Angry am i losing or not?

Hey Everyone!

so, something weird is going on...

I have a digital scale and a dial scale at home. When i weigh myself on my digital scale i'm down to 179 pnds but when i get on to the dial scale ......NOTHING!!

Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed that theyre dial scale doesnt move?

I know its weird that i weigh myself on both... but im a scaleaholic! lol I keep weighing myself

As for the measurments, i have lost 2 inches in 11 days so at least im happy about that

any advice would help

thanks

CHOOSE A SCALE!

Seriously- which ever one you started with- stick with. One of them is obviously not working. For that matter, I say pitch them both and buy a spiffy new one and then
STAY OFF IT

My pleasure.

We know the scale drill around here very, very, very well, I assure you.

Wake up .
Go potty.
Remove all jewelry.
Remove all clothing.
Brush teeth so as to remove any potential weight from tartar build up overnight.
Pluck eyebrows.
If you're over 30, pluck chin hair .
Shave legs and underarms.
Trim nose-hair if necessary.
Exhale sharply.....
Then-





And depending on what it says:

OR


Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
