New Scale

I bought a new scale which is nice because every time I step on it, it says the same weight (my old scale had a range of at least 1 and up to 3 lbs when you step on it repeatedly) and it weighs in stones, which I like, and you don't have to tap it to turn it on BUT the new scale weighs me as 2 lbs higher than the old scale. I am tempted to go back and change all my old weights to 2 lbs more (not sure if that is possible). It isn't fair that I won't have any progress for a few days, possibly a week, just because of a new scale!

    I know what you mean, I had the same problem, and my doctors scale was 2 lbs heavier than mine, I bought a new digital scale and it agrees with my doctors and I know it is accurate, I went back to goals and changed my starting weight, the BAD NEWS that you were 2 lbs heavier than you thought and the GOOD NEWS is that you have lost 2 extra poulnd, LOL, I love my new scale and it is great to know that it is right on, it also gives tenth of a pound.

    ENJOY YOUR NEW SCALE.:flowerforyou:

    I bought a new scale and told my housemate that if it said I weighed more than my old one I was going to chuck it haha. Thank goodness it said the same cos its shiny and does body fat and all that good stuff.

    Mine did that too..at first, what kind did you buy? If I move my new one AT ALL, it changes my weight! I thought it was a really good one too..my old one always went up and down too when you moved it just alittle and thats why I bought a new one..I think i wasted my money..lol

    My new one is from eatsmart and it knows when you move it and re-calibrates itself.
