    I work at on OB/GYN and unfortunately our scales our typically correct, we have to calibrate them. I tell my patients that they have to remember that when they weigh at home it is probably first thing in the morning and they are probably naked, LOL. Usually it is only a 3-4 pound difference which def could be the difference in clothes vs no clothes. Ladies no worries, go by how your clothes fit and not so much by what the scales say...I myself get very discouraged. I personally don't own a scale at home, because I know I would be a crazy women about weighing every single day, and that would lead to me getting more and more discouraged. So I limit myself to weighing once per week at our office in the same scrubs.....Good luck to all of you!!:happy:

    Make sure your scale is on a firm level surface and that you are standing straight with your weight evenly distributed. You can see how much the readout varies if you rock side to side, so you can imagine how easy it is for it to vary 3 pounds.
