Difference in scales?

Hey everyone,

Does any one see a difference in what different scales say? I weighed myself on my electronic scale earlier and it showed 200 lbs. But then I weighed myself at the gym, non-electronic scale, and it showed 195 lbs.

Anybody else encounter this difference with scales? Advice?

    yep, if the scale is not calibrated you can see differences. I stick to 1 scale, one we have calibrated.

    Yes! At the doctors office, its like a 3 pound difference from the scale at the gym.

    At the doctors office they use those really old ones...

    At the gym I jumped on two different scales, one regular and one electric and it was 3 pound difference :/ lol
