    Scales

    Anyone else hate how 1 scale weighs you different then the other. I mean what's with that? Aren't we advanced enough to make a product be almost exact whether it's better or not. I say NERF them! They only bring sour events. MUWHAHA :P

    Seriously I have been weighing on the scale at my bf's it's not a digital scale. But the one at home is. So I'm really nervous to weigh myself on it. I mean I'm excited about weighing under 200 that I know that scale is going to be a meanie!!!

    So who is with me LET'S BURN THOSE SUCKERS!!! Party!


    Hehe sorry just being silly in a bad situation. (it's bad for me

      Re: Scales

      I was fed up with the inacuracies of the floor scales (i'd get off and right back on and have 2 different weights! ) so I splurged on myself and bought the doctor's office type beam scale... couldn't be happier with it! It was $150 off of amazon, which isn't all that bad considering some of the digital scales i've seen can cost $70+... Now my only problem is everyone wants to come over and use it!! haha

        My scales upstairs at home give me a ten-or-so pound range depending on how my feet are placed! It's really weird

            Re: Scales

            I know! Mine at home was giving me one weight, went to the dr's and got pretty much the same weight plus a lb, then went to my moms (right after the drs) and said I was down 6 lbs just since leaving the drs! haha!

            I would just take the one at the drs word but it was just a floor model dail one so its nessesarily better than mine. Im just gonna keep going by mine. I have a new digital (cheap digital) and a old non dig one.

            On my digital one, depending on where my feet are placed I get several lb differences. Crazy!

              Re: Scales

              Okay now my scales are making a liar out of me, haha! My cheapo sunbeam digital scales say IM two lbs lighter than my 10 yr old non digital ones. Also now no matter where I place my feet its giving me the same reading. Guess my scales are having a good night, haha.

                Anybody up for a grand experiment? Go to a hardware or other store selling lots of scales, and step on several different sets of the same brand and model. (If you plant to buy one, too, be sure to pick the one that's "nicest" ) LOL

                  lol you all are so funny!

                  I say the one with the -6lbs sounds good to me

                  Either way I guess the only thing I look for is not gaining... doesn't matter what it says just that some how it eventually contains a loss.

                  But I guess that's why I should measure more often then weighing.


                  but thanks guys you made me laugh
