I can’t believe what a difference this makes! I lost 200 pounds just by following this advice.

Hello, @rbruceporter…

Ohhh, I’ve been doing it wrong as well. I thought it was a defective weight sensor or that my exercise regime wasn’t working anymore.

Also, thank you for the laugh while I was drinking my mOrning cup-of-joe and reading through the forum posts. Unfortunately for me, my timing was a wee-bit off. I had just taken a large sip and I ended up spewing it all over my monitor (not exactly the proper method for cleaning a laptop screen and keyboard).

Much obliged for the helpful tip - it worked wonders for getting an accurate figure.
