Hello :smile: So this morning i got up and weighed my self and was so excited to find out i lost another pound. I stepped on the scale at least another 5 times because i was so excited to see that number (its one of those scales that read the number to you- not like those old ones) so by the 5th time i stepped on the scale it went back up a number!!!! :sad: so..... my question is did i not lose a pound?? and how did the number change in a matter of mins without me drinking or eating anything :huh: ?? Thank you.

    Level floor? No carpet or rug? You didn't eat a quarter pounder? (Oh, that would be 1/4 lb.) Four quarter pounders?

    You probably lost the lb but digital scales are always wacky. Mine is the same way..I normally weigh maybe 3 times to make sure i get the same number then log it!

    I'm pretty sure that breathing air adds calories for me--but, I haven't figured out how to log or limit it. (JK)

    That's why I like digital scales.

    Probably got pissed you kept checking, i can picture mine saying, 'Don't believe me, B!tch? Fine! Here you are!" and suddenly I'm up a pound...the scale is a jerk.
