And bam just like that I saw a number lower than my goal!!! Too bad it was because my scale just needed new batteries >D Is it sad I feel so thin when I know it’s a false reading

I bought a new scale and found I weighed 1.4lbs less on it than my old one. Put a smile on my face every morning thereafter, despite knowing my actual weight hadn't changed.5

Goodness who knew that almost dead batteries on a scale would give such a way out reading...what a way to burst your bubble

I've been away visiting my boyfriend for the last month, kept checking his scale to see where I was at and I was soooo excited when I hit goal weight a few days before coming home! Two days after getting back I check the scale.... six pounds higher than my boyfriends. Wasn't sure whose was off so I used someone else's scale.... to find out his is six pounds too light. I've never been more disappointed. ):14

My scale changes my weight depending on where I place it since I have hardwood floors. Sometimes I treat myself by voluntarily placing it in the 'lighter' spot to start the week on a better note 23

I dont have a scale. I am going to weigh at my Mom's house come July. The reason I mention this is because it is very liberating.1
