My old scales had got erratic so bought some more. Came with a guarantee so I asked if they were guaranteed to say I weighed less than the old ones did. The assistant said,"yes, and it helps if you keep one foot on the floor"
Got home, stepped onto scales, which said I weighed 3 lbs more than I thought.
Shall I go and retrieve old scales from the bin?

I lost 7 lbs last week. I've started a dairy free diet (stomach problems, very bloated didn't seem to pass wind, now I do, please don't come round and light a match, you won't see me again!) and I got prescribed thyroid tablets so my metabolism could have gone up. Whatever it is, I'm not changing it!
I do have some new talking scales. The first time I used them, she said "One at a time please!". 
That's right loopy. Offload it on other poor sods who are also desperately trying to shed a bit of weight. 
Rubylady you made me laugh out loud. 
And well done with the diet. 
I have convinced myself that exercise is the key to me losing weight. Now I've got to convince myself to take some!
I have got these flowers off my doggie for Valentine's Day but she has warned me that if I keep "blowing off" as she puts it, then she has a knapsack prepared and she will walk! 
Am waiting for my sister to come back from her 6 week cruise to the Amazon (and other exotic places) before I join her in shedding the pounds - hopefully - meanwhile making the most of it as I know she will have gained far more than I have !!!! Sisterly love, you can't beat it
