23 January 2008 - 14:44Scales, Why You Gonna Be Like That?

So I have taken Roni’s advice and I weight myself first thing every morning. Just to make sure I’m on the right tract. I don’t freak out about a number–I just like to have some guidance. I do freak out when my scale jumps plus or minus two pounds in the matter of seconds. Do your scales do that too? First hop on–one pound gain. No problem. I can deal with that. Second hop on-two pound gain. In 24 hours? I’m not so sure. Third hop on-two and half pound loss from previous day’s weight. Fourth hop on-Same as third. I quit after four tries. I wasn’t risking my scales being temperamental again. And my scales almost always do this, fluctuate two to three pounds the first couple of times I hop on in the morning. Maybe I need new scales. Maybe I should stop hopping and just gently step on the scales. :)
