So I have been using a scale at my moms when I visit. From looking at that one I have seen a lot of progress! I just bought a scale for myself, and it says I am 7 pounds MORE than the scale I started using. :( Bummer mood. I thought I was doing so well! (To put a cherry on top, its that time of the month, which brings my mood down even easier. ) ugh.

    It could just be water weight. Your body retains salt/water when its that special tom. Try again in a week :) you are bound to see progress!

    All scales weigh differently. I weigh about 3 pounds less at my doctor's office than I do on my scale. I just go by my scale at home to keep track of the loss. Keep track on your new scale...I'm sure you'll see progress.

    This is what I was going to say. It could just be the difference between scales. Try your best to always use the same scale.

    Hi Honey! Use the same scale and weigh at the same time...me - morning - completely naked! :) But don't rely on the scale...go by how your clothes feel. Lift weights - heavy weight - and build lean muscle to replace fat - plus muscle speeds up your metabolism! HUGS!

    Don't sweat it. Could most definetly be the difference between scales. Keep doing your thing.

    I use a Digital Salter scale, and I check accuracy by putting a 6kg Kettlebell on it regularly. That works well enough for me.
