LOL

If I have more issues on the next weigh in though, for the different numbers, thinking about taking this one back and getting a another one. I need something accurate, not guessing....

Maybe we should keep two stats. One of them should be for carpet weight:-)

I love that idea!!

I'm looking forward to my new scale. It's not a super expensive one, but definitely a couple steps up from the one I have (which was super cheap). I'm just hoping it doesn't tell me I weigh 10lb more than I think I do.

I would hate that! You are recording from one scale and get a new one and it has a different number. That would drive me crazy! I hope it doesn't for you:-)
