Hi peeps,

I'm wondering how everyone checks their weight? I've used the scale at rite aid and it's off about 20- 25 pounds(less) from the scale on my doctors office.

I try not to focus on the number as much as how I feel, but I like checking at least monthly and right now I'm only seeing my Dr every 3 months; any suggestions?

Thanks

I just use a regular bathroom scale. If you need something with a little higher capacity, I've seen 400 pound scales going for about $150.

You could see if your PCP minds you stopping in to check your weight.

They usually have good scales at reputable gyms, medical weight loss centers...even the YMCA.

Best wishes:)

There’s definitely variance between the scale at my primary’s office, the scale at the surgeon, and the scale at the dietitian. The latter two use those platform scales, my primary uses a smaller, bathroom-style one. Further complicating matters is the fact that primary takes off 2-3 pounds for clothing weight, depending on the season, and the others do not.

At home I use the Fitbit Alta, which I like because it uploads the data to my Fitbit app.

Hi,

Do you find your bathroom scale aligns with your Dr scale? I don't mind purchasing one for home, would just hate for it to say 200 and when I visit my Dr it says 220 [emoji20]

Thanks maybe it's time I bite the bullet and purchase a fitbit
