So! I had a discussion last evening with a close friend. He wants to motivate each other to lose weight. He about 20# and me #28
So I get on the scales (digital) this morning ( I have two different scales) and get four different readings!
What the heck? Now what do I do? :) Not gonna spend hundreds on a hospital scale. Maybe I'll just steal in and borrow one each week lol

    Scales fluctuate but have an accuracy between +- 2 pounds. Make sure you step on the same spot, don't move until it's done and take the first weight it says.

    Analog scales have greater inaccuracies than digital, but ok have fun.

    An analogue scale is going to have a higher degree of inaccuracy than a digital.
