I'm a little miffed!! (xpost)

Got the reminder phone call yesterday about trip to see Dr. Kuhn today.  I thought it was going to be next month.  No biggie.

Here is where I got miffed.  They had done extensive remodeling and moved their scales out into the hallway.  Prior to today they had been isolated in a little nook where you get lose more than just your shoes before you got on the scales.  I'm talking down to your BVD's if you wanted to go that far.  With the scales out in the hallway that was not an option!  Best I could do was take my shoes off, remove the cell phones and empty my pockets.  So in TW's, socks, T-shirt and camo shorts w/belt.....I was at 175.5!  

Beats the **** out of 331 pounds three years ago!

I have always thought the scale at the WLS office weighs a little on the high side.  It amazes me when I weigh myself getting into the shower and then after I am dressed, it can easily be 10 pounds heavier dressed.

I just worry about the weight on my home scale, it is the one that lets me know if my weight is stable or changing.

good luck

Dude you have done so great and should be so proud of your body and results you should have just stipped down in the hall in front of everyone and done a little show for everyone.

Great job!

I agree--be proud of your accomplishments, Don. But not proud enough that you want to strip down in front of us so you can say you lost a few more pounds. Keep your clothes on and I'll spot you 5 pounds.

Dude! you left your socks on?  I would have risked athlete's foot.  I also would have excused myself for a few minutes, gone to rest room and dropped a #2, taken a #1, cleaned my ears, flossed, and chewed off all my fingernails - then trotted out in whatever undies I had on.  But hey, that's just me and I've got a long, long way to go to get where you are.  Congrats on your handling of this weighty situation.   Pop-Pop

 Yeah my surgeon's office is the same way. The scale is in the hallway and usually the person who weighs you is the Nut (who is smokin hot). So one of these days (when closer to goal) I am going to give her a show.  Also all there scales are metric and they never convert it for you. So I walk out every time not knowing what i weighed.
