Home vs Gym scale..

dexter888

At home I weigh less than I do at the gym (by about 1-2 pounds) should I go to the gym to do my weigh ins or use my home scale?

** I weigh in once a week in the morning before i eat or drink anything

I would go by the home scale since you can weigh yourself first thing in the morning. Besides public aren't accurate since you don't know when or if that have been calibrated.

Honestly, I don't think it really matters, but if you use one, stick to that scale. Don't weigh on both or you may get agitated with the results....your good scale you can calibrate so I say go with that. Not to mention, probably not a good ide to weigh in after akl tyat water consumption at the gym...

It doesn't really matter as long as you stick with one scale. I weigh one weight at my house, another at my mom's and yet another at my son's. I really weigh the same but all the scales say something different. If you want to monitor weight loss just pick one and stay with that for pounds lost.

Weight is a relative measure. Just use the same scale all the time and that is all you should go by.

I bought a good scale I can calibrate after being devastated to learn the gym scales were putting me at a stone (14lb) lighter than I really was making me feel as if all my hard work was undone. Even though I know it wasn't I felt like I'd put that stone on overnight, so very discouraging.
