Scales :(

HI
I bought some weight watcher scales today to exchange them for my old digital ones but when I stand on them side by side the new ones weigh 1 lb heavier than the old ones! I have been using the old ones since I started here but want to use the new ones now because I'm going to start weights this week and they measure your body fat ratio as well. What shall I do? Shall I take the average for this week?

    Im getting these very scales today. Take todays weight, start afresh and think nothing of it, for me the most important thing is fat % - its disheartening though, my gym scales show a difference of 5lb to mine!

    I know what you mean. I just started using a new digital scale yesterday and i weighed in the AM at 154 ( been using this scale forever) and the new one said 158! I am not happy with that at all.

    My new scales said I was 5 pounds heavier than my old ones. I just reset my weight on here since I am using the new ones now.

    I dont want to reset my weight because then it will show a gain. I was going to just wait till the new scale reflects less than my current weight posted and then go from there.
