    Dave you are thinking way too much about this... There has been a few of us already in the 8 or so months that I have been a part of this challenge that have gotten a new scale and yes the number is different sometimes but take it and go with it. Its the downward trend that counts the most. you cant count on that old scale to be accurate if you step on and off the new one two or three times and get the same number then don't worry about inflating numbers and take the two pounds lost for what it is. : )

    I have an engineer mentality so I will think about this incessantly, but thanks for trying =) Believe me I am not obsessing about weight any more, I am just wanting total accuracy to satisfy the scientific me any way I can get it. No worries.

    Anyway the two scales cannot be made to match, and the old one is definitely squirrely. I'll consider abandoning it after I am done with the challenges I am in for this month. I don't plan on doing any further challenges because I will be very near my goal weight by the end of the month and I am about to refocus on strength and conditioning to boot. After May I will just fly with the new scale readings.

    'Well, I weighed myself this morning and I finally broke that 130 barrier--I've been stuck there for about two weeks. Even though "check-in" is supposed to be tomorrow. I'm claining 129 for today! Besides, I get a little self-indulgent on Saturday nights...
