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 ;) The psychology of the scale...

    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 :D

    Me too on scale placement and the tipping back on heels works too. Mind bend this weighing thing is.

    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.
