How is this even possible? Or is it time to get a new scale?!


Question: According to the scale, I've managed to lose 6 pounds this week despite eating like there's no tomorrow. I mean, lots of food--including a steady diet of pizza over the last few days.

Any explanation? Or do you think the scale's malfunctioning?

There are a few points:

- Logically from what you said the scale should go up, so theoretically it can be a faulty scale.

- However, you didn't give more info. The critical is: do you FEEL heavier. If yes, then its the scale. If no, then perhaps your activity level has been really high matching your food consumption.

- Lastly, data shows that the effect of your eating in one day is not so directly applied on the next day. Because of this sometimes people eat a lot, then check and scale is ok, then they decide to go on diet and then scale goes up and they are upset. The scale in this case goes up because of the few days back heavy eating.

hope that helped.

Easy tip: go to the shop, stand on a scale, if its same as your home number, dont buy it :)

huh i no someone who when they eat actualy loses weight aswell.fluid always plays a part especially with women.could be the scales though

JUST PUT A WEIGHT ON THE SCALE..THATS WHAT I DO
LOL sorry caps...5 pound weight if its right...then you know you somehow lost 6 pounds...maybe your not actually eating as much as you think you are...even if you eat 4 pieces of pizza everyday..that isnt that much...and you prob burn off most of it being young...lol
