    believe whichever scale you will be using to weigh yourself most often.

    Scales will vary, so choose the scale you use to weight on the most. Church scale if that is the one you will be weighing on for weekly weigh ins.

    Choose either scale, but don't use both on a regular basis, use only one of them regularly. It doesn't matter so much what your actual weight is at this point, what matters is tracking your loss. Either scale can give you that.

    Don't believe the scale- get a tape measure and check your neck, arms, bust, navel, hips, thighs, and calves every 2 weeks- you'll be suprised at the results- more accurate than the scales... otherwise get your own and forget the drs office, gym, church, ect....
