Well, I'm at least heading down again....Dec 02 2006 17:38
Well, I weighed myself twice today because I couldn't quite believe what I had seen the first time. I typically weigh myself around 11-12 in the morning, so when I got up around 9:30 AM for a bathroom run, I stepped on the scale. It came up with 387.6, which would be my new low weight. However, considering I had been hovering around 395ish for the last week (esp due to that bingeing fiasco last weekend) I figured that there was no way I could have dropped that much weight in a week. So I headed back to bed (had only been asleep for about 5 hours, was still tired) and got back up around 12:30 (noon) for another bathroom run - aaah the wonders of an overactive bladder! - I stepped on the scale again and it read 395.6, which seemed closer, however since I had been doing really good on the diet since the binge, I didn't think I would have really done the same all week either, so I took the 2 weights and came up with an average, and used the answer (391.6) as my weight for the day. I figured that was probably closer to the actual weight. I just have a hard time believing that I could be 387.6 - that would be a drop of about 7+ lbs. ???
Sorry, just rambling.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying warm. ::hugs::

Back away from the scales! (Well, it's one way to stay sort of sane--weigh yourself only once a day or even once a week) This advice brought to you by a woman who weighed herself SIX times today. Argh! |
Katier, 6 times?? Ok... stepping back...... |
not that it justifies my obsession, but I would like to point out that I got five different answers. (hard not to step on the scale just a leeetle bit later just to see what it says now. . . and, hey, sometimes it beats having a life.) |
Ok -- just curious... when it gives you different readings (and none of them match or are even close), do you just not log in the weight for that day, take the average, take the highest, lowest or what? I'm curious what others on the site do in that case. |
I take the lowest one, natch. Science and accuracy be damned -- I don't want to be any more depressed than I have to be. |
LOL *love* your logic!!! I'm starting to think the 387 wasn't so bad, except it would mean I now gained, however if I go by jeunene's thinking, I just won't log the gains - just the losses! LOL |
Heh :) no, I did not get your emails. Sometimes aol blocks small isp's. I don't get it. Sorry about that. I set up a private entry in my journal just for you that no one can see. You can leave the info there... Scales... The 1st time i step on is always not good. The 2nd time is always like 3 lbs more (and the 3rd usually matches #2) So I get on, get off and back on... That's the # I always take is #2. Weird but have you noticed you can change the # by leaning forward, sideways, stand on the corner, smack it around??? hehehehe... i try just to not mess with myself. I try to stand center, no jiggling and I take the 2nd #... then I make myself walk away and forget about it.... otherwise I can get a little obsessive and hop on every 30 mins... ;) cheers, |
