Weekly Weigh in...stupid scale!!

Ok, so we know I was having anxiety about my weigh in today right?  Well, I was so happy to report that I had NOT gained any weight.  When I got on the scale this morning it said 271.6.  I usually don't record the .somethings (although I think I'm going to start now).  When I got off the scale I thought "Awesome! No gained weight!!", which is what I was at LEAST hoping for.  Then I went back a little later to weigh again, just to make sure.  I stepped on the scale this time & it read 271.4.  Ok, whatever, I'll take that.  I decided that I'd take a picture of it to post on my blog so I went & got my cell phone & went back to snap the picture & holy hell if the stupid thing didn't say 273!!  Seriously?  I think my scale is messing with me!! I mean I was literally gone from the scale for like 1 minute!! And yes I know I didn't gain two lbs in that minute, but for some reason my scale has now decided I weigh 273 lbs!  Grrrrr!!

With that said, I suppose my weight is 273 this week, which means a 2 lb gain.  Of course, I'm not surprised or anything, especially after the last 2 days, but still, I wish I could have stuck with that first number!!  I guess if I hadn't of gotten on the scale 5,000 more times after I first weighed I could have stuck with that number.  I suppose that's what I get. 

Anyhoo.  Today is back to the regularly scheduled program of tracking my calories.  I don't have any dinners planned for the near future & I'm going to bring my lunches to school, so this week should be good. 

Lastly, I thought I'd share with you how I track my water consumption. I know most people use those fancy water bottles that have the ounces on the side.  Something like this:

 
But not me.  This is what I track my water consumption in:
 
 
A 32 ounce pickle jar :) 
 
Alright, well a new week is upon us, and I will continue to do what I do & hope that next week shows not only the loss of the stupid 2 lbs, but even more.  I'd like to have at least a -4 lb week this week.  That's my goal for next weigh in, I'd like to be down to 269.  269 is actually my January goal, but it's getting close to the end of January anyway, so here's hoping to -4 lbs on next week's weigh in. 
 
Hope everyone had a great weekend, looking forward to seeing everyone else's losses on the Biggest Loser challenge.  :)

    1. Yep!! A new week, new day & every hour is a chance to start over!! And honestly that's the key. The key is to never give up, which is where so many of us get tripped up. I'm not giving up this time no matter what. I'm never again going to look back & think "Man, if I had just stuck with this where would I be today." Nope, today is that day, I won't give up!!!!!!!!

  3. I cracked up while reading this. I had a similar incident last week and told the scale to get lost and I went with the smaller number. Ha ha

    You got this, and you are right...never give up!

  5. New follower. Found you through the challenge.

    I hate the scale for that reason. One minute you can be celebrating and the next disappointed. I wish it was more accurate. I do the multiple testing and then just try to find a happy medium. I would rather think i lost less weight than think more and be sadly disappointed more if i found out real number.

    Look forward to reading your blog more.

    1. That's why I went with the bigger number. I figured it would be easier to show a loss next week if I went with the bigger number & then I'd feel better :D
