Unhappy What to do...got new scale :-(

I don't know what to do! I have been frustrated with my scale since day one (I weigh every day); it gives a weight, then when you step off it doesn't quite go back to zero--and then gives a different weight when you re-set and get back on. I have been using that second weight, because it usually stays that way for several tries!

So....got a new scale, digital, yesterday (K-Mart had them on sale: $45 scale for $20!). When I got home and weighed everyone and noticed a #5 differene for each memeber of the family. So I was prepared for a higher weight this a.m.

My question now is this: is it OK to change my stats to reflect that I probably started out 5# heavier than what I thought? It's kind of depressing because I really wanted to hit <200 by "30 days on" and that's in a few days! I would have made it too, according to the old scale!

Thoughts?

TIA,

theresa
