I’m on a diet (a healthy diet of 1300-1400 calories a day, and is made up of healthy and nutritious food) and I’m a member of Spark People. Lately I have been having trouble tracking my weight loss. I weigh myself every morning after going to the toilet and before eating my breakfast. The scales I use at home is an over decade old analog scales. That scale I know to be about a kilo off. This one says I weigh about 56kg and has shown that I have consistently lost about 500g per week. This is not the scales I am having trouble with. Until recently, the gym scales have been showing me a reading 1.5kg (with the extra 500g being the food I have eaten throughout the day) heavier than the one at home. But lately the digital gym scales have been giving me very strange readings indeed. On Tuesday I was shocked when it gave me a reading of 58.24kg! Over half a kilo heavier than it should have been and the home scales showed no weight increase at all! The next day I weighed myself at the gym and weighed exactly 57.60kg, which is what it should be. I weighed myself yesterday at the gym and I was back up to 58.24kg and again the home scales showed no increase! What is up with the gym scales?!?! It can’t be water retention, the old analog one should have picked up the increase as it had before when I was suffering from it. It can’t be extra muscle either, I have been working out for a while now and I think I have gained the extra muscle ages ago. I am losing a lot of weight. My waist used to be over 82cm and it is about 68cm now. My new size 12 gym pants don’t fit anymore, they feel loose and they threaten to slip down during aerobics even when I tie them up tight. Also, the gym scales have only been doing this for less than a week. Could the digital scales be rigged or broken? It’s right next to a water cooler and people have been spilling a lot of water lately, would that do it? Everyone at the gym uses it, too. Maybe it’s over used?
PS
They have a new set of scales now, a medical style analog one with sliding weights. Maybe people have been making complaints about the digital scales! Anyway…. I’m not sure if I’m using it right, but that one gives me a reading of about 57.5-57.6kg. So it must be the digital one that is the problem.
