Wear your glasses

In two weeks I went from 12 stone 6lb to 12 stone 3. A loss of 3lbs. Great, I was happy with this loss. The next week I weighed myself on a scale at Boots the chemist. My regular weigh in place. To my horror I had gone up to 12 stone 11lbs a gain of 8lbs...i felt deflated. All day long i kept on wondering how this was possible, given that i had reduced calories and had increased my daily activity.

Ureka moment! On carefully looking at the weight socket which I had read as 12 stone 11lbs o realised it read 12 stone 1lb, I had read the L in lb as 1....I had actually list 2lb.

12 stone equals 168lbs (pounds) for people who do not use imperial measurements.

Glad it all turned out ok. Imagine the shock if you had gone up to 11 lbs, would you have read it as 12st 111

Keep up the good work!

That would not happen to me, I can not see with out my glasses, and I only weigh myself in private. I have lost nearly 2st and I will try the challenge for Christmas to lose another half stone by then. Good luck, and remember if weight comes off slowly it is more likely to stay off,
