help...im confused!!
yesterday at the gym i weighed in at 59kg, today at work on the 'superduper,fantastic, know-it-all' scales i was 61kg, and not even 90 minutes later i had a doctors appointment where again i was weighed and would you believe 59kg came up!! 4.4lb is a huge difference when trying to get rid of it (and for 90 minutes i was sooo dissapointed in myself with such a weight gain!)
what do you think people....59 or 61 (or should i even go somewhere in the middle?)

Just pick a scale and go with it. They will all have some variance. Do make sure it's a good scale that will at least give you the same results 3 times in 60 seconds. I used to have one that I could weigh myself, get off, get right back on and be 5 pounds heavier.

Be consistent - go with whichever scale you will weigh yourself on regularly.

You should choose one scale to go by. I weighed myself at home this morning and was 200.4 and at the doctor's office was 194. I use my scale at home as my base and go by the difference on that scale only. every scale is different.

Just pick one scale and always use that one. Weight fluctuates daily - hourly, and no two scales are exactly the same. In fact you could move your scale into a different spot and it will give you a different number!! So, same scale, same time of day and this will give you some consistency. Otherwise you will go crazy!!
