Forget pounds, we should be weighed in COLORS

Let's just give every 5 pound range one color.
Say 280 to 285 lbs = Midnight Blue.
I weigh Midnight Blue.
Considering individual weigh fluctuates from one day to the next sometimes simply by how much water that chinese meal you had last night is making you hold in, the pound-based scale is just needlessly worrying people.
Down with pounds, up with colors!

Oh don't worry... it's red for women and lemon lime for men. It's a complex system...0 -
Okay I'm Navy Blue, 270-275:happy:0

ok so let me get this scale down:
Midnight Blue: 280-285
unknown
Fuschia is 195-200
unknown
Yellow is 180-185
Orange is 175-180
Red is 170-175
unknown
Forest Green is 130-135
Clover is 125-130
so at the moment I am orange, I was perilously close to yellow for a time but never quite stepped over that line... I hope to be red by the end of next week...
My ultimate goal is Forest Green by this time next year but I should only be there momentarily because this time next year I also hope to get preggers :bigsmile:0 -
