    Thanks everyone. I know... to some it seemed like a silly question. Appreciate the feedback. TO answer someone else's question... I had a small bottle of water as well.
    I know 2 pounds shouldn't make a difference.. we all have our things, I guess.
    Thanks again!!!

    I will go with home scale since it's most likely you will be using it for the most of weigth in days...

    What I would do is

    Go to sleep, when I wake up in the morning, go to the toilet and then weigh myself nekkid

    And that will be my starting weight

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS...always NEKKID! LOL

    What I would do is get a sample size of about 30 weigh ins... Then take the average of all and do a standard deviation to see on any given day what your top and bottom end would be.

    Step 1: Make another doctor appointment.
    Step 2: Smuggle home scale into waiting room.
    Step 3: After nurse says "doctor will be right with you," swap scales
    Step 4: Run

    It's people like you why health care is so expensive.

    I always weigh myself in the morning before consuming anything and after using the bathroom. That is the weight I log. I have weighed myself first thing in the morning and then a few hours later after drinking water and eating breakfast and weighed a couple pounds more. You have to be consistent. Weigh yourself tomorrow morning at home and go from there.

    Neither. Weigh yourself at home tomorrow after you get up and use the bathroom.

    I agree -- don't go by either. Start with a "fresh" weight first thing tomorrow morning.

    Yeah just use your home scale for consistency. I weighed as I normally do in the morning last Wednesday before I went to the Dr. When I did go to the Dr, (fasted except for some water so I could pee in the cup, yaknow?), I clocked in 1.7lbs higher on their scale, which makes sense as I was clothed(unders, shorts, shirt).

    I wouldn't overthink this.

    Lmao, yes, people who joke to lighten the mood are a scourge on health care! I'm guessing you were also joking...hopefully?

    I would continue to use the scale I'd been using, unless you're going to go into their office every week to weigh.

    I recently had a physical, too. The doctor's scale said more than my scale at home. I'm not worrying over that, though. For my own purposes, I continue going by my scale at home since that's what I've been using to track my progress.

    Plus, my doctor was thrilled to see that I'd lost 30 pounds since my last physical. She said that I'm the lightest I've been since 2007 when I'd gotten up to 271. So, I was too happy to worry about a few pounds difference between scales.

    I knew there was some drink washing down that taco. 2 lb meal, bam. Next question.
