It boggles my mind but its true.. one was an electronic one and gave me 138, the other an old fashion one which gave me 127... which is it? Lol.

    It happens, rarely do you find 2 different types of scales that weigh the same. Choose one scale and go by it.

    Go with the one that gives you the better numbers! :bigsmile: But seriously as MysticRealm said - pick one scale and use just that one. Also your weight will naturally fluctuate so if you weighed at different times you can get different results also.

    Although I agree that 2 scales would rarely give you the same number, I think that's a big jump. I would try to see which one was accurate by weighing a kettle bell or something.

    Good idea. Thanks!
