PLEASE HELP!! NEW SCALES???!

So my other scales that I've been using for over a year began fluctuating massively the in the last few weeks so I think they were on their last legs... anyway, I got some new saltner body analyser scales yesterday and weighed this morning.... TO FIND OUT IM ALMOST A STONE HEAVIER THAN I THOUGHT

I can't describe how disappointed I am. I'm still a healthy weight by all means but I thought I was 9st 10lb and now I'm actually 10st 8lb which is a massive 13lb difference!!! I'm still so so happy to be in the 10's but this was a massive blow

Does this mean that my starting weight was actually a lot higher than I thought? (13st 9lb was actually 14st 7lb)
should I add 13lbs to my starting weight....?
OR have I been loosing less than I thought per week? How can I work out what I've actually lost?!

It depends when your scales started to play up. Have they been wrong all the time. No one will know.
I would pop along to Boots and weigh on their scales to see if your new ones are weighing right.

I don't know
I think my new ones are definitely correct because my husbands weight was pretty much bang on.....

A your husbands weight the same as it was on the previous scales? I would try not to worry until you've checked your weight on a different set of scales. Did you find one week you suddenly lost more? If not and you are sticking with your new scales I would take your start weight up by 13lbs xx

Thank you and no I didn't so maybe your right, I should maybe up my starting weight then... I suppose I should stop dwelling on it as it can't be changed huh....
