I'm on WW, and my second weigh in will be on Thursday morn. I've been religiously counting the points, weighing stuff and keepnig a record (using the online tracker as well as my bits of paper). This might sound weird but I feel like I've been eating too much, been counting adn recounting just now as I've just finished a massive tea of beef bolognaise but with pancakes not pasta.

l!

This is what me and my OH have been saying but i supopose it gets you up to what your body needs to burn off what it needs, if you know what I mean. Anyway i've lost two weeks running and weigh again tomorrow and my scales say i have lost again, so fingers crossed eh!

Ems!

Welcome back Lois! hope u had a good time!!

I'm being good again this week after "relaxing" the sw rules somewhat last week resulting in a maintain - fingers crossed for tomorrow! Am having a red day for a change 2day so will see how that goes - to go with our meat for dinner 2nite i have bought a mountain of swede and carrot to mash up as a potatoe substitiute so will see how i will go with that - so far i am no hungrier than i usually am but have had a load of fruit so maybe the test will come tonight after dinner!

How often are SW scales calibrated if you don't mind me asking?

Not very often actually, I've had mine over 2 years and they've never been done.
They are insured for over £300 so I presume they're the best and therefore meant to last.
However, I understand that we are to get new ones sometime this year, along with some sort of gizmo that does away with the need for the weight record sheets. "Taking it into the 21st Century" is how it's being promoted, so we'll see. Personally, I hate new technology, so I'm a bit nervous about the training (which starts soon) :eek:

Thanks consultant31. I was "told off" today due to making a joke about the scales being wrong! My consultant said they are the best scales and therefore won't be wrong but my argument was that everything goes wrong at some time or another (I was only joking after all).
Do you think it makes a difference as to where the scales are on a weekly basis? I always thought that scales needed to be in the same place, same floor type etc etc......

Hee hee cheekymole. I make that joke far too often - especially as the whole class sometimes swings in the same direction (recently about 10 of us all happened to gain half a pound on the same week was a bit spooky).

Actually where they're placed really doesn't make a difference with these scales. You can lean to left or right, stand on one leg or whatever, :rotfl: and they'll still show the same reading. But like you said, everything goes wrong at some point and I was surprisedmyself, that they aren't checked out every year or so.
The thing is, even with a 100% week, sometimes it just doesn't show on the scales on weigh-in day. Stick with it and it should be an extra good loss next week, when it catches up. Have you ever noticed that some weeks the scales say "NO" and the tape measure says "YES,YES,YES". :T

I love swede and carrot mashed together. It's nice with parsnip in as well

Hi CM - Sorry I had logged off as I was sneaking on in work.
I take it the questions about the scales have something to do with a weigh in - did it not go to plan??!

On track today, read my SW bible again last night, so far so good, although I did have a kitkat but I was stressed earlier and thats been my only syns for the day so far.

I think the type of floor does make a difference. On a thick carpet the whole device sinks and weighs incorrectly. The best is to put the scales on a level, firm area.
