Stick with one scale or the other, or you're likely to raise your stress levels. If one scale is significantly newer than the other, use that one.
In addition, take some benchmark measurements. Women, more than men, shouldn't rely solely on the scale as a measure of progress on a diet. Your menstrual cycle will cause fluctuations in water retention over the course of a month, and hence, in your weight. Heck, even I weigh 1/2 a lb. more after taking a shower.
The fit of your clothes is another reliable indicator of changes in your body.
If you have a model that measures body fat, too, that measurement isn't as trustworthy, especially as one gets near the low 20's for women and the low teens for men. All BF measurement systems have a 3% margin of error, BTW.
