so.

I weighed myself at the gym yesterday and found that I was 239lbs. This would mean that I had put on 3lb this week. I wasnt happy as have been working my ass off this week.

so i went home thinking gym scales must be wrong. so went on my scales. 235, then went on again and they said 238, a third readng said 243.!! I tested them with a bag of flour and got a different weight each time I put it on..

so i guessed that my ancientscales had given up after all i had put them through. I was raging. I couldnt trust any of the previous weights I had taken. I have no idea waht my true start weight or weigh-in los have actually truly been!

after intial anger, i am seeing the funny side now and have bought a brand spanking new set of digital scales. they read 239 ( bloody gym had to be right!)

so im starting afresh this week, not going to let this technical disaster put me wrong. just going to be patient and see what the (new) scales say next week.

Not going to weight in tmo so shall hopefully be logging an ( accurate) loss this time next week.

Am really feeling good about all of this at the moment, im actually enjoying making 'good' choices and feeling more in control of eating. this fels different from previous ill-fated attempts at shifting weight, fingers crossed this time really is different.
