Obesity Support Group
This community is dedicated to those of us struggling with obesity. Obesity is thought to be a significant risk factor in certain health conditions, leading to increased mortality. Find the support you need by sharing your story, asking questions, and learning from others on how they have coped.

Please compare your weight with a doctor's office scale... I honestly don't think your scale is accurate. Don't lose hope and faith in yourself because you are worth your time and efforts. Your family and friends love you and want you to be successful and happy.
My advice... get rid of your old scale. Make monthly appointments with your doctor for check ups and weigh ins. Keep monitoring your calorie intake. Find healthy snacks instead of candies, fatty foods, and carbs. Keep walking and dancing. Ask your family for their support and ideas to keep you on track. Take care and keep fighting. You will get there in time.
Hugs.
Good luck to you.
That should help to solve the issue of whether your scale is correct or not. I know my digital one seems to get stuck on some numbers sometimes and has a memory function so I am not sure it is 100% correct either. I am going to get out my rotary one and use both on my official weigh in day on Jan 2nd with the Chronic Pain Group Jenalone started. Just have to find it again.
Either way, if the scale is not off or if it is, you should still be very proud of your efforts Lillian. And watching sodium can be a help.
Keep me posted and shoot me a pm when you are feeling better.

1 of my Dr scales shows 4 lbs more than my home scale. my other Dr scale shows 2 lbs less than my home scale.
I brought a reg scale from Wal mart $25.
w a marker I outlined it on kitchen floor. so when I weigh in I set the scale in same place n I sort of step on scalle to make sure its set bk onto zero. then I step on scale to weigh in.
I go by my home scale weight.I also go by my jeans.
I have diffrent sizes of my old jeans. even diffrent sizes of my old jeans - my skinny jeans.
I use scale n sometimes measureing tape n most time a pr of jeans. I will use same pr of jeans for quite sometime until I can easily not only zip jean up but easily buton them, then I will go to next size down jeans.
I hate to say this but it may be a few mo's before I wash the current jeans that I go by to gadge my weight lose. It's not like I wear them n get them dirty.
When I wash my jeans I line dry them ,, yes I iron them will I don't iron the pants leggs. I do so to help un shrink them. I know that for a while they will be tighter than they should be after I wash them because they have shrunk.
As far as loseing so much weight in short time I think that it might maybe be possible only because I know that I can lose 10 lbs a wk. I don't do so because I want to keep what little funtioning mind that I have n I don't want to die nor have such alful effect of such on my family...
If your loose ing as fast as you say. Please take muti vitamin. when needed, I take 2 . I take 1 in morning n 1 at bed time.I always take muti vitamin in morning.
