Hi all,
i'm new to the forum but did the LL 5 years ago and lost 3.5 stone, but back again now to shed at least 2 stones if not a bit more second time around.
I have a dilemma though about whether to query with my consultant about the correctness of her scales, because im weighing myself at home on 2 sets of scales and i seem to be lighter.
After my first week of the diet, i weighed myself at home and was thrilled to see i had lost 8lb, but when i got to my group, it was only 5lb, i was so deflated. The consultant told me it may have been due to different times of day etc, so i didnt question it.
However, some 4 weeks down the line, and every week i feel the same, thinking i have lost more at home, then feeling low to find i have only lost a 1lb at group! :sigh:
I get weighed on Sundays at midday, and this week i was 15st on their scales, with only losing a measly 1lb, and i had stuck to it rigidly too! I dont feel or look 15st, so rather than use both my home scales, i went and weighed myself the day after on Monday at 9am, and was 14st 11lb! Surely i couldnt have lost 3lb overnight, with eating my 4 foodpacks and having water too????
I wasnt content with just having weighed myself at Lloyds chemist, so i went to another branch to weigh myself there, and i was the same, 14st 11lb! I came home and i was weighing in at just under, so my scales are only very slightly 'out' according to Lloyds.
What do i do?? Im just wondering if they are purposely weighing clients heavier than what they really are, to get them to stay longer on the diet, hence paying more by staying to lose more weight? Its just my mind working overtime now, and i know my consultant wont be happy with being questioned, and then i will feel bad, and feel like i wont be 'welcome' anymore, if she knows im on to her?
I next have to go for a pop in on Thursday as i cant attend this Sunday, and im thinking of going to Boots an hour before i go to see her, and get a printed out slip with my weight on from one of their machines to actually show her, that just under an hour ago i was actually lighter than what she is weighing me in at, and then see what she says, what does everyone else think? Shall i ask her or just keep quiet? Its driving me nuts not knowing my correct weight loss each week, and not having my true weight recorded on my card.
Thank you, x
