Weigh In - Week 20 & 21

In terms of weight loss, I've definitely been back on form - 3.4lbs lost last Monday and then 2.3lbs this Monday. Whoop! Good to see those numbers moving down and I think I might be looking a bit slimmer too. Feeling more positive about the weight loss though...like I will actually get there...!

My hand is markedly better now so I can do things that are also helping me feel better about myself - like dry my hair properly, putting make-up on, etc. and also I don't have a giant splint on my arm... Function still isn't fully back and some things still hurt, but, I am a lot better now and nearly feel normal (still using my left hand for my computer mouse).

I am now good to drive. I bought a car on the weekend and it broke down half an hour away from the garage and had to be towed back. I asked for a refund because I wouldn't be able to trust the car after that and it really wasn't what I needed after a crash...being stuck in the road with a car whose engine kept cutting out. But, gah, I miss driving.

On the downside, I think my scales are super wrong - the ones at my boyfriends put me at a stone heavier and if I move my scales, they put me at a stone heavier too. I suppose the difference between weigh ins is still the same. But, I have previous experience of weight loss and I know what actual weight I want to be at, so, at some point that will become relevant. Sigh.

  2. Have you considered going to somewhere that has the scales you pay like 50p for and using them. That way always in same place so you will know they are fairly accurate. Well done on your losses though so far. I hope you have better luck with finding a car

    1. Thank you :-) Yeah, that is an idea...it just seems a shame to do that when my scales cost over 100 quid, heh... x

  3. Nicely done on the loss! I had a similar thing with my scales at home; there was usually about a stone difference. Eventually I gave up and used the scales at my local Boots instead; at least the results were consistent.

      Yeah, it's really annoying because they're ridiculously expensive wi-fi scales. I think it's just because I had to put them on carpet and even though they have "carpet feet" it's obviously messed them up... I suppose as long as the difference is the same, it's not a big deal.
