Your scale or only the Dr.'s scale?

[SkinnyDown 409]

I'm curious if people are using their own scales for their weigh-ins, or if they are only going by what the scale says at the clinic when you have "official" weigh-ins?

My scale says the same thing it does at the Dr.'s office. I've checked it a few times.

If that is the case, I just lost another 9 lbs! that's 19 lbs in two weeks.

I'm not always going to have the Dr. office to weigh me. I guess I'm just going to start using my own scale.

What do you do?

I weigh two times per week using my own scale, I weigh the exact time of day, wearing the exact same thing.

I weigh once per week at home.

As requested by my surgeon, I weigh every morning immediately after getting up and then write it in my food journal. It is nice because then I can see things like that drinking a cup of bouillon makes me go up at least a lb the next day

Thanks for the responses!

I think I should do a weekly weigh in at home based on all I have read.

Just out of curiosity of course, I got back on the scale today, and I'm down 2 more lbs!!!! My Dr. told me I'd be losing a lb or more a day, I guess he wasn't kidding. I'm just staring at the scale in disbelief. But I can't deny not only the numbers, but how loose clothes are getting already on my body. The best test is the underwear test, for me. If they are sagging, you know you're losing. LOL

Thanks again for all the responses!
