The slightest rocking of the scales is a NO NO. Test each corner of scales with one finger (pressing slightly). If you feel movement try moving scales..
Standing one foot on each scales does not count.
Is it ok to support yourself by resting a hand 'lightly' on the nearby towel rail;)?

Down one kilo to 64kg, which considering I've not been allowed to exercise this last week is ok by me. Want to submit that before I mysteriously put that kilo back on again, whihc no doubt I will!!!
PS, I always weigh myself on my own scales on exactly the same tile on the bathroom floor and I recalibrate them each time. Can't be too sure!!! :wink:

Kind of same thing.. My Scales is in a room with dodgy wooden floors but after much effort I found a 'flat' spot which is now marked ;). Unfortunately it shares the same spot with the drying horse :thunbdown:Quote:

I think this 5 lb chillblain I have acquired might set me back a bit tomorrow when I weigh myself :rolleyes:
83.1 kg this morning. Loss of 2.2 kg :)
170lbs, steady as she goes
165.6 lbs (no rounding up here :rolleyes: )
was 66.7 kilos now 65.9 kilos not exactly a massive loss (about 1.5 pounds)
had rounded previous figures but revised that decesion !
Following Alf's lead with no rounding 167.6 lb steady start.
Well done Master Doc and thanks for the work on keeping this thread alive.
I always round to the nearest integer, measuring body weight is at best a vague thing and I prefer to record a trend rather than an exact weight.
Otherwise I'd only ever weigh myself before drinking a pint of water and never after. That's 1.253lbs right there.
:closed:
That's one off for me 94kg this morning, although I think it may be two as when I weighed myself properly at home I was actually 96kg not 95kg.
Anyway calibrated now so on with the losing.
9stone 12 on New Years Day
10stone Monday morning
3 kilos lighter - hoped to lose at least that but now for the hard slog shifting the rest...
68.5kg (from a start of 69kg) which is pleasing as not running due to injury and been tempted by rich food on ski holiday.
discplined self to only eat at mealtimes - hard at first but that's getting mentally easier.
11 stone half a pound for me today which is 1.5 pounds down from starting. I tend to fluctuate a couple of pounds either way seemingly at random though so not reading too much into it at the moment.
Started a food diary but promptly stopped it after a day so I need to get into the habit of doing it.
A pound lost here and my trousers feel very loose now on what had become my standard hole in my belt
Ya I get that as well, probably caused by fluid retention.Quote:

Because of this thread last year I went from a 34" waist to a 32" waistQuote:

Ok done the As to Ps.
Can people who reposted the table just delete it. Make it easier to for people to read back through the thread if it is not full of multiple versions of the same table.
Thank you so much DrP - what date are we next to report/confess?Quote:

I finally bought some scales. It wasn't as bad as I thought and I've only gone on them three times and that was to check the accuracy (I weighed the same each time). 139lbs. I'd like to be 134ish by the summer. I'm probably too late to join you all?
Remember Hes there's nothing to be scared of; scales are nice ;) xQuote:
