Question About Weight Loss

Oh I understood the gist of what you were saying. I just like things to be right, lol.

Your analogy fits the statement, "not all nutrients are created equal."

Hence the reason I spoke up. :)

No biggy.

The ethics of nutrition, though. Hehehe. I already conceded the point, though, so I won't get into it. Things always go badly when the conversation turns 'round to any sort of philosophy, and I'm involved. Probably because I babble and make very little sense. :p The fact is that the usage you've suggested is certainly more correct, and I consider it morally responsible of you to correct me in such cases. I'm sure things are confusing enough for the OP without getting into my thoughts on the epistemology of nutrition.

It is a digital scale. However, I had noticed that my scale was stuck on the EXACT same weight for 3-4 days. Everytime I weighed it said the exact same thing. This was with me weighing in the morning and at night. I kept telling my roomate that I thought something was wrong with it. Not because I was not losing weight, just because I did not think that I would weigh the exact same weight like 8 times in a row...

Did you try just putting something else on it, to see if it would give you a different reading? The ones with fancy features (like mine) usually have a button for "just the weight". I would troubleshoot by putting objects of similar but not equal weight on it to see if it registers the difference.

I know my scale works well because I weigh all of my training equipment (so as to know the exact numbers I'm working with in the case of the barbells and clips and such, and to make sure that dumbbells/plates/etc are in fact the weight they're supposed to be). Yeah, I'm a little crazy. :sifone:

Yeah I got my friend to weigh on it a couple of days in a row and he weighed the same each day. Oh well it broke and I got a new one. I am digging the "new reading" on the new scale!

Holy bejeezers.

Your mind is a deep abyss, lol.

Were you a student of philosophy? They've been the only people to amaze me with their ability to make simple matters amazingly complex. Well, them and internet-guru-superstars too.

I may have a degree in one or the other. ;) I try to restrain myself, though, as you can see. That ought to count for something. :D

Hahaha, I like you.

I think we'll have some fun at some point on here.

You have a degree in one or the other?

By that, you mean you may have a degree in philosophy or you may have a degree in being an internet-guru-superstar?

I sincerely hope it's the former rather than the latter.
