OK. I've changed my eating habits for the better, my clothes are

[SeattleGirl]

fitting better, I feel better, but tell me this.

Why in the HELL does my scale say I've gained 7 pounds??? :crazy:

Does. Not. Compute.

1. Are you working out?

You may be toning up and losing inches....and they say that muscle weighs more than fat.

Either that, or your scale is broken. :P :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Scale must be broken......

Since I pulled the muscle in my chest, I can't do a lot of physical stuff until it heals, even though I wanted to.

Weird, huh?

:hi:

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. Hey....

If you feel better and your clothes are fitting better, you must be doing something right! To hell with the scale!

[SeattleGirl]

5. Yeah, that's what I'm starting to think.

The scale may lie, but my clothes don't.

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. I can proudly say that I have the exact same situation as you...

But in my case, it is because I am wearing bigger clothes, and because I got so pissed at my scale, I smashed it against the wall and broke it.

[SeattleGirl]

9. Sometimes, I'm tempted to hang on to the wall in order to

lessen the weight on the scale.

Boy, am I a dork!

I'm a dork, I'm a dork, I'm a dork, dork, DORK!

I'm a dork, I'm a dork, I'm a dork, dork, dork!

I'm a dork, I'm a dork, I'm a dork, dork, DORK!

I'm a DORK!

I'm a dork DORK dork!

4. You may be retaining water.

Screw the scale. Go by how your clothes fit and how you feel.

[SeattleGirl]

6. That's definitely been a problem for me the older I get.

:crazy:

8. More muscle, less fat. Muscle weighs more. Pay no attention to scales.

If your clothes fit better, that's what counts.

[SeattleGirl]

10. I know.

Just drives me bat crap crazy though, when the clothes fit better but the scale says LIAR LIAR LIAR!

:hide:

[Kitty Herder]

11. Call it a liar back!! nt

[Flaxbee]

12. throw away the scale.

We don't have one in the house; haven't for years. I have a pair of jeans that fit perfectly when I'm at my ideal weight, and if they're at all tight, I know it's time to lay off dessert or whatever I'd been indulging in.

Scales, IMO, cause a lot of anxiety.

Congrats on eating better! Healthy lifestyles are much more important than some arbitrary number on a scale.

13. Your scale is Republican and lying to you? nt

14. I find that i fluctuate quite a bit. I tend to nibble instead of cooking full meals

cause I live alone. Then sometimes I splurge on fast food.
