Monday I bought some new digital bathroom scales.  My old ones were 30yrs old and still working, but I can't read the dial on it anymore.  I know I am short sighted and I do wear glasses for distance stuff but trying to see the numbers down at my feet on a small dial was too much of a pain in the @$$.

So a new set of scales (why is it plural????) was in order.  The screen is large enough to read minus the eyewear.  It can store the readings for up to 12 people - not that there is that many in our house.  It's supposed to also calculate hydration and fat percentages, but I think I need to read how to get those figures on screen 'cause it doesn't do it automatically.

So anyway, going from 1 old set of scales to a new set of scales I have gained .4kg.  Now I have a dilemma.  Do I believe the gain or do I ignore it?  I'm heading towards ignore it and not because it is a gain and no one wants to hear those words or see that happen when you are trying to get off weight.  Reason being I believe you should only use the same scales, the same time of day, the same clothes when trying to get an accurate indication of any loss/(gulp)gain.  I've heard that it is not good to use different ones as each set will come up with a slightly different figure.

What do you think?
