Goooooood Mawniiiiiiiing LOSERS!

No broken scale claims sorry lol.

Hmm, maybe it wasn't sooo broken?  Maybe he's losing??? I know one scale I had was wonky at my higher weights.  Of course, now they're all in line.  LOL. 

HE's losing...but I dont know about 20 pounds in a couple of days lol.

I won't be surprised if his scale was super sensitive because he was close to its limit, and now that he's down, maybe 4 lbs (my guess), it's getting ready to read correctly.  I also wouldn't be surprised if he did lose 20lbs soon!  Not unheard of for men on Atkins.

WOo damn jerz I need you around full time for boosting my ego! hehehe Unfortunately, I haven't lost any weight at all.  I was 296.1 at the surgeon's office today but that of course is with clothes on after lunch and 80 ounces of water.  I *MAY* have lost 1 or 2 lbs but according to the scale this morning, nothing. No I haven't bought a new scale yet! lol.  I have an analog scale that is accurate though. I weigh on the broken one to see if my weight changes and if it goes up or down by more than 2 lbs then i weigh on the other one and have my wife tell me what it reads. I can't see the numbers! lmao.. Belly is in the way and if I lean forward it changes. :P

Well, I still believe you will lose 20lbs really fast and then you will be flying high. I lost 15 in 5 weeks.  I bet you'll lose 20 in 4.  Anyone taking bets? When you see that, you will feel so in control, combined with how well you feel about food.  Each 20 will go and you'll be confident of your goal. I am.  I'm 275 right now (minus some fluctuation).  Just a month and a half ago I was upset over the 290s. I intend/hope/pray to be 270 w/in 2 weeks.  Huge deal.  Then from 270, 250 will come, and so forth and so on.

I'm sure hoping so!  I feel like I'm doing this right.. if I don't lose any weight then I only have two other options.. I can increase my food intake and see what it does or I can decrease it and see. I do believe I'd be increasing it first! lmao That'd be kinda hard though.. I get pretty full as I'm eating now. Truthfully, if I don't lose by the end of the week then I think I'm probably eating too much. Don't intend/hope/pray, KNOW! :P I'm sure you'll get there. You definitely have the determination and the know how!

He's talking about a scale which has been broken for months.... lol

Great!  I agree.  You should claim it.  As we all know from experience, it will bounce around a little on the scales.  I know you will see it again.

Yep.. and it's bouncin' again today.  This morning it was 224.. bu****er weight was up to 40 and it's usually at 35 - 37.  The body fat % went down 3 points.  I'm out of lasix.. so I'll hit the pharmacy after I work out today and see what's what. I wonder if the muscle pills the rheumy gave me is pushing some fluid.  I'm so darned sensitive to meds.  I had to stop taking the pain pills again because my ankles were starting to look like softballs and I've got even skinnier ankles than my my sister, called Twit VanScrumples because her tiny self sways in a breeze. At least I saw it once... 220...  I'll freak the day I see 219... but I've been fairly stagnant for a month.
