I don't like my Dr.'s scale

Ok, I'm going to use my scale. Her scale say I'm 3# heavier and that was after losing 1# last week and 1# so far this week. to me it is more important to weight on one consistant scale and register the loss rather than the down to the oz. weight! Anyone else feel this way?

It is important to weigh on the same scale everytime, I agree. Sometimes different times of the day changes it also.

don't rely on the scale alone to know you are on your way...

I bought a scale a couple of months ago because I started on a weight loss plan from my doctor. I was too heavy for her scale. When I lose a little more we'll see about the comparison. But I would let her know what you weigh at home. I'm going to stick to my scale. I just weigh once a week, I couldn't handle anymore than that. It's been a hard adjustment bringing a scale into the house but I seem to be a little better with it the past week. Just tell the doc you weighed yourself at home and you don't want to weigh on her scale. That's what I do.

Right now..I don't like any scale.

But I agree with everyone above. One scale. Same time a day. And also, I know this from before when I had my big weight loss; don't rely on just pounds lost. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat so keep in mind how clothes fit on you. I weighed every day (still do) but I also, once a week, tried on a certain pair of blue jeans to see how they fit. That gave me a real good idea of how I was doing. Plus it gave me a goal. Once I fit into that certain pair of jeans, I picked another smaller one and that was my new goal.

One scale - definately. And only once a week if poss (nothing worse than jumping on and off 10 times a day and watching your weight go up and down!) - scales can be really different so it's not fair to deny you of weight you've lost!!
