Whenever I weigh myself with my shoes on, I always announce something like, “OH, my shoes added 5 lbs!” Or if I’m barefoot, I say something like, “My clothes added 7 lbs!” Everyone (me and maybed DH) knows I’m lying, but we’re just cracking jokes.

I know for a fact that the scale in my doctor's office runs at least 15 pounds high. My digital scale and Wii Fit at home don't lie. .-= Carly´s last blog ..changes to blog post footer =-.

I no longer weigh myself at all, not at home, nor at the doctor’s office. They respect that wish. There may come a time when I decide to get back on the scale, but for now, no scale for me. I am not in denial by any stretch…and there are plenty of other “measurements” of my health.

I recently went to my doctor's office and I weight 10 pounds more than my home scale was reading. Granted, i have a crappy home scale and it is relative. I lost 8 pounds according to the home scale, ergo I lost 8 pounds. .-= furiousball´s last blog ..Girl seen in tire swing =-.
