Happy new year, I never wished you happy birthday either LJ told me it was the 1st? Happy belated birthday anyways, how old did you turn?

I've actually lost 4lbs since november without trying which is seriously odd and I suspect wrong. How do you know if your scales are broken?

Oh it's not really my birthday, I didn't want to fill it in so I just left it Jan the 1st. I'll be 26 in August :)

Hmm, do you have electronic scales or sprung scales? I think electronic are usually more accurate.

I'm not sure how to tell other than weighing yourself, then weigh yourself holding a couple of bags of sugar, and if the difference is correct for the weight of sugar you know it's at least weighing consistantly.

Awh well happy birthday for last August!

I have sprung scales which are rubbish. My sis thinks they are off too, it says we've both lost weight over christmas but my jeans tell a different story! Will test them later I think with sugar but i'm a bit scared.
