Speaking of scales....

I just think it's funny that my scale is one of those crappy non-electronic ones. I can weigh myself on it, step off, step back on and weigh 2 more pounds. I tend to just go with the average of it all, what it ends up being around, and as long as that is steadily heading downward it's no biggie.

Just thought I'd share an angle of how scales can be rather useless. :laugh:

    My digital seems to do pretty good. I stand on it (when it wasn't in hiding) then I would get off back on to see if it changed and it wouldn't. Can't say I didn't try. Also, it would be exactly the same as what the gym's scale would be.

    Don't like the gym scale. It's one of those old ones they use at the doctors - they require you physically MOVE them... lame.

    Our school has a really old scale (with the dial with numbers) - probably from the 1950's & it is soooooo accurate, even after being moved around a jillion times!
