Well I cried hard today!

lol Hey everyone I am new here. So I have been on a weight loss journey for about 10 months now. I have no clue what my starting weight was because I was so depressed I refused to weight myself. All I know is I was about a size 15 or 16 in women's jeans and I am now a size 6.

Well today was the first time I decided to weigh myself. What could it hurt? I woke up and hopped on my dads digital scale and it weighed me at 157 pounds. Immediately after this I went to my sisters house where she has a non digital scale. I weighed myself on it and it said I was 154 pounds. We headed out to Walmart (keep in mind, over this entire 2 hour time period I never ate or drank a thing so the scales would be accurate) where I of course, found the scale section. I weighed myself on a non digital scale and it said I was 157 lbs. I weighed myself on a digital scale and it weighed me at 166 lbs!! I checked each and every scale I stepped on with a dumbbell to make sure they were accurate. Oddly enough, all of the scale weighed the dumbbell correctly, but weighed me at a different weight! And I'm talking within a 10 pound range without me eating or drinking!

So I went online to figure out what was going on. The unanimous answer I got was that digital scales are a mess. lmao Not all of them, but apparently they are very very often inaccurate. Heres one link I found:

Even the temperature can change how a digital scale weighs you!

Well anyway, after how much I read about digital scales being inaccurate a lot, I thought I needed to buy an old fashioned scale. After thinking about it, I decided.....no scales for me. If I am already this obsessed over a damn number then I don't belong weighing myself at all! LOL I'll just go by how I feel and how I fit into clothes. This scale stuff is just the devil! l

Has anyone else had such inaccuracy with scales?!
