Default New Scale....New Weigh In....what do I do?!

OK so I finally had to break down and buy a new scale. My old one was torturing me on a daily basis as it slowly died. So I broke down and bought a new one. I made sure it had great reviews and so on. Anyway, it weighs within .5 lb as my Moms scale, and within .5 lb of the doctors scale. BUT it happens to be about 4-5 lbs lower than my last one, which I have done all my weigh ins on. So.....I have obviously not lost those few lbs (though would be happy if that were the case) so how do I do that in my tickers and tracking and such?
So happy to have a scale that seems consistent, yet confused.

Adjust your ticker to the new weight, take it and run!



Anyhow, that's what I would do. After all, that new scale is now your "official" number. Enjoy!! At least it didn't go the other way!

Oooooh! I'm so jealous. I went to the doctor and was so bummed when the number was 5 pounds higher than the scale I had at home! Though on the brightside, that horribly high number motivated me to get going

Loved your post because I just bought a new scale as well. I agree with the previous poster....celebrate the lower number and enjoy!
