    was the scale on a carpet...if so that throws it off...however a pound is a pound, your still losing weight

    Your opening weight may have been incorrect but the losses would reflect your weight loss.

    sorry but that was the problem...you can't get a true weight with the scale on carpet....it must be on a hard surface....but hey your still losing weight

    I hate to agree, but weighing on carpet *ahem* pads your weight. If I weigh myself in my bedroom (burbur carpet), I can lose 40# than what I get weighing on the cement floor in the basement.

    Awww, this sucks - this happened to me when I first started out. The carpeted weight is going to be the incorrect one though, sorry :cry: but at least you've been losing steadily - that part will still have been true :smile:

    Good luck! Try not to be too disheartened :flowerforyou:
