Snarebear, you're down 30 POUNDS in your first month....30 POUNDS!!! Don't sweat whether you're 255 or 253 today. Congratulations on a phenomenal loss! My own digital scale won't read anything when the battery is not in peak condition; it displays EEEEE. And, some digital scales have to re-calibrate themselves when moved. With my HoMedic, I have to just lightly touch it so it reads a few pounds, then let it go back to 0 and let the display turn off.....then it's ready to go. 

Thanks Sandy, I know what a huge achievement I've done, I guess I'm just impatient. I want to see immediate results you know? I just have to learn to be patient. I'm going to see if i need to recalibrate it or not, I might give in and get a new one.. since this one is pretty old.  

I had bought a pink breast cancer awareness scale awhile back.. that calulated ur fat and water content.. well within like ONE MONTH.. the thing went haywire.. and we opted for a cheap old normal scale now!! .. You did lose a lot Erin.. and such a good job.. that you totally inspired me! You can do it missy! Toss the scale and get another one!  

We've all had the scale snafu. Just sucks, don't it? Snarebear, you have lost a phenomenal amount of weight VERY quickly. The loss was/is bound to slow down to a more normal pace. You can't keep losing 30lbs every 30 days, it's impossible, or none of us would be on Fatsecret right now! There will even be times, sometimes weeks, where you've kept to your plan faithfully and aren't losing, but you just gotta hang in there because it WILL pay off. You have done such an awesome job so far, you're my inspiration!
