Panel 1: We find ourselves watching Elly (who's just come out of the shower) weigh herself on the bathroom scale. We sort of get a hint at what the premise is when it makes an audible TOOOINNNNNNG!!!!! noise.
Panel 2: Her less than impressed frustrated, weary scowl also gives an idea of what we're in for.
Panel 3: She gets all rage-faced and shakes the scale in the vain hope of getting it to obey her and show her she weighs what she wants to weigh.
Panel 4: This, of course, is useless as it makes a KA-Ching noise and gives her a weight she doesn't want to see.
Panel 5: Thinking that the scale is set improperly, she adjusts it to zero.
Panel 6: This also has no effect aside from having her stare at it in frustration as it makes a DOINK! noise.
Panel 7: She tries standing on her toes because she thinks that will make her weigh less.
Panel 8: She then stands on in normally and tries to displace her weight onto the counter as if that will somehow help. Judging from the "comic" noise it made, I don't see that happening.
Panel 9: When she tries shaking it again, John asks her what she's doing.
Panel 10: When she explains that she's trying to get an honest weight, he frowns because he probably assumes that her next step will be to heave a coffee mug at it.
Summary: We can no doubt expect a "This is the TRUTH!!!! This HAPPENED!!!" thing if there are notes. After all, Lynn never passes up a chance to fatshame herself.
