New Scale, New Weights

Alright, so i think my other scale finally crapped out cause it was giving my weight ranges from 276-309 lbs. I assumed something like this may happen to my other scale because when I bought it, the box said it can only accurately measure up to 300 lbs, but it was all i had. And initially it giving my a 315lb weight seemed weird since 1.5 years earlier I went to the doctor and weighed 345lbs and in that time frame i did not exercise and i ate fast food almost everyday. So i decided to test my scale and picked up a 25lb weight and it came back error. So i then picked up a 10lb weight and it read 323lbs which is only 8lbs higher so i was sceptical of the readings and it must be reading light. So i should of either been about the same weight, maybe a little less, maybe a little more of my weight from 1.5 years ago.

So, today I went out and bought a Brand New scale. The box for this one says that it can accurately measure weight up to 400 lbs, with a 0.2 lb accuracy. So again i tested this scale using the previous methods, taking multiple weights of myself, then with a 10lb weight, and then with a 25lb weight. Here are my results:

Body Weight 1: 329.0 lbs
Body Weight 2: 329.0 lbs
Body Weight + 10lb weight: 338.8 lbs
Body Weight + 25lb weight: 353.8 lbs
Body Weight 3: 329.0 lbs

So basically, my test confirmed the accuracy of the scale to being within 0.2 lbs and so, from now on all weight messurements will be done on the new scale. All my previous weights should be disregarded since they were on an innacurate scale. Contest with DVG90X should be updated to new value. I dont know if you want to use my 329.0 lbs as my new base value or if you want a fluffed number of 340 lbs which is what i would guess that I weighed prior to starting this program since i feel lighter already and can see differences in my stomach every morning in the mirror :).
