Question about scales?

I went to the doctor's last week and got weighed. I was 8 lbs heavier on their scale. I was wearing clothes, but there is no way my clothes weigh 8 lbs. I have lost weight since starting. Maybe my scale is off or maybe their old school scale.

I totally understand your frustration! This happens all the time. Don't get discouraged; just keep weighing yourself on the same scale to gauge your success.

the most important thing is the beautiful smile in your pic
the number on the scale is a frustrating animal most of the time
if you must weigh yourself (I dont anymore) then use the same scale at the same time with the same birthday suit
keep smiling0 -
Is it less than the last time you weighed there?
The most accurate weight will be first thing in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating.0 -
When do you suppose they last calibrated their scale? I would say most Dr. offices do not calibrate them nearly enough with all of the people hopping on and off them day in and day out. I used to weigh in at WW and had a lot of Dr. appointments and it was ALWAYS at least 5 pounds off at the Dr. I trusted the WW scales because I weighed on them weekly. Make sure you calibrate yours at home, too, though! As long as you do that and it's on a flat, level surface you've got nothing to worry about. Oh, and always weigh in the morning, after you've used the potty and totally nekkid. :blushing:0

I ALWAYS weigh a lot more than what my scale says at home when I'm at the Dr.
But then again, my appointment is usually in the afternoon, I'm not naked and I usually haven't gone to the bathroom.
I wouldn't weigh too much into it. :laugh: :laugh:0
