A few days ago I went out and bought some digital scales. The reason being is that I currently use the old style scales and find it hard to see exactly where I am on the lbs. I know that as I get closer to my goal every lbs lost will count, I am also stepping on the scales every day at the moment (debate all in its self) and want to see clearly what my weight is doing..My first decision was what scales to buy. The last set I bought were good until they got transported from one house to another and then they broke... so I was prepared to spend about £20. I ended up buying a set of WW scales for just under £20. They look good and tell you your weight in stone, lbs, kg and include 1/4 of lbs etc which is good.
Now I know that a new pair of scales will tell you a different weight to your old ones and I was totally expecting to see a small gain (why is it it will never ever tell you a loss..??!!) so I stood on the scales nervously and then jumped off them in shock... the WW scales said I was 14 stone 8 3/4 lbs (204lbs)... I moved the scales around a bit from place to place to see if that would make a difference but no... Now I know that this just isn't right. I got on the scales at the gym and it said the same weight as my old scales from home. As much as I want to use the new scales I am not prepared to accept 8lbs just to use some fancy pants scales. I have worked to hard to just accept it... so now I am in a dilemma of what to do... a) I have wasted £20 b) I want to use digital scales c) it has cast doubt on my weight even though a heavy duty set has backed up my home scales.
Any advice out there? Anybody else have WW scales that show a totally different weight? BTW... interestingly my parents have WW scales at home and it always adds about 10lbs to my weight.
