I think I’ve lost more weight!

My bin is down 2 points but the scales were 5£ and god knows if they’re faulty but who knows. It’s not all down to scales it’s about looks and feelings.

It’s absolutely about how you feel melissamstanford42 . . . I think you mean your BMI is down? Which is great 😊

If you think your scales are faulty, get on them a few times in a row. If the weight is consistent, then hop on again carrying 2 litres of liquid, like milk or big bottle of water. See if the scale shows you weighing 2kg more. If so, it's likely to be consistently showing weight loss and gain, even if it's not showing the actual weight.

Also, measure your waist, which is a better measure of body fat than weight.

I agree fat isn’t a feeling

I actually agree with you. I have hardly lost any weight this week but am definitely feeling more upbeat and standing taller. The weekly weigh in and quick chat helps too.

Now what these apps are a mess. Did people go to the pubs yesterday.
