Reply from Alyssia, Age 17 - 05/14/07 - IP#: 165.139.169.xxx Don't freak out. This is understandable. But did you ever think of what that new scale would have said a while ago before you started becoming healthy? I'm sure it would have read a lot heavier. Don't give up. I understand where you are coming from. I went to the doctor a few months back and my home scale said I weighed 204, and the doctors scale said 208. I got so pissed off. Plus, the doctor was retarded and said that I was 5"5'. I am so not 5"5'. She was from another country and barely understood English. If I was to go back to the doctor and get weighed, their scale might say 183. I would get pretty pissed off just at 4 pounds. So, I can imagine how pissed you are with a difference of 15. Just don't give up.
Reply from Anna, Age 14 - 05/11/07 - IP#: 71.124.42.xxx I know how you feel. I put the scale away since wednesday. And I got out today to see how much I weighed and it said I gained 4 pounds. but I have been working out and trying to eat healthy. Just try maybe something new like exercsing becuase after a while your body will get used to the exercse and you won't lose any more weight. And did you put your scale in a different spot or anything. If you did that's probly what your problem right there is
