Just have to vent...

So I bought a new scale over the weekend - a much better one than the one I already had - high ratings, more accurate and consistant. And I'm really happy with the scale's perfomance so far.
BUT, I'm 3 pounds heavier on the new scale! Ahhhhh! Sooooo frustrating! I'm going by that weight now since the scale is more accurate. But it's still frustrating- like I've taken two steps back. I was at my 30-pound mark before the scale...now I'm at my 27-pound mark. :ohwell:
And the most ironic part? This was my fear, haha. That I would get a new, really awesome scale only to find out that I was heavier than I thought! :grumble:

Ok, that was my little vent. If you read this whole thing, thanks for listening! :smile:

    That must be frustrating...but you will do it! You will get to your 30 pound mark and when you do you will know its for sure!

    Thanks for the encouragement! It really helped! And I didn't even think of the fact that had I been using the new scale when I started, I would have been 3 pounds heavier. Thus, I've still lost 30 pounds! I just changed my "starting weight" on MFP so the numbers correspond as if I'd had the new scale when I started. Love seeing that "30" back up there! :happy:
