    My Dr. office scale is always between 4-6 lbs more than what my scale says. So as long as you use the same scale all of the time (yours) and weigh in at the same time, you will get a more accurate reading. If you start at 275 on your scale and are 240 on your scale it is 35 lbs no matter how you look at it. Who cares what the Dr. scale says! Great job, keep up the good work!!!

    Don't worry about a calibrated scale.....as long as the number on whatever scale you use is going south, you're going in the right direction. Tracking decimals is totally immaterial until you're within striking distance of your last 2 or 3 pounds to goal.

    Great job ...keep moving.

    Great job with losing ! When I get discouraged I go to the grocery store and put pounds of butter stacked in my cart then say to myself all that was on me before I started to change my life. Guess I could start putting heavier things there now that I have lost 40+ lbs. It is a great visual reminder and 1lb weights that then need to be restocked lol.

    Congrats! Great job! A friend of mine told me to go to the Pet supply store and find bags of dog food that equal your weight loss and then try to carry them if I needed inspiration or a reflection of how much I have lost so far. Butter or sacks of potatos would work too! Keep up the great work!

    Take some pictures and compare them to pictures from your starting weight. Trust me on this one. I couldn't see my 35-pound loss until I took some current pictures and then compared them to pictures I took in the spring. Most people see big differences in their face first, and even though your shape may be the same, it will be smaller. Seriously. Go take pictures. :)

    I know what you mean about the scale vs. floor. I leave mine in the exact same spot in my bedroom (hardwood floor) and never, ever move it because it can fluctuate by two pounds (up or down) if I move it just a few inches.

    That is so fantastic!!! I started a month ago and I am just now beginning to see results. ( I was always starving myself so my body is readjusting to food) You really inspire me! It is so hard to feel successful when nothing is physically changing!! So thank you! I needed this!
