That's great La Follia, well done! I weigh myself everyday, even though I shouldn't and before I went for weigh in tonight I checked and I was 16st 10lb, in SW though after fiddling with the scales and resetting she told me to get on and I weighed 17st 0.5lb, knowing myself I worked really hard this week, eating 1200 calories a day and walking 4 to 5 miles a day, I really have to doubt their scales, I brought the scales downstairs when I came home and got my husband to double check on a firm concrete floor and he confirmed 16st 10lbs. So with the fact that I'm only going to SW for the weigh in but actually following the my fitness pal calorie counting plan means that I will no longer attend SW and continue on with my own plan which means I've lost 1st 9lbs since February 15th. I really felt awful after weigh in tonight and as my husband says I'm doing so well and why would I want to pay SW €10 per week to make me feel like crap. She wasent even supportive.

I find I tend to weigh 1-2 kilo more on SW scales than I do at home too, but I think for me it's just that my scales are old (at least 10 years!!!) and definitely a bit dodge, if you weigh multiple times in a row on mine it tends to vary...
1 st 9 since Feb 15th is amazing - I say keep doing what is clearly working for you!

Thanks.
The trouble with using different scales is that they may well be different to each other. so, if you use your home scales, or the chemist, or SW or whatever sticking to just the one set will give an accurate picture of how you are doing.
Sorry you're feeling unsupported, you might as well carry on the way you are and just stick to your scales. You are doing really well to have been shedding those pounds, do what feels right for you X

Weigh in today and I'm -7lbs!! I know first weeks usually give big results but I wasn't expecting that. Now 17. 3! Hopefully out of this bracket within 2 weeks!
