    So I went out and bought a new cheap dial scale and it weighed me 5 lbs more than my old one. But I'd step on it again and it would read something different almost every time. I returned it. That's what happens when you buy a scale for 7 dollars from Walmart. My old one is years old but I always make sure it's calibrated right by putting a dumbbell on both before and after I stepped on it to make sure it's accurate.

    So you guys were right. I returned my new scale and will just stick to the one I have been using all along. Because I AM seeing progress on it every week. It is just weird that 2 dial scales side by side even weigh me different weights! But I'm over it. Sticking with my old scale and that's that.

    I agree, Pick ONE and stick with that for your weigh ins. Don't go back and forth because you will get frustrated. And measurements are a much better way to look at things. I suggest taking them monthly, along with progress pictures monthly (or weekly) so you can physically SEE the difference. At the end of the day, it's not about the number. It's about how your clothes fit and how you feel.
