Well, I have 2 scales in my house. One reads: 187.3 and i was super excited!!! I passed my goal before it's deadline!! Well, I went to show my cousin and I went on a different scale. It read: 191.2 I was so sad. I wasn't sure if I had gained that weight in a day or if it was the scake, after weighing myself on each scale twice, there was about a 4 lbs different. Should I go with the scale that reads 187 or 191? Thanks :)

    every scale is different (crazy i know) so you just need to pick one and go with that. you could also try testing them out by taking something that you know weighs a certain amount, like a 10lb weight, a see what the scales say.
