Which Weight Is The One You Count?

Do you count the weight you get when you weigh in at your fills, or the weight you have on your home scale? I haven't had my first fill yet, but I was weighed at my first visit post-op. I presume I'll be weighed again when I go in for my first fill.

I'll take the scale that wieghs me the skinniest!:thumbup:

I use my home scale that way its the same time of day each time. And I am not wearing anything! lol. I try to not to pay attention to the one at the doctor because I always weight more there.

I track the weight at home each Monday morning as well as the weight at the dr office. I change my tickers though, based off my home weight.

I go by the bathroom scale at home. It seems to be fairly accurate and I am slightly more at the doctors office. The reason I like the one at home is because I can track daily, first thing in the morning without clothing. I feel like it is more consistent that way.

I use the one in the clinic. Why? 1) I know that it is calibrated and tested regularly, 2) measures more than just my weight but also % body fat, etc, and 3) I don't own a scale:biggrin:. I vowed never to own an instrument of torture, and so no scales! As well, I could easily become addicted to weighing and threfore start measuring my worth by a number - a very unhealthy approach for me.

I only use my bathroom scales. I haven't been to the doctor in ...... 5 months so I wouldn't know what I weighed hehe.

They told me you're all filled up you call us we won't call you.... LOL jk but ya, I haven't needed a fill in a long time.. thankfully.

I record by my bath scale. It's pretty right on, and it's always on the same time of day.

It's always pretty close or similar to what my Dr.'s office scale says.

Mine is accurate to my doctors scale. Although I typically weigh a pound or two lighter when I weigh myself first thing in the morning as compared to when I typically see my doctor in the afternoon. But I have come straight home from fill appointments and checked and my scale always jives with his.

Not that there is ever a huge difference but in my mind I go by my weight first thing in the AM because that is always the better number.
