Finally! A Happy Scale Story

I've been weighing in at Dr. Hart's office once a week since my surgery. I've been averaging about 3 pounds per week. I should note that I have not been able to use my scales at home, because they only go up to 330 pounds. Anything over that, and you just get a big "E" for error. Last Wednesday, I weighed in at 333 at the dr.'s office. For some strange reason, I decided to step on my as-yet-unused bathroom scale, and lo and behold, no "E". It said 326. Stunned, I stepped off immediately, fearing the end of the world. After composing myself, I stepped back on, and once again, I saw 326. I still can't believe it! I'm so thrilled!! Of course, I realize that my home scale and the "official" one at the dr.'s office are bound to register different weights, this was still a MAJOR victory for me.

What a VICTORY for you!! HOORAY!!!!!! SO very happy for you... I sure know how wonderful it feels when that ol' scale finally drops! Take care!! Tami

Thanks! It's finally happening!

CONGRATULATIONS CATHERINE!! Enjoy that feeling and keep up the good work!!!! Soon you'll be in the 200's!!!!

Thanks for sharing in my joy. I don't know even how many years it's been since I was in the 200s.

Congrats!! It's a great feeling, isn't it - stepping on the scale and not seeing that darned old "E". The limit of 330 lbs is why I have TWO scales at my house!! When Dr. Hart wanted me to lose some weight before my surgery, I had no way of checking at home, so I bought a new scale that went up to 380. Now, if I could just get the two to AGREE If one was always heavier than the other, that would be one thing, but they take turns being heavier & lighter. It's very annoying. At least they both agree I"m under 300 now (YIPEE!!!) In fact, I'm down to 290!! Ann in Duluth
