    Home scale was totally wrong! 19lb loss?!!

    Well all...it appears I have lost much more than I thought.

    Apparently my home scale isn't worth crap anymore and I am going to try and find a new one.

    I started on the 15th at 300.6 per my doctors office. I got on the scale today and I was ...drum roll...

    280 even.

    What the heck. And they looked at me....and did it again....and then a third time. I went and got my home scale...and showed them and they said my floor must be off balance or the scale is broken now....

    19lbs??!!??

    Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo

    I kept weighing at home the last week going I feel "thin" as in not bloated and belly full....like before atkins. My clothes were really loose ....and this one pair of pants was fitting loose. And I was getting frustrated.

          Wow! What an awesome surprise! My doctors scale is usually 4-5 lbs MORE mostly because I have on clothes and have been drinking water....you really DO need a new home scale! You must be over the moon!


          Started: 3/2/09

          ~280~270~260~250~240~230~220~210~200~190

          Realistic Final Goal: 190
          Stretch Goal: 140


          Successfully did Atkins in 1998 using 1992 copy of the book...before it was "hip". Lost 60lbs, exercised daily, felt and looked great. And then I moved in with a junk-food loving man, my mom got sick and passed away, then I suffered a spinal cord injury, and junk-food dude left me...and now I weigh 292lbs. That's 22lbs MORE than I weighed the first time around. It's 10 years later...I know this will work for me again.

            I am actually in shock'!! lol

            The nurse looked at me and said its always 10 lbs heavier not nearly 15 lbs lighter! She said if I can't find a scale today that reflects what they have to just come in and weigh weekly with them.

            Wooooooo I am going to go for a walk to celebrate then have a nice healthy lunch!

              Since a few people messaged me....I am jogging twice a day. Once early am for approx 2 miles, and then before bed for 2 miles. I calorie count to about 1550 calories per day and then I also do sit ups...right now I am at 150 per day....I am trying to work up to 250.

                  I tink a huge part of it is the amount of excercise I am doing in combination with the diet. Doctor said it has to be.
