Bought a new scale over the weekend. Didn't really like the old one and wasn't sure it was accurate. So I got one fo those nifty digital scales that also measures BMI. Pretty cool, right? Hopped on and GASP!! It shows me as 6 lbs heavier than my old scale!!! So got back on the old one, and it's showing the same weight it did the other day, so I guess it's always been weighing me 6 lbs lighter than I really am. I guess I can still say I've lost 18 lbs, it just means I weighed 6 lbs more than I thought when I first started all this. No big deal, just adjust all my numbers, but for some reason I'm really disappointed.

The same thing happen to me last week at the drs office though I weigh myself every monday morning and when i got on the scale it said i had dropped 15 pounds that week i was soooo excited and then when i went to the drs that night and the nurse was like ok im going to weigh u now i got on all happy cuz i had lost my 15 in the 1st week

well when i got on there the scale read 5 pounds more then i my scale did i was so hurt

i know most the "15" pounds was water and all but i was sp happy and pround of myself but i have decided im going to keep going by my scale

Hey Aggie:

Don't get discouraged by the scale.
