flat surface in my kitchen - a 3.5-lb difference. Hurrrumph.
Both readings were heavier than the one at my doctor's office the same day.
Fickle, and spiteful to boot. Don't trust them!

Lol I don't take my scale too seriously. I have to climb on it 3-5 times to make sure I get the "right" number. Because it sometimes measures 2-3lbs heavier for no reason. And I don't even move mine.
I do have a goal number in mind. But that's just an idea for the sake of having a goal.
I'll go by clothing size. At least I know what size I'd like to be. 3 -
Ha! I'm with you there, @Shadowmf023. On a good day, I can squeeze....er, imagine myself squeezing into all sorts of slim outfits and launching my own Incredible Shrinking Man clothing line.5

Jeez...what a horrible name for a clothing line...2 -
Y'all are hilarious!!!
Lately I have loved my scale!
But of course that is not always the case! We have a serious semi-dysfunctional love/hate relationship going on! 2 -
@dmariet116 - If you're in a scale-lovin' way, you've made it to Slim St. Congrats!2

Lol the name you chose made me think of a select few men. But it wasn't because of their body size. At least, not their upper body size...4 -
@RalfLott Not quite made it; another 37 lbs to go. I know the weight loss will slow so when it does I will definitely be breaking up with my scale!2

FYI, it's usually a good idea to keep your bath water above 50 degrees.1
