So...I've been using my scale since the WLC started..same scale I've had for a long time, but didn't use while I was pregnant -- just relied on doctors' scale etc. Well a few weeks ago I stopped having any losses -- I had one "perfect" week and gained! Needless to say I was very frustrated. However, it was all within 2 lbs. so I had no reason not to trust my scale. Well this week each time I stepped on the scale it was way lower and vastly different than the time before -- like a 12 lb. swing. I figured it was the battery and bought a new battery today. Each time I step on it is the same weight, but about 10lbs. lower than the last time I thought the scale was working -- last week! Obviously, not possible -- I know myself..not possible. So I'm thinking the battery has been going (it would flash "Lo", but seemed to work fine)...so I don't know what my starting weight was...If I trust what the scale says it would be about a 25 lb. loss which I suppose is possible given the amount I have to lose.
I'll weigh again in the morning and see what it says on an empty stomach etc. I do have my measurements, which I know are accurate and I know the number isn't that important...WWYD?

It is a WW scale..lol!
Ok so DH tested it out and its 2 lbs less than when he weighed a few weeks ago..totally accurate he feels. So I'm going to take my starting weight as "real" (it jived with my last doctor's appointment) and will weigh in the morning.

do you let is zero out before getting on? My scale will do that it told me I weighed 84lbs the other day LOL but if I let it zero out before getting on its always dead on. Just a thought
Oops! I do let it zero out..it actually won't work if you don't.
My last weigh-in at the OB would be a good "real" starting weight...I have no reason to go there though...hmm...maybe I could make up a UTI or something...(kidding)
