New scles and down to 104kg (27 kgs lost)

[Analog6]

I finally got my new body fat scales. I chose these ones because of the remote control, I had trouble reading the display down beneath my feet. And I am finally down to 104kgs! Only taken 5 weeks to lose that kg.




I also got myself a wrist unit blood pressure monitor so I can do it at home. Happy to report both mine 123/83 and Warwicks 16/86 in the comfortably nprmal range. I did measure after dinner and W had consumed a couple of glasses of wine, so it was probably not the best time to do it!

SOO happy to hear that scale finally gave you some satisfaction Odille! It feels good to see a number that tells you that you have been doing the right thing this whole time, huh?

Odille, I don't want to be a party pooper, but your blood pressure is still a tad bit high. They have dropped the "normal" for ladies our age to below 80 and yours is 83 . I have gotten mine down to 116/64 and I am so delighted, but I still take medication. That is my new goal, to get off the meds, and to get a doctor to agree to that is nearly impossible.
I love your new scale, as mind is evil and hates me and laughs at me everytime I step on it. Congratualtions.

That is awesome!! Weigh to go!! I am been thinking of getting a new scale, but am afraid to! What if it says I weigh more than the one I have now?? I would be so upset, but maybe after this tread I will get brave. That is such a neat scale, I didn't know they had one with a remote.

Sunflower, I got this scale on ebay (australia), there were two with remotes, I just liked the look of this one. I had a crisis with my scales on this plan, my original ones were reading (gulp) 23 kgs under, and I did not find out until week 8! It was pretty horrible. I know this readin gis right as I have also weighed at the gym, the cemist and the doctor and they are all around the 104-105 deoending on time of day and clothes on.
(Incidentally, when you put in your height, age, sex etc it tells you your ideal weight - mine came out at 63.9. As I was hitting for 63-68kgs, I'm pretty happy to go with it's estimate of 64.)

Desertthorn, I did not check my BP at a very good time, I had just finished dinner and wrestling with the parcel, and I have the flu at the moment, but wanted to see how it worked. Considering that in mid November it was 176/96 I'm pretty pleased with it, and I am still 40kgs overweight. I am confident it will drop more.

Hey, I like these scales, I lost another 1/2 kg (today is my regular weigh in day so I thought I'd jump on them even though I weighed yesterday). Only 3.5 to go and I'll be under 100kgs for the first time in I don't know how long!
