The Scale Hates Me

So I had a tragic moment last week. I had been living with my parent's and had been using my mom's ancient scale, really, I think she's had it since I was born. I don't know why I trusted it but I didn't have a choice, it's all I had. So i finally went out and bought a new scale for our new home, a digital one.... oooooh. I step on it and got a rude awakening!! my mom's scale was at least 7-9 pounds off!!! So after stepping onto this scale thinking I was 147 and then realizing i was 155 felt like I had gained it all in one day. It really sucked. Though this scale is giving me a hard time because I'm already down to 152 and haven't done anything. So don't be fooled if you see me losing weight, i'm probably not I just can't find a scale that works right!!! Thanks for the motivation too, I hope to join a gym or get some work out vidoes soon!!
