| WHAT!! oh..never mind
OK I am apparently on another Plateau and I was upset about that until last night when I got on the scale and it read 271 and I couldn’t believe it, I was absolutely speechless after diet and exercise I GAINED 6 pounds!?!?!?  
But then later I saw my youngest playing with the dial on the scale  and then I realized what had happened. I recalibrated the scale and I tried again… I am down 1 pound instead of up 6… and I am ok with that.
Interesting part however is that if I got on the scale and saw I only lost 1 pound, before I thought I gained 6, I would have been upset but now it is just fine.

It was not intentional and it is no big deal really... in retrospect
My daughter was just following in her dad’s foot steps; meaning - just about everything has play value if you just look for it.
She is 2 and the dial turned and it was fun to turn and watch the needle move, this I can understand, I am just glad I saw her playing with the dial and figured it out before I went on a 2 week starvation hike to Florida since I was beginning to believe that was the only way I could loose weight.
Now I just make sure the scale is calibrated before I get on it.

Starvation =  Not the way to lose weight.
You could always put tape on the scale adjustment dial so she couldn't turn it again

Wait until she's 18 and trying to lose weight to fit into that prom dress she just got. Then, the tables will be turned and vengence shall be yours!!!!
