Wow, Tinky, that's so cool. I never win anything...well tell a lie. When I bought my first mobile phone (all them years ago) I got a letter about a year later saying I'd won a vodafone competition of 500 air miles. At the time I didn't have a passport and no inclination to buy one. Still not used them. Now they've changed the system and I have to get more from somewhere before I can use them lol. I'd rather of had cash!

Well done, Dawnie & Dee. I've done no exercise this week either, not even my gentle little warm up...too sore.

Slowly but surely girls, we're in it for the long haul not the short fix so 1lb is great.

It was originally in Kgs so was 64Kg, became 141lbs. I did a couple of conversions straight to stones and then one with it through the lbs.

Doh...blond moment

On the actual scales, when I used the pounds it told me I was 124lbs... I wish!!! lol.

Yes but it also means you weren't as heavy as you thought you were in the first place! ;-)))))))

LOL! I knew what you meant

Can you change the weight over to pounds?

~Summer Scribe~

~Summer Scribe~ Report 4 Feb 2008 13:59

Tried three other conversions...comes out the same at 10st 1lb.

Not sure if the old scales have been that far out all along or if they've slowly been going out (if that's the case I put weight on in week 3 lol).

~Summer Scribe~ Report 4 Feb 2008 13:55

I do Jeanette, lol... they tell me I'm 7lbs heavier lol, however as my dad just pointed out...they're older than I am so might be a bit off in their old age.

I just tested the new scales, ironically using a tin of unopened sweets (they were a late xmas pressie from the place I volunteer at and came after the diet started -- I groaned lol). They came out as accurate to .05 of KG I now wonder if the conversion site I used was off so am going to check that.

ETA: Just realised...when I say 7lbs heavier I mean heavier than the digi scales are saying...not 7lbs heavier than last week.
