I weigh in officially with my CDC every other week but record my own weight the weeks I don't see her. Last time she weighed me she had new scales as the previous set had broken the night of my week 12 weigh in. Last week her scales recorded me with a 1lb loss, but my scales said more like 4lbs. However I took her 1lb as the official loss as I know the losses will catch up and I still have a way to go.
Yesterday evening I popped to see her to change some tetras for bars and she offered to weigh me. Her scales said I had lost a further 2lbs, but my scales that morning said I had lost 6lbs. Weighed myself when I got home and again they didn't match hers. So this morning I weighed myself at Boots, and their scales matched mine rather than hers.
Now I know that scales can differ and my weight does fluctuate throughout the day but I think her new set of scales are nowhere near matching mine and Boots. I have dropped her a note to tell her what I weighed when I got home as she was concerned that her new ones were out. So I am recording this weeks loss by mine and Boots as they match. To be honest as long as my weight is going down and not up I am happy.
On a downside, the Boots scales measured my height at 5ft 5.2 or 166 cm, I thought I was 5ft 6 and 168 cm. So have changed this on my ticker and on my details on here and of course this changes my BMI - wah!!! I so want to get to a BMI of 30 and overweight but this is a setback - small in the greater scheme of things - but still annoying.
Sorry this turned out to be a bit of long post!! Hope everyone is having a good weekend...
