I do not think I would worry too much about it. As you go through the day your weight can change. If you drink a bottle of water you just added a pound! If you wear a different pair of shoes it can change your weight. If you weighed 3 times in a day on one scale I think you would be surprised at the variations in weight. Now please go back to being as happy as you should be! :)

Not all scales read the same and Dr.s scales always read 4 to 5 pounds heavier then a persons true weight.
At least thats what my Dr. told me.
I'd just go by my own scales and just keep track of the pounds you lose and not worry about the number.
1 pound or 10 pounds is a loss no matter what.

I am so bad at weighing myself and need to quit.. I have not lost anything and I am working my butt off. I can gain up to 5 pounds a day and I know this is not true.. Don't live by the scale.. (I need to listen to this advice myself..)

scales are evil...the best thing that I could do was weight myself once a week at the same time..and no more than that.

Doctors scales do that to you. I had it happen to me to.
Just stay on track.
I was so excicted that I lost 8lb but when I go to the doctors office their scale I lost nothing.
But according to my scale I was losing, just that my scale was wrong.
Most home scales don't match those doctor scales, it a mystry to me. I think the Doctors do it on purpose.

PROBLEM.
