Hi Claire, could it be that your scales are a bit rubbish? I think in an earlier post they could be unreliable at times? Try not to let it get you down, when is your official weigh in with you CDC? X

No, princess cj's right - your scales are rubbish.
A 4 pound difference because you got on and off again? Well, don't get on them at all! Put them in the bin, hun, and 'weight' (ha, see what I did there? ) for your official weigh in.You body doesn't suck but your weighing habit does. Scales lie - you know that. :hug99:

Why Be Normal?
Hi Claire,
I agree with Lily and Princess CJ -- bin the scales. I only get weighed at my CDC's (which is why I went nearly a month without being weighed). Scale jumping is so bad for the morale.
I think JanelleKay is weighing herself at the Boots on a regular basis. That might be a good idea for you - moving scales can throw them out of calibration.
I hope your weekend (and madam's) is going well.

the reason i went to weighing at home was because i had myself convinced that it wouldnt matter if i cheated after weigh in or for a couple days after weigh in. some weeks i would still lose and no one was any the wiser, other weeks i would gain so i got the scales to force myself to look at the damage that was being done by my binges
problem is i bought the cheapest scales i could find, lol
i put madam on the scales earlier. first they told me she was 2st 9lb which i know isnt correct unless shes lost weight again and it doesnt look like she has. took her off and put her back on and this time it told me she was 3st, better number but still slightly up on her last hospital weight
the only weight i pay attention to is my cdc's weigh in thou

Oh god your scales sound absolutley bonkers! It's good that you used them to keep yourself accountable if you cheated but they sound really wrong to me so probably aren't giving you a correct result even if you do cheat so maybe aren't doing you any good? Maybe have a look online and see if tesco or amazon have any decent ones on sale? Hope you're having a good day. X

Why Be Normal?
Hi Claire,
I hope you are having a good Monday.
I am struggling as well atm. I am really going to have to get back into Beck in a big way. Using the ARCS help me to not cheat.
I do have some of those water/fat scales -- but I stopped using them because I was a "scale hopper" and the up/down thing was not good.

Mel, what is the ARCS? Sounds interesting!
Ladies, I didn't weight this morning....had to hide scales behind clutter rendering the mission to retrieve them more bother than it is worth mind...
Have a good Monday
