High capacity bathroom scale

[TJ99]

A few things...
First, why not use one of the regular old-school scales with the round dial. That starts and ends at 0, so if the scale reads to 130, just add whatever is over 0 to 130 and voila. I have a friend who's 145 and he can use our scale this way.
Second, why would you really care what you weigh if it's over 150? If you're interested in losing weight, stop fretting about a kilo or two and just focus on the eating plan and exercise. Once you get to below 150, you can start watching the scale again.

Just some ideas.

Well the scales are only calibrated to work in the range specified, i.e 130kgs or whatnot. If you go over that you probably won't get an accurate reading. Not to mention it might result in permanent damage to the mechanism...

Hey guys, where can I find a bathroom scale that goes up higher that 150kg's in the Pretoria area?

Have a look in Dis-chem. Centurion branch definitely had/have those. Good luck, it's not easy...

Maybe just buy a tape measure and keep track of your progress by seeing the cm's disappear off your waistline.

WTF!!!! Abzo, if you have an Audi, Oakleys and shirts WITH collars, why don't you just buy a decent mattrass???

Because I'm using all of my income to pay for the audi and my clothing accounts like the rest of my generation

Haha, no thats maybe my long lost twin, i still have all my fingers intact.
I like your Bill Maher quote by the way.

 

[Nocturnity]

Yeah, I wouldn't personally focus on the kilo or two lost over a week/month. Forget about the actual weight and focus on the training and eating plan. This will cause you to change your lifestyle and not just see it as a temporary thing until you've lost x amount of weight. If you do it that way, you'll eventually just go straight back to where you started.

Another thing... Don't "cheat" and don't "reward" yourself with a treat every now and then. Commit, focus and just get it done. You'll get there.

Perhaps he should focus on burning calories instead.

This.

That can have more of an effect than a scale in my opinion

disagree.10kg is equal to like 3cm around the waist so its hardly a motivating alternative.

Centimeters lost is what determines what size pants you can now wear, it's nice to lose 2 sizes and actually know that you have ...... and then go out and get new clothes.

whats the point of continuously having to buy pants but know its still too big.Drop 2 sizes but you're still buying a size 40+ is hardly motivating.

What about all the access skin that undermines the cm lost around the waist.

 

[jboyx989]

I meant use the waist measurement method until OP's weight drops below 150kg. Following that he can use the measuring tape AND the scale.
