Is it a good sign or a bad sign when I step on the scale on my weigh in day and this is what it reads...
ERR.
I'll take it as a good sign. A sign that I lost so much weight that my scale broke in shock, disbelief and pure pride for it's only user.
or whatever.
I have lost a considerable amount of weight since last Wednesday. FIVE POUNDS, PEOPLE. FIVE ROCKIN' POUNDS.
However...I'm still up almost four pounds from my low four weeks ago. Which means I have gained in total...let's see. carry the four, divide the seven, subtract the nine, multiply by six, take the radius and divide by nine. A total of ELEVEN BILLION POUNDS.
You do the math people, I gained a TON of weight. So, much that I can't even say how much to you because it's crazy. But seeing as how I have lost five pounds of it this past week, I'm not sure how much of that gain was actually trying to attach itself to my thighs or was traveling around in my body for fun.
Who knows? Either way, I have a lot to do today. My sister and her kids are visiting and Brian is going out of town for six thousand days (or until Monday) so I need to clean my house RIGHT NOW and get ahead of the game.
But most importantly, I need to work off the four pancakes I just ate.
Hang in there.. weight loss is hard. I lost 20 lbs. last fall and put it all back on... then got pregnant! Smart move, eh?! I'm going to join in the weight loss challenge after the baby comes, though, thanks to motivation from you and other moms online. Thanks!

FIVE lbs is awesome!! You know it doesn't happen like that every week, but hey, take it when you can get it! Four pounds away from your most recent low isn't really that far away, you know! Rock On!

don't be discouraged! Rome wasn't built in a day, right?
Yes, that totally makes sense.

Aw, honey...so I guess that means no Venetian Festival and elephant ears this weekend with me and the Vikings, huh? *wink*

Grats on 5lbs lost! That's phenomenal, and you should do a little jig to celelbrate. I can't wait to have Baby #4, so I can join ya'll on your journey. I really need the accountability!

Err can be a good thing...it's open-ended! I like the complicated math you used. Very funny!

Isn't yoyo-ing fun? The pants fit. The pants don't fit. I have a fit. I eat the fridge... sigh.

when mine says ERR I think that is a blessing that I do not have to really know how bad it was for that weigh in LOL
Do you know how many times I have thrown my scales in the trash can? LOL
way to go on your loss this week!
