DOING SW FROM HOME???

Surely the lack of consistency makes them unfit for purpose?

Yeah I get that, on the other hand though I know when items are calibrated at my work they are always deemed accurate if they are +/- a figure. The worst fluctuation I've had is 3lbs on mine but generally it's 1lb here or there so I'm happy to assume that it is accurateish!

I almost paid a small fortune for some scales which also measured other things such as muscle mass etc. I saw in a magazine yesterday a recommended one is £40 for the whole bollocks although the scales only display the weight, an app displays all the other info. It's very tempting as when I've done a lot of cycling I've seen myself lose considerably less weight than when I've had a week of limited exercise. It would be nice to read the reason is my muscle mass has increased rather than just assuming this. I'll try and grab a pic of the article when I get home if I remember.

So the lack of consistency has annoyed me slightly today. Woke up and weighed, moved it around as usual, it was consistent. Had a cup of coffee, went to the toilet, weighed again, up by 4lb! That went in the opposite direction to how it usually would!

Anyway, I found the article I mentioned and these are the scales it suggests:


I am ordering that today. The thing which it receives negatives on from all reviews I've read - the display only displays weight, you need the app to get everything and getting the app is like giving all your personal info to a big company. I have a crap email I use for things like this so it doesn't bother me.

Hello lovely people. I’ve started back today. I have 6 weeks until I go on holiday so would love a stone off by then. My issue is the dreaded wine but stayed off it last night - I know I can do this

Welcome back susienoz

A lovely holiday is a great motivator for losing weight.

Good for you for staying off the wine last night

Thank you Mini xx

I didn’t realise MiniMins was up and running again - awesome to see it is. Not many updates from
People at the moment so I’m guessing this is recent.

Another night off the wine - stomach bloat has reduced already - I’m working afternoons today and tomorrow which I know the diet is easier for me. Mon-Thurs are my rest days - they will be the test

Having started group in June and weighing in at 10st 13lb with my size 14's becoming a squeeze, I am now 9st 4lb and a size 8-10.

Our group changed consultant 4 times and venue once so it has been very unsettled, and a lot of members are unhappy!
But I gave it a few weeks and it's no good, I don't feel comfortable in group, the venue is a s h I t hole and the consultant is male and not very good!

So I am going solo!

Any tips, success or horror stories about none group sw??? Get em posted ladies!

Together we can do this alone!!!

I did the same, it totally confused me. I asked them to cancel my membership and the gave me a full refund.
