Before I even crack open this nutty post, just remember–you aren’t dealing with the most sane person here! Please don’t ask me why I weighed myself multiple times in multiple places throughout my house this morning, or what compelled me to actually take pictures while I did. Just roll with it.
I weighed myself today for the first time in a week {shockingly long for me, but I knew the scale would be up because of my cycle so why bother!}. I wasn’t thrilled with the number so I moved the scale and weighed myself again.
Really? Are you asking yourself why? Don’t. I don’t even know why I thought moving the scale would magically make me lighter.
Because it didn’t.
In fact, I was 2.8 pounds heavier!
I went from this:
...in my bathroom
to this:
...in my bedroom
to this:
...in my kitchen
The 3-pound gain I experienced from bathroom to kitchen prompted me to weigh myself in Every. Single. Room of my house – all of which had a different reading! Is it possible to weigh more on tiled floor than on hardwood floors? Why would that be? To get to the bottom of it, I went to bottom of my house–my cold, basement floor–where I proceeded to strip off all of my clothes and hair-ties to hopefully get an accurate reading.
...guess I'll be weighing myself in my basement in the nude more often!
Please don’t tell me it doesn’t matter what I weigh or that I don’t need to lose any weight. It’s a personal choice and quite frankly, I still have lots of junk in my trunk & I am not a waif. I’ll stop when I am. {Joking, Mom!} Also, please don’t tell me you’d be thrilled to weigh 122 pounds because I’d bet some good, hot cash that you are far more content in your body than I am in mine.
All joking aside, what is the deal with this? And what do I really weigh? Where, and when, do you weigh yourself?

Hilarious! Love it!
See? This is why I don’t even own a scale…I’d be a total nutjob!!!
That’s so strange, I wonder why it changed?
To answer your question, I don’t own a a scale because I’d end up getting obsessed with my weight, I’m perfectly comfortable without adding a downer (the dreaded scales!) to my life
I figure if 126 is the worst case scenario, you’re doing pretty well! I wonder if the flooring is the issue or if the floors aren’t completely flat?! I think I may start weighing myself in outer space!
I don’t own a scale because I would become consumed with numbers!!!! Then I don’t want my girls to be worried about weight either and my 7 year old always worries that she is ‘fat’…ugh.
I only weigh myself when I’m pregnant…and, even then, only at the birth center office. I figure as long as I’m eating healthfully and exercising regularly, there’s no need to stress about a number.
I never would have thought to do that! But, I would definitely put it in the room where I weighed the least!
Certainly, there isn’t that much of a change in gravity within your house, right?
Scales suck…that is all.
This is why when I got married I never bought a scale. I used to be obsessed!!!
I would guess it has something to do with the flooring but my secret is I never weigh myself
I read this at work – we all thought it was hilarious! I haven’t weighed in a while – think I will start running again before I even break out my scale!
i am cracking myself up reading this….even read it to my mother who is laughing out loud. I do love you!
LOL. That is pretty funny. I know I will weigh myself and then pee to see if I lost any weight. I don’t move from room to room but I will weight myself multiple times to make sure my last 9 readings were accurate. I guess I am obsessed with my weight and the scale.
Did you zero out your scale each time you moved it? The floors aren’t balanced the same in each room so neither is your scale.
And don’t worry, we still love you , even with your nutty little habits ;0)
Just remember that the human head weighs 8 lbs!!! lol!!!
I guess maybe I should move my scale to different areas of the house. Maybe I’d like what I saw a little bit better
Love the new design, by the way
