I knew my scale had went whack a couple of weeks ago, but I thought I had gotten it fixed. Knowing it wasn't completely accurate I went out and bought a new one tonight. When I hopped on, it told me I was FIFTEEN lbs heavier than what I had thought. I'm not sure if this means I haven't lost any of the weight or if it means I was just 15lbs heavier when I started. Honestly I don't wan't it to be either of them, but the math just doesn't add up in a way that makes me happy.
I guess what this means is I have 15 extra lbs to loose that I didn't think were there...at all! It kinda bums me out...but I know I'm getting healthier because I have lost almost 7 inches since I started. I'm resetting my tracker and starting over with this new more accurate scale...this way I will know EXACTLY where I stand instead of assuming that...
Boy, I wish I could have gotten on and it said I was 15lbs lighter LOL but now I have a bigger motivation and reason to push harder!
Yay for new scales...boo for the results! Haha

One day at a time either way jenni...you do what you need to do and it'll come off0

omg I had that happen too!!!:grumble: I upped my starting weight by the amount it made me really depressed for one day then I just had to come to terms and do 'er!!! it'll be all good especially cause you are losing and now you are just more accurate about what you've gotta do!!!0

Bahh, it's just 15 lbs happier you'll be once it comes off!
think of it like just setting a goal, and then later revising your goal
to make it harder, cuz you KNOW you can reach it!0 -
Just remember it's just a number. The important thing is ...how do you feel?
hey, and who's to say that new scale isn't correct!0 -
:flowerforyou: Think of the 7 inches that you lost, positive.......0
