    I see why you'd be a little bummed but it really doesn't matter at all. If you thought you were 5 lbs from your goal and then the doctor's scale was 5 lbs lighter (so at your goal) would you have said "mission accomplished" and considered the goal to have been reached? You would look exactly the same. Your clothes would fit exactly the same. If you weren't happy with where you were before seeing the doctor's scale number why would you be happy with it after seeing it? Conversely, if you were happy with your progress (from the mirror and the change in weight on your scale) before stepping on the doctor's scale why would you be unhappy with it now?

    There's nothing magical about the number on the scale. You don't walk around with that number written on your forehead. No one but you knows what the scale said. Everyone knows how you look and that doesn't change by stepping on a different scale.
