The difference in weight on different scales

The best thing to do is use the same scale each time. same clothes etc

it is annoying, my scales read different and randomly change from lb to kg lol! but i think as long as you use the same set of scales for each of your weigh in, you should see a general decrease, and you will still know you have lost weight x

go with the one you have easiest access to when you want to weigh... or go with the heaviest if you don't believe you could be 128lbs yet.

I have four sets of scales and get different weights on each up to stone difference between the old bathroom scales and the salter body fat scales... the kg scales and wii balance board are usually round about the same as the old bathroom scales so i can double check with those if getting erratic numbers and error messages on the old ones (they're the easiest to read without glasses or putting all lights on.. when just got out of bed!)

If I weigh on body fat scales at night.. I get similar numbers and a smaller difference to the old bathroom scales in the morning.. its weird! .. and get much bigger range of numbers on those depending whether feet are dry or wet and whether you just been in shower etc. .. they were the most expensive and supposed to be the most accurate!

if i were you i would stick to one set of scales and use those
i only ever use my home digital salter scales

Are you seriously worrying about whether you weigh 128 or 131 pounds? Then yes, obsessing much.

Stick to one scale and try weighing yourself first thing in the morning before you eat - with the same clothes on or nothing on at all.

Same scale, same time, same clothes. It will help you keep your sanity.

I'm in a weight loss challenge and I know that the scales I weigh in on at the facility are 5lbs heavier than mine.

ITA! I have found as much as 5-6 lbs in different scales. You will go crazy if you try to sync them all up.

One scale, same time, same clothes, also keep it on the same spot on the floor(level), I notice if it is dfferent areas it can fluctuate.

I may not have a big # to lose, but Yes, it's important to me to be accurate. I didn't think it was a huge deal, I just like accuracy and wanted opinions.

Don't ask for my opinion if you don't want it. You asked if we thought that you were obsessing and I said yes. That is a kilo and a half. When you are at the plus or minus kilo level, you are not wondering about if you are going to die of congestive heart failure or complications resulting from type 2 diabetes. You are wondering if you will fit into the board shorts you saw your friend buy.

Obsessing.

My old bathroom scales broke over the weekend - I just know I don't weigh 4 stone !!!
So I bought some new (digital scales), up to this morning they had me 4 lbs heavier but this morning they have me at the same weight I weighed in on my old scales a week ago (200lbs)

I am willing to accept that but I think my poor old bathroom scales would've been kinder to me

Stick to one scale where possible

I'm trying to move more, feel better and look better just like everyone else.



The pounds don't matter, if you mean what you say. Your scale is how you feel and how you look, not a kilo or two. Do you enjoy that 5k or is it a drag? Do you love riding your bike to the shops or do you wish that someone else had bought the milk?
