Yes, scales ARE liars...

Jennie and Tara, I loved your posts when I read them this morning.  You are both so right.  I have the same issue with the scale.  If I move it around my bathroom floor (from by the wall to the middle of the floor or to an area where there is a grout seam between the tile, for example) I can weigh something different in every spot.  AGHHHH!  What's a girl to do?

That's why I like this fitness pal app so much.  It gives me something steady to base my thoughts upon rather than the unreliable scale.  Today my scale says I'm up half a pound from last week, but I'm not seeing it on me or in my clothes.  In fact, I feel slimmer than this weight normally feels, so I've decided not to freak out about the scale and just keep going.  It was like an affirmation when I read your posts this morning and saw you were experiencing the same things.

Last week was super busy and while I exercised and stayed within my calorie goal, I used my calorie budget on a bunch of junk instead of good foods.  This week looks a lot more reasonable, so I'm looking forward to more regular meals, food, exercise and calmer days. 

Have a great week, friends.
