one scale told me I was 285 another told me I was 10lbs heavier. What could be causing this. Not sure how much I really weigh.

    The most important thing about weighing is consistency. Same time, place and bat channel!

    Yep. Time of day is a big one and also clothing/shoes. I always weigh myself right when I get up after my potty break and total nekkid (right be fore I jump in the shower). If I weigh any other time or with clothes on or after the shower (with wet hair) I weigh more. So I use the nekkid weight as my ground zero.

    Just pick a scale and always use it and believe it.

    One could be calibrated differently.

    The number doesn't matter. What matters is progress. Pick one scale and stick with it.

    I'd use the heavy one the first week, then switch to the light one.....;)
