LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted May 23, 2014 Always go by the scale at your Dr's office, that's the scale that matters for all official matters. That said it wouldn't be a bad idea to sample other scales immediately after going to your Dr's office to one that is as close as possible. That way you feel more confident with it. I have a Taylor scale and I got it from Target for about 25 bucks I think. It's always pretty close to what I weigh in at my surgeons office. 1 karina33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowalking 10,790 Posted May 23, 2014 Better still karina...don't focus on the numbers. Focus on the NSVs. They are infinitely more satisfying than a number on a scale.< /p> 2 Cindi2014 and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendydarling19 310 Posted May 23, 2014 I had a problem with my scale where it would tell me a different weight within a few lbs every time I got on it. I thought it was just cheap! My sister then told me it was because every time I used it I was moving it. I now keep it in one spot and don't have any problems. My drs scale always weighs me at 3 lbs more but that would be the same as if I weighed at home with clothes (which I don't) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
