I am suddenly fat!

DH bought new scales for himself as a motivator to lose weight. As he's a total geek they are Bluetooth ones that pair with fitness apps. On my watch app I had estimated my weight as 140lb. Now I know I weigh 160lb/ 11 stone 6!? (I'm 5'3) I am not happy! I didn't realise I was so fat!? But I have some flared trousers I really really like... If I lose weight they won't fit any more. 😂What is a girl to do!?

WithAllIntenseAndPurposes I can understand how useful bluetooth scales could be if there appears to be something in the way of the readout.

I lost weight over the summer and weighed 10 stone 9 pounds. Height 5'4". I dread to think what I weigh now. We haven't got any scales but I have a health check booked at the GP next week. That'll be the kick up the arse needed for both dh and me. However I do still fit into my size 12 jeans so who knows!

After trying ever diet under the sun with no success, I lost a stone doing the following:-

No breakfast
No alcohol
Drink loads of water
Side plate instead of dinner plate (reduce portions)
I still ate what I wanted and still had a small chocolate treat in the evenings (like a freddo or a two finger kit Kat) but the focus was on portion sizes rather than counting calories or carbs etc.

I'm similar height to you and went from 11 and a half stone to 10 and a half stone. The difference was massive and I feel more more comfortable at this weight.

They pair with your phone and will track your weight. Xiaomi is the make. Hopefully my phone will plot me a downward graph. Oh yeah.. We're all over Bluetooth in this house.. Lighting we can ask Google to turn off or change colour, 4 Google homes. The only reason I have a Bluetooth watch is so I don't miss my phone ring in my bag cos then my watch vibrates 🤣

OP you do realise it's Xmas week? Very brave to step on the scales at the moment.

Give it a few days after all the festivities are over and then step on them. There's a chance some of it could be water weight.
