So, I have been working my butt off (literally) in the gym. There's two scales at the gym side by side. One is a mechanical one with the slides on top, and the other is a digital. Once a week I weigh myself on BOTH scales (just for personal torture) and I've noticed that I'm 4-6lbs heavier on the digital scale than the mechanical one. Every week my weight goes down by like 1-2lbs on the mechanical but on the digital, my weight never changes.... for example, last week on mechanical I was 217 and today I'm closer to 215, but the digital scale says 220. Also, I have a digital scale at home and today it said 217... which scale is right???

    It doesn't matter which scale is right.

    Pick one and use it every time you weigh. Preferably at around the same time of day in similar weight clothing.

    Even if there is a discrepancy between the two, using the same scale will accurately track your progress.
