Evidently my scale does not believe it's possible for me to weigh what I do. It's a "smart" scale that we bought just about 4 months ago. It doesn't have those body fat sensors, but it displays percentage body fat, lean weight, bone weight and some other things based on BMI calculations.

Unfortunately, I've gained about 12 pounds in the last couple of months, and I was already obese to begin with. For about the last 5 pounds, the scale hasn't gone through the percentage displays. After it displays the weight, it sits there cogitating and then apparently concludes, "No, it is not possible that an individual of that height could have that weight. ERROR. ERROR. ERROR."

I've had my husband, who is fit, try it, and it was perfectly happy to run his calculations. But just like me, it can't get its brain around the fact that I could possibly weigh that much. ;)
