I feel really bad now at putting you off your WW scales!!!
Id definitely recommend Salter ones if youre going to replace them. Ive got them and theyre great
Glad youre having a good day - 11 points for dinner etc sounds like a great amount, Im sure you could squeeze a few treats in there
My WW scales are hilarious - they come with carpet feet and it says to use them for more accurate results when using the scales on carpet.
I tried them today without the carpet feet to see what happens and I lost 9 stone
Were they innaccurate or inconsistant?Just wondered I had WW ones but found they were really inaccurate, ended up returning them lol
Good luck with Friday
they sound goodHi i have ww glass scales and are very accurate and are the same as my ww group .....
I've gained 5 lbs over night on my new scales.
...compared to the same scales y'day?
I am thinking of returning them and getting weighed by the nurse at my doctors surgery.
Just waiting for an appt - it will probably mean that I will only weigh in once a month though but that shouldn't be a problem should it?
I'm sure monthly weighs will give a fab boost to the morale...if...you can mange the time between W/I's. A month is quite a long time esp at the start.
Eg when I started on here I updated my ticker twice a week to help me focus. Then I felt secure enough to do it weekly. Currently I could probably manage fortnightly, but to wait a month before getting a reward for work done? 30 days between getting confirmation that it's working & that my body isn't the one with the alien Metabolisnm? It's a lot to ask.

Hmm - I can't see the nurse until next Wednesday but I've had a brainwave.
There is a gym at work and I think they may have some of those scales that you pay to weigh yourself on. I thought if weighed myself at 8am tomorrow morning when I get to work and then every Friday morning ongoing - making sure I always wear the same clothes on a Friday - then that should work.
Perfect. available, should be reliable & you can't scale hop day & night.
I will certainly know that the scales are in the same place.
There weren't any scales at work in the end so I've still not resolved that issue.
SHAME!
I have done okay so far and had 11 points leaving plenty for dinner, etc

Wow this WW points diet is v powerful stuff.
To be fair to scales I think the way to give them the best chance of giving consistant results is to keep them in one place & to always use them in that one place. My bedroom carpet (which is from previous owner & of similar era to my scales) has an impression on it from the scales, so I always know where to put them.
Found the scales online at scales r us
sounds like a place that might sell weighing equipment then?
Is there not a Boots near you that has scales (that you pay to use) in? I know it's horrible getting weighed in public but it's the only thing I can think of if you're struggling to find consistent scales.
You seem to be doing well dietwise though so keep it up!
Hi Jane
Yes the 5 lb gain overnight was on the same scales in the same place (with the carpet feet on).
I wasn't overly impressed that Babyliss make the WW scales - it's a brand that I would associate with curling tongs and hair straighteners more than weighing scales. I think Salter is a better bet due to them making all sorts of weighing things.
Scales r us is great - free delivery within 2 days too.
I know what you mean about the scales not needing to be accurate as long as they are consistent but I like accuracy in all things. I am a bit like that!
The Boots in town doesn't have them - there are some in the toilet in the shopping centre though.
I should be okay once my Salter scales arrive, which should be by Wednesday
