Agreed, it's less about the actual figures and more about the trend going down.
Recently I've switched scales because my old (expensive!) scales were weighing me in differently everytime I stepped on them, normally i step on 3 times to make sure the reading is accurate, and it was showing up to a 8lb difference each time (sure I can't put on 8lb in 30 seconds?)! So I'm now using my sisters which weighs me in 7lbs heavier then my old ones when it worked.
Now it was a struggle to not feel like this was setting me back but I had to remember that I actually physically have not put this weight on and does not mean that I have lost less weight. Personally I have kept my "goal weight" very flexible and try to focus more on how my body feels rather then fixating on a number. So i'm still using my sisters scales and they're still moving down and i'm still proud of my success,
