When I go on my scale or my pcps scale my weight is the same both places, but when I go to my vsg dr I'm 6 lbs lighter! Should I subtract 6 lbs from home and pcp or just go by what mine says?

I have the same issue. I decided to go by my scale since that's the one I'm going to be using over the long-term, but really, it's whatever you want to do!

I agree, except my doctor's scale only has me about 1- 1 1/2 lbs lighter. I would *think* the doctor's office scale would be more accurate....?

I say purchase another scale. I had that problem, my scale was not calibrated properly and I wanted to make sure I had an accurate reading.

I find that most of my differences in weighing in at various places (doctor, surgeon, home) has to do with one of a few things - how much clothing I'm wearing, what type of clothing I'm wearing, and how much I've had to eat or drink in a given day. I use my home one for personal tracking and don't really worry one way or the other about what I'm being weighed at in different places.

Go with your home scale. This is the one that you will be weighing in on most of the time.

I had the same exact problem every morning I was 170.4 than it said I weighed 168 after I got on it again. My sister suggested I buy another and I got a Weight watchers scale says 169.5 I knew it was the darn scale.

My surgeon told us yesterday at group,he tells his patients throw away your scales and just wait to you come for your check up. You can go thru periods where you're not losing actually pounds,but are dropping inches,so it can be discouraging if you're not seeing pounds dropping

I might put them out of sight but keep them handy. Later on you will want to weigh yourself. I have my first month check tomorrow and I have not weighed myself yet. Bu after tomorrow I will weigh once a week.

I have a Weight Watchers scale and I love it. I weigh myself every Tuesday morning before and after my workout. Both the dr's scale and the WW scale have had the same weight. They take off 2 lbs because of clothes.
