I suppose it's cheating to sign up for the February four pound challenge on 2/27 when I'm already down five pounds for the month, but . . . I'm in!0

Thanks for the advice. I am nowhere near "goal" and most of my meals in Feb are salmon and spinach salad. I think I'm going to put more variety in my diet as well as some strength training. I do the elliptical at least 5 days a week and Wii fit free step a few nights a week. Honestly, the Wii fit is getting me down because it has told me I've gained weight almost every day this week. I use the "real" scale on Monday's.. I'll check in on Monday. The good news is that none of my clothes fit and I had to dig through the garage for old clothes from ten years ago. Does anyone else here have a fear of buying new stuff and getting rid of the old clothes?
I got on the scale at the gym last night and it said I weight 180 which is 15 lbs more than my scale at home says I weigh. I was like :noway:0 -

I do not think that theirs are accurate. But I never get on any other scale but the one I started with. It is just how you keep track of how much you are losing. So do do that again..0 -
When it comes to scales, stick to one scale as your reference. If you do want to use more than one (like the gym) once you figure out the exact (or as close as you can) difference, take that into consideration. My doctor's scale is about 9 lbs more than my one at home! The one at the gym is 2lbs different so I'm pretty lucky there.
In healthcare, we have so many ways to weigh people and sometimes having an accurate wt is crucial, so we label what we used and try to be consistent as well as teach pts the same for when they get discharged.0 -
I love a challenge. (^_^) let me know when/if you start a march challenge seeing I'm late to this one.0

Thanks folks - its not that I actually thought I weighed that, I was just curious and I thought it was both hilarious and BAD for a gym to have one that is SO very off. Because regardless of how accurate you think MY scale is, I do NOT weigh 180 lbs. No way. but think of all those poor people at the gym that don't know how much they weigh and step on there!0

that would be me. I wanna get to goal 1st. I cant afford to buy new clothes every few months. I also dug deep for my clothes from years and years back. My problem is now bra s. I cant get ones that fit properly :-(Thanks for the advice. I am nowhere near "goal" and most of my meals in Feb are salmon and spinach salad.

A bad end to February. I have gained 1.1kg this week. Not because i have hit a plateau, but because i only worked out one day this whole past week , had to take it easy due to injury, eat like a pig. I went above my calorie limit by 300 to 800 on all days in the past week. I have lost a total of 3kg this month. I say goodbye February, hello March :-). Lets do this.0
