    Scales can Lie, Atkins doesn't

    Hello eveyone

    Why this title for the post? I have a scale that I have always weighed on. It is a digital scale not that old. I have been weighing in at least every 4 days in the last several weeks. Always in the morning. And I have always weighed the same 282. On Tues afternoon, I went to the Dr.s office for a check up and their scale at 3pm said I weighed...274! Quite a difference for me. I was so stoked. I have told everyone. I am losing weight. Yes, it shows in the way that my clothes fit, but now it shows in the numbers, too. I have proof.

    So, I will finally get to change my stats, and let everyone know how much I have lost.

    I have stayed with the program, I do have a few "carby" things. I eat double fiber oatmeal bread, one or two slices a week. I have found that things that spur a craving and have eliminated them from my diet.

    This is the only, ONLY plan that has ever taken any weight off of me. I have never been able to move down into the 270's range, before Atkins.

    I know this is long, but, thank you to all of you who post on this board. You have helped me more than you will ever know.

    AWESOME JOB KATHY. Way to stay with it, even thou you didn't see the scale moving. A Lot of people would have quit by now. It was worth it in the end.

      I know what you mean. I have a newer digital scale as well and what has been frustrating for me is that I can get on it 5 times in a row and come up with three different numbers. Now for a $60.00 scale I expected a little more accuracy. I think I like my old tried & true scale better.

            Measurements are less judgemental than scales. My piece of advice.

            When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.
