Hello BOTT,
The scale is down one day and up the next. I swear there is somebody else standing on the darn thing with me.  I'm ready  to kill it and throw it out the window!  Anyone else ready to kill the scale?

I''m right there with you, my friend     The wretched beast that's creeping up behind me and tilting my scale has to quit messing with me - just isn't fair  

I swear I am NEVER NEVER NEVER (well, maybe not NEVER, but not for a long time LOL) going to pig out again.  (I've noticed that the wretched beast seems to lurk even more when I feed it )  I was going up and down and up and down before I pigged out at the wedding feast Saturday night - but in small amounts.  This morning I was up a significant amount even though I have been 100% compliant since Monday (Sunday I was so miserable my caloric intake went WAY DOWN) - but my "innards" are all out of sync. GRRRRR  I'm absolutely certain if you looked up the work S L U G G I S H in the dictionary my picture would be right there.  So now, it has to be more a matter of output rather than intake but it is still discouraging.    I'm beginning to dispair that I'll ever reach my goal - and yet I know I will - after all I have another good 30 years to get there and the wretched beast will surely get tired of haunting me before that much time passes

WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER - YES WE CAN

So - here's to a 100% BOTT day and a defeat of the beast tomorrow

I think there are a few of us right there with you ready to kill the scale . I was so fed up with mine that I went and bought a new one. AND guess what?!?! This one is doing the same thing, just not as bad. So , I guess it was me after all. I think when I step on it, the gremlin has come and stuck a glass of water on it between my feet that I can't see . I've started calling my scale the "little brat" because of the way its acting. There will come a time where it will be put in time out and only used every other day instead of every day. I've pretty much came to the conclusion that my body or the little brat is going to bounce around every day to keep me on my toes.

I know it is hard, but one day my scale showed a rapid 5 lbs gain, then I looked back - and my cat was standing right behind me (2 paws only) on the scale.  So watch for those pesky animals in your house..  mine is always curious and wants to be right there with me - specially in the bathroom...

HaHa. Funny you should say that. On Friday I reached a wonderful milestone...Onderland. I screamed in delight for my husband to come and see. I stepped on the scale and it read 204. I said that s not right, and stepped on it again. This time it read 213.6, I quickly turned back  to see my hubby's toe on the corner. He was smiling. We were racing to 199 and he said he needed more time to get there!
