    Oh, and I'm still sticking to the diet - I was getting very depressed because no matter how hard I dieted, I didn't lose any weight, in fact this morning, I appeared to have put 2lbs back on. Then I moved the scales to the bedroom, and instantly it went down by 6lbs! :confused: Either the scales are dodgy or the floors are wonky. So take your pick - I have either gained 2lbs or lost 4lbs. :rolleyes: :)

    Never one to lower the tone of the reading material....
    Umm is your bathroom floor hard :D It's a well known effect with an engineering based reason.... certain types are more prone - umm the bathroom floor is likely to have been the most accurate...

    No, funnily enough, the bedroom one is the harder of the two......woohoo!

    Edit - Actually, they're about the same.

    Riiiiiight.....going to bring the scales downstairs and do it in the kitchen!!!!

    Makes sense - the harder should be the most accurate and if the bathroom is softer it's because of your fulcrums bending that it's overreading....
    See kids engineering is fun :rolleyes: We really do get paid to do this stuff :D

    Best go out on to the drive and do it in the street - concrete/tarmac that's well hard.

    I was just thinking about doing this, but am now wondering if I'm being borderline obsessive! :rotfl:

    Well, I suppose all I can do is just weigh myself in exactly the same spot every day, and hope for the best.

    If I improve my mind, that doesn't mean my brain will get heavier does it? :D

    I must admit weight had never been an issue for me, but in the last 2 years I have put on over a stone and a half, and am now feeling sluggish. Its been put down to the hormone treatment I get since my hysterectomy. But I weighed myself at DBF on the weekend and I am now 9stone 10. 61.5kg. I have been down as far as 8st 4. Didnt dare do that on KG at the time. I think I am best and normally at 58kg. But I am going to have to do something for the first time in my life about stopping going up!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    I put weight on after having my DS, because I couldn't walk for 6 months. Never really managed to get it back down. Because my joint problems haven't been as bad with this pregnancy, I feel like it's time to tackle it now. But exercise is difficult, because even walking round the shops today, I was getting the clicking and the twinges.

    Life's too short to worry about it too much though, eh? Let's face it, after 2 kids, I'm NEVER wearing a bikini again anyway! :D
