Scale issues

[karina33 23]

OK soooo is the scale rigged at the doctors office or what lol....everytime I go for a weigh in I weigh a few pounds less then I do at the scale at home....whats going on....im not sure which to follow....its a bit discouraging when I get on the scale at home and im 5 lbs heavier then the scale at my surgeons office....ughh I have a health ometer digital scale that I purchased at walmart...does this happen to anyone else....

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.

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>

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)
