Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Ok gang...I try to stay away from the scales...I really do...But today I went to work out at the gym at school so I decided to weigh myself this morning, then weighed myself at the gym to compare the scales. My home scale said 321. The scale at school said 315. Some guy put a 10 lb. weight on the scale in the gym and it was dead on. Which do I go by?? My home scale is a digital and it's supposed to be right on the money...but when compared to the gym scale.....What do I believe???

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I know this will sound crazy and it may just be some weird phenomenon that only applies to me so take it for what it's worth ok?..... The first time the scale stopped moving I was totally bummed. Didn't move for days. Then I got really busy with my women's group for a couple of days and so I was not able to exercise for like 2 days. Suddenly the scale started to move. The second time it stopped I did everything I was supposed to...drank more water, ate more protein, got in extra calories...nothing changed. So finally I thought well not exercising worked before so I stopped for two days and again the scale started moving. So now when I am at a stand still for more than a couple of days I stop exercising for 1-2 days. It always works. I have no idea why. Maybe because I am not burning calories and therefore my body isn't trying so hard to hold on to them? dancinnanceez@...] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 7:23 PM To: Gastric_Bypass_Family Subject: SCALES I hope my bathroom scales is wrong...I go for my almost 6 week check up before I go back to work and I have been stuck for 2 weeks, exercising my butt off! and nada!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 You will have to let me know what happens. As I said it may just be a coincidence.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Well, had my doctors appt yesterday, where I weighed the same as i did on my scale and the same I have weighed for almost two weeks(i think)...Dr. of course told me about muscle weighing more than fat, but I am nonetheless discouraged...oh well, I am going back to work on Monday and I have a pretty fast paced job(plus playing catch-up) should help speed things up...
