Got my new scale today and I love it--it weighs me almost 8 pounds less then my old scale (now in the trash), which is in line with what the scale at my doctors vs. the old scale. So I'm actually almost 8 pounds lighter then I thought!!

Now--think I should change my starting weight to reflect the 8 pound overage? If I don't, then when I enter my new weight from the new scale tomorrow morning, it will reflect an 8 pound difference that I might not have actually lost--does that make sense?

Or should I just leave it and go with my newer "lighter" weight?

    Just me - I would enter the 8 lbs as lost!! :tongue:

    Either way I would definately adjust to reflect the more accurate weight. It would drive me nuts for the weight to be 8 lbs more than what I know I weigh. Yay you!! :drinker:
