Congrats to everyone on the weight loss! One week down and we are all going great!
I weighed in this morning and to my dismay the numbers on the scales did not change from last week. On the positive side at least I haven't gained anything! Plus I've lost 2cm off my hips.
I didn't sleep well at all last night due to coughing. I'm just about over the tonsillitis, I just now have this annoying itchy cough. Pilates last night was awesome and I felt great after it. It's going to be a warm one today so I think I might stay indoors and get on the Wii Fit in the aircon!
Leash - I don't know about all of them, but I have a set of Tanita ones that do the body fat % (gawd it took me ages to save up the $$ for them!) but they measure it by sending a very tiny miniscule current through your body. The theory behind it is that fat and bones etc don't pick up on the current whereas your muscles and organs etc do....so it works it out from that....I hope that makes sense!?
Larana is right they use a very minute electircal current to measure resistance, fat and muscle have difference levels of resistance bone density should not change significantly your hydration level can alter the result so it is best to make sure you are not dehydrated when you use them. LOL on a scam I thought so too and researched it before I got one. I got mine from big w they have a big range i think mine were about $60, they were the weight watchers ones
Yep Sararose, you explained it a lot better, thanks
My scales are the Tanita ones...but not only do they do weight and body fat %, they also do bone mass, muscle mass, and your biological age and a few other things that I can't think of off the top of my head.
Well I lost 0.9kg, so was happy with that, 3.5cm off bust, 3cm of wasit and 0.5cm off my hips, I really didn't think I was going to lose anything.
Kel I stuffed mine up, but I think you can click on your ticker or go back to the site and you will be able to change your weight without making a new one, but I stuffed it and had to make a new one and resend it to Lucy .
Forgot to say I got my scales from Good Guys and they are the weight watchers ones that do BF% and water%, but I can never get the water bit to work, I think it's because I'm BFing as it always comes up with ERR.
hugs xoxo

Going to a wedding on saturday, so i will try to be good at the reception. when i mention about how many points its going to cost me, both my mum and sister make a tsk oh noise as if to say dont worry about it! Maybe i'll be good, but still have a 'free' day iykwim
To change your weight for your ticker, go to your ticker, and click on it, and it will take you to your ticker page in Ticker Factory, then adjust your weight, and it will automatically change in your ticker picture. Or look at the url code you sent me last week (in teh sent box of your email or your pm's and copy that into your browser to get to your ticker page. Then keep this ticker page bookmarked so that you can change it whenever you need to. Then it will automatically change without needing to ask me to ammend it!)

Well I've managed 1.1 kilos! Woohoo! Considering I did NO exercise and drank at least 8 glasses of wine over the week... as well as go away for the weekend...
Haven't done measurements - I know some of them are going to be wierd because I had my Implanon replaced yesterday and my arm HURTS!
Goals this week - Drink more water. Exercise 1/2 hour, at least 4 times this week.
OMG- A loss of 1.9kg nothing from my bust, 6cm from my waist and 2cm from my hips. Couldnt have asked for a better result. My 1st mini goal was to lose 3kg by Jan 24th and in one week i'm over 1/2 way there.
You girls have all done so well so proud of each and everyone of you
