LOL...you are a wise woman...Many on this very website have said...AND I QUOTE..."The scale lies"...LOL....Keep on doing the right things and the scale will...OVER TIME...confirm our good habits...AND the scale is JUST one tool... Keep on Keeeping on...you are NEARING a MILESTONE...:) 

Thank you for your continuous support :)  

Agreed! I step on my scale like five times and take the reading that comes up the most! lol I don't know what to do but laugh sometimes. I do know that the math does not lie. What goes in vs. what goes out. I set a calorie deficit for each day. A pound of fat = 3500 calories. When I get to where I have a total of 3500 calories as a deficit over a certain time, I know that I have burned off a lb of fat no matter what the scale says and just keep on working on the next pound of fat. So important is that exercise each day. Without it, it is so hard to get those calorie deficits that I so desperately need. Keep on going and God bless. Ashock34 

Sometimes I do what Ashock does if I am unhappy with the first step on the scale. As long as you use the same scale every day and note how your clothes feel you will be tracking well. 

Keep this in mind: the only thing the scale reflects are numbers. Use it as a guideline, but nothing more. Instead of stepping on the scale every day, try spacing it out to weighing yourself either every other day or just less than 3 times a week. You will probably notice a big difference, provided you continue eating and exercising like you are now. 

Ashock and yugguth : yea me too i do so :D i step on the scale many times in different places and it gives me different numbers !! yea i wont take it for serious LoadGod : i just want to monitor myself .. and make sure that i don't put on weight but u r right i should weight 3 times per week but it's an old habit :) ! Thank u guys for your support .. i appreciate it  

Dalia...I agree!! was so excited when I saw a 7 pound drop in one week...then the next day up by 2 lbs?? Not right , so I moved it to the kitchen floor and in actuality it was only a 3 1/2 pound drop...BIG DIFFERENCE...so you cant go back and change your weigh in here so it looks like I gained !! I think I finally got it though, and once a week is good for me...but I just LOVE seeing it go down!! 

Use as tape measure to see the inches lost! 

i only record the lowest weights; i consider any ups to be either a scale error or just normal body weight fluctuations :)
