8Patty- That was my scale. LOL. After my weigh in on Saturday I am going to tape myself. They have been measuring my waist every other week or so and it goes from 38" to 35" to 39", yeah they can't be trusted. I also wear the SAME dress every week so it is best that I do it myself. I am positive that I am gaining muscle so that is another reason why I am going to look for my measuring tape. Thanks for the idea Patty
