    @SModa61 I'm glad you found consistency between the travel and home scales! I definitely have to take a meaningless weight first after moving it and then I can take one that counts. I often repeat just to verify and have found consistency after the first nonsense weight. My home scale is also Renpho, so I've seen the other data. It's fun to see but I don't take it very seriously. I actually haven't synced that info in a while, but I can see a BF% decrease over time (not huge, just 26% to 24% but it's been fairly consistent with some bumps and dips).

    @felicityb2026 - I had that same disappointed feeling last round, then I just stayed on track and the next thing I knew had dropped a couple of pounds. Stick with it!

    @SModa61 - thank you so much for the travel scale review! I am going away at the end of July/beginning of August and already have this low-level anxiety about blowing all this hard work. Being able to weigh myself, and my food, will alleviate that. YAY!

    There is a lady that has a book (Elenor Burns) called Quilt in a Day

    I love Eleanor’s methods and have a few of her books. I took a class with her in Paducah one year - about an 18” table topper. I didn’t care for the fabric they supplied and it took me about 10 years to finish! LOL

    @SModa61 I use Renpho at home. I didn't read the directions but I do tap my toe on it about 2 times each side to zero it out each time before I step on. Does that calibrate it or do I need to do something different? Thanks for the info.

    @deepwoodslady for mine, you press on it until you see some numbers. take your foot off and "CAL" will appear followed by "0.0". it is then re-calibrated.

    @SModa61 Thanks for the info. That is what I'm doing now basically so it's probably very accurate for me, unfortunately lol.

    @pezhed Thanks for sharing your experience. I am pleased with the scale. If I do the calibrate first after moving, the greatest differential has been .2 and it does not measure to the .1. And the .2, has been rare.

    @Bringit2023 That is exactly how I am feeling about my scotland trip in the fall. Hubby says that we are spending so much and not to worry. I want to enjoy me trip but have no regrets when I get home. I plan to enjoy myself, but just need to make choices. One of my favorite dining out tricks is two appetizers. One for appetizer, and one for dinner. I get two fun creative dishes, that are small, and not buttered green beans and mashed potatoes on the side that ups my calories. Then I love having a decaf cappuccino as "desert".

    @deepwoodslady Always better to know, then not. I am confident you will turn things around. <3

    @clprieur I'm sorry you have been going through such a rough time, I had a feeling something was up ☹️ but it's good that you have recognised it and reached out for help from your doctor and psychiatrist, and have a plan of action. It's far too easy to slip into the mindset of believing our worth to be determined by how much we weigh or how small we are. Setting yourself fitness goals is a great way to ward against negative self talk, as it gives you a way to celebrate and appreciate all the wonderful things your body can do. I always try to separate exercise from weight loss in my mind, so that I don't end up using exercise as a whip to punish myself for gaining fat. So congrats on being on track to hit your 210 miles, that's some feat! But if you don't quite make it, because you need to rest or whatever, then don't fret, you're still awesome and it gives you a target to beat next month x
