So after my batteries needing to be replaced twice in less than 2 months, I’m thinking about buying a new scale. There are so many with high tech options (I’ve always just had basic digital scale). There are “smart body” scales that are pretty pricey. Anyone using them and do you find it worth it?

I did put new batteries in the one I have (and I’m over 2 pound below goal) - I may see how it goes this month, but I’ll just hit “overweight” BMI this month so have a LONG way to go to “healthy”. I like to weigh myself daily so want a reliable scale.

Let me know if you have recommendations- smart body or not.

I use the Withings “Body Comp” scale, together with the App it provides a lot of data. I would look for one that connects to your Wi-Fi like the body comp. I’ve not had good luck with ones that connect using Bluetooth.

We got a free one recently from our health insurance. I just filled out a online form and got it in a week

So frustrating. I was below goal weight several times this month then a few days ago scale jumped 3lbs (I had a mustard/butter/caper sauce that I expected caused water retention). Anyway I was less than a pound away yesterday so I fasted, and was just .2 lbs away today. Continued fast and final met goal. Then when I went to do official weigh in tonight the scale kept jumping all over (8lb differences). Then it died. I had no new batteries. I took the two that were installed and swapped places. Scale worked again but higher weight. At least I’m still in the game - when the scales died I thought I was screwed!

Most frustrating weigh in ever! I really wanted to win all 6 rounds but looks like I’ll have to settle for just 5 rounds.

On the scale dilemma, I changed the batteries not too long ago. Now I’m wondering if I need a new set of scales. This one is over 8 years old. Any thoughts? And I’ll always be sure to have extra batteries in the future.

Had to go out of town for a funeral so I missed the weigh-in. What happens now?

You just won’t get to share in the pot for that round. You continue on.

The only exception is your have to weight in at the end of round 5 (and be at least 6% down) to compete in round 6 (the big pot).

Patricia R.

Aww I'm sorry to hear that and sorry for your loss! Heal this month and just do the next weigh-in like Lisa said.Remember to take care of yourself especially at this time.

Is it true we just need to be 6% down by the end of May to progress to the final round?

I didn’t focus on diet and exercise this month. Hit goal weight for the round at the beginning. I did win the round with plenty of wiggle room but not much in the way of progress this month. I guess it was like being in maintenance mode.

I’m recommitting myself to be strict again. It won’t be challenging to hit the round goal but I really want to get out of obese BMI and into “overweight.

Debating a kickstarter for extra motivation but it may be hard to lose 4% in a month when I’ve been dieting/losing for several months now. Anyone else doing a kickstarter this month?

No. I can’t do those anymore cos I’ve been losing for 1.5 years and it’s slow and steady. Took me several rounds to start winning even this challenge because I don’t lose a lot at once. Wish the goal steps in these 6 month challenges were spaced out more evenly rather than expecting you lose a lot at first! Good luck to you!

Lisa P.

Thanks everyone. I am doing well - hit the next round goal unexpectedly today.

I think 4% in a month would be hard now. Lose is much slower and I go through plateaus and then slow lose. I did overlapping transformers and maybe that’s the way to go - although the first 2 months at 3% each month will be a challenge!

I’m not a member so the maintenance and longer games or lower % options for bets are not open to me.

Good luck everyone!

The weight that magically appeared at weigh-in has disappeared again (lucky I had a good buffer so still made goal). I’ll be sure not to do a heavy workout with lots of lifting the day before a weigh in again!

I’m now below Round 4 goal and closing in on the Round 5&6 goals! I’m not stopping there (I have a long journey ahead to reach my end goal weight). Hoping to get there by the end of the year. I’m so impressed with those who have posted large weight loss - it take consistently and drive!

For those who are struggling, don’t give up. It is easy to stop trying when you don’t see results, but you definitely won’t lose it without working on changing habits.

I’m so excited! I am almost down to being under 300 pounds! I’ve lost nearly 140 pounds over the last year. If is crazy how much better I feel… I’m happier in life with the new changes.
