I would test the new scale with a dumbell to see how accurate it is????

I'm with Runningwithsteph. Check the old scale and the new scale. Odds are good, your new scale is the more accurate of the two. They can wear out, then HEY freebie pounds

no matter if the old scale is wrong, i do not want credit for losing lbs i did not lose.

what should i do?

Okay... I'm tired and trying to make this sound like it makes sense so please excuse me if it sounds incoherant.... I think if when you input your weight on here all you would need to do is add that 3.8 lbs that your new scale is missing to your weight.

Example: New scale reads 123.3 pounds that week, just add 3.8 and input on MFP 127 instead.

Does that make sense at all? ... maybe I should go to bed LOL
