Slight confusion...

I went to my docs to be weighed recently and the number was *51k which apparently equates to **.7 stones. (Sorry for the stars, I'm just not that comfortable saying my weight to everyone quite yet).

My original weight was *55k which is **.4 stones, giving a total loss according to my docs of 11lb, however my tracker only says 7... Where have a I gone wrong with my figures????

Are you using the site through your IPhone? I have noticed people saying numbers are not updating properly from the Iphone app...

You haven't gone wrong - different scale = different weight. I only track on one scale - the one in my bathroom. It's certainly not the most accurate scale, but weight loss is a relative thing, so if you keep your weigh-in environment the same, all that matters is that the number is going down. Just ignore the weights you get on other scales.

Plus, you may have weighed at a different time of day, which can make a difference. I'm a small person, and my weight can fluctuate even 4-5 lbs from day to night. That's almost 5% of my total weight gained in a day! But it's (usually) gone the next morning again.

Different units maybe? If you're measuring in grams and tracking in pounds. Are you in the U.S.?

Nope I'm in the UK and I always weigh in pounds and stone as its easier for me as there are 14lb in 1 stone...!

However the Doctors scales are in Kilos, and she converted them and I did think maybe she had it wrong but I've converted them again myself and it appears to be right, Im guessing my scales at home are a little off! Still I'll keep them as they are and go from them even though I'd rather see 11lb than 7....

Never mind!
