Scales At My Primary Drs Office

[Boniluuu 25]

I went to my primary Drs office. Their scales showed I lost 32 lbs. It is a manual scale. The scale at True Results said I lost 22 lbs. That scale is digital. My primary Dr says they get their scales calibrated regularly. I wonder which one is right?

I would just pick one and go with it. My WLS office has me 10lbs over what I am at home, but since I weigh myself at home more, they told me to go by that one. So whatever one you use the most, go with that.

Buy your own scale and buy a good one. Then you won't have to compare or guess.

I agree with 2muchfun..buy your own scale. But invest in a good one and use that as your true weight. You will weigh closer to the WLS scale or your primary DR's scale so you will know which is your true weight.

when i was leader at TOPS, i had everyone bring in their home scale. i had each person weigh on the different scales to show how different and how fickle scales are. (weight was up and weight were down). scales are hard on someone trying to lose weight.

like the posters said, get one scale and go by those numbers.

EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5" Display and "Step-On" Technology is a very accurate scale. I know others have also purchased this scale. My scale is smack dab between my PCP and WLS; admittedly only one pound. 10 pounds is a big difference.

You want to go by the scale that is calibrated regularly. If you buy your own scale are you going to have it calibrated every 3 months?

I would use a gym scale.< /p>
