I so wish I could wear leggings!! But even when in my 20s, leggings only ever looked casual on me, never smart - my legs just aren't long enough and are rather triangular! And these days, even the fashion for very long tops with leggings doesn't work for me as I have got a pad of fat/skin on the inside of my knees which makes matter look even worse!
I am not going to have PS - at age almost 60, I can't be bothered! But if I did, a tummy tuck would be first, buttock lift second (make my legs a good three inches longer!!), then my batwings and then my knee pads!
But I agree that there is enormous pleasure in picking out clothes, feeling confident they will fit!

Good attitude! We worked hard to get where we are. Now we deserve those low numbers!

It's one of those crazy neurotic things I do when it comes to me and my weight.

I'm not goign to ignore anyoen tryign to help!!
But, as you say, on these new super-efficient, all modern, digital scales - there doesn't appear to be anything basic like an adjustment!! I may go for good old-fashioned non-electronic ones!!
There may , of coures, be a complicated system of adjustment - but if thre is, it is ME who is technologically impaired cos i can't find it!
So annoying! Also daft as I don't really care what the numbers are!!!

My lovely (expensive!) scale just broke. I loved it because it was always exactly the same as the scale in my doc's surgery. Anyway, even if it hadn't been, it was consistent and so showed me the true picture of whether I was losing or gaining which, to me, is more important than the actual figure.
So I bought a new one - it has me almost 4 lbs heavier!!!! So now I have to decide whether to bite the bullet and alter my chart and my OH signature or whether to lie and just keep on believing I weigh what the old scales told me! Or take the scale back and try another one!
