Digital Scale vs. Old-School Scale??

NewCZNofLife

Interesting how my doctor's digital scale reading differs from the reading on the old-school scale that I have at home. I'm wearing the same clothes for both but the results are totally different. My doctor's digital scale says that I gained 1 lb. in three weeks but my old-school scale at home says I've lost 4 lbs. I really want to believe the scale at home only because I seem to have lost inches around my waist/abdomen. But I'm confused about the accuracy of both.

Does anyone have any wisdom about which one is more accurate??

I went to the doctor yesterday and their scale had me 2.5 lbs higher than my home scale. But I was also clothed and fed while my home weigh-in happens before I do those things each day. Different scale, different conditions, bound to be different weight. I only care about my home number since it's the one I look at 365 days a year as opposed to once a year.

Go by a single scale... If it's moving in the correct direction with regularity, you are good.
