How do you put on 3 pounds in one day without eating (and, sorry for this, pooing) any differently?
Marge also found that she had put on 2 pounds overnight.
Everything pointed to the obvious culprit, the weighing machine. It is a decent make (Salter) and only a couple of years old. I decided to change the batteries.
With new batteries, I had dropped to 12 stones 8.6 pounds, and that was within half-an-hour.
Today I weigh 12 stones 8.8 pounds.
Time for a new weighing machine?
Or will the new one be similarly inaccurate?

Re: Weighing machine
I was a slimming world member for years. A lot of the women wouldn't drink a cup of tea during the afternoon weigh in because half a pint of liquid weighs heavy . I would follow the slim plan all week and on weigh in day had gained 2lb which was devastating. The clothes you wear make a difference too , always wear same clothes. I've seen women take off jumpers prior to getting on the scalesHence I'm now overweight because I cant stand the paranoia when weighing in each week the highs and lows are upsetting

Re: Weighing machine
Can I make a suggestion over and above Megs' one about putting scales on a solid foundation?Take your scales to your local weighs and measures people and get them checked with their set of standard weights. Once you know the difference between their weights and what your scales are reading, you can apply this difference to your own weight when weighing yourself.
However, IMHO, the best scales to use are the old fashioned beam and weight scales like they use for boxing match weigh-ins.
