devestated

[poppy100]

Now i do know that i am overreacting but i feel devestated. i have been to see the practice nurse and i have not lost any weight. the scales say i have stayed the same. i dont know how that can be when i weight myself every week and have clearly lost weight. it feels sureel. i dont cheat on the home scales. i weigh every week. anyway i did get a script not that i can get any tablets. :cry:

Were they the same scales you used at the surgery before poppy? My nurse always gets me the same ones, both the other two sets of scales show me +2 lbs.

It could be a natural fluctuation in your weight, different scales, that they have been re-calibrated since you last went, that you got weighed at a different time of the day, you wore different clothes, it could be a freak reading...it could be tons of things. You've worked really hard, and you should try hard not to let this dishearted you. It's just a reading on a scale on one day. Keep sticking to the plan, you'll look and feel better - no scale measures that.

thanks - it is dishartening but i haven't lost my focus to lose weight. i did show the nurse my troussers which are too big for me!
i usually love to go and get weighed as i have lost each time. i have booked my next appt and i will defo have lost.

Onwards & downwards Poppy, I am sure it was just a gremlin in the scales. I bet when you go next time there will be a great loss recorded xx

i have to be weighed by the practice nurse monthly and only if i lose will i get a script although this week she said you can get away with one month staying the same.

at home i weigh myself every friday at the same time in the buff ! i have weight watchers scales. they are digital (nurses use an ordinary scale) my scales weigh me heavier by about 6lbs but i am not bothered by that as long as i can see the direction my weight is going. i was just so disappointed howevr i have not given up. my troussers are all too loose - marks and spencers have a sale so i will be down there this week sometime.

Just explain to them that it is coming off in inches, happens with me I notice the difference in clothes more sometimes than on the scales

nurse did take my waist measurements but it is years since it was last done and it was more! still she has a measurement now so if i dont lose i will ask her to do my waist measurement.

At our practice I can gain 7kg by how I stand on the analogue scales so watch how you're standing next time. I weigh heavier if I'm standing near the back so I can also read the dial

I presume you're wearing the same clothes each time. Good luck, it'll be good that she has measurements too.

thanks for that tip! i had to see my GP today for another problem and whilst there i asked him to weigh me and funily enough i have lost 2kg since monday! so feel vindicated that i must have lost that on Monday and it had not shown. probably standing too far back!
