So I weighed myself on my scale and I was the same, but I weighed myself on my scale and it said I weighed 2 pounds less. Which scale is right?

I would guess your scale is correct from reading your post. LOL!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... I am thinking you meant that you weighed yourself on two different scales even though that is not what it says????
If so, I would go with the weight of the scale that you normally use...

ALWAYS take the lower number! :)

Really tho... all scales can differ a bit. So it is best to weigh on one scale, same day, same time, same (or lack there of) clothes each week to get an over time accurate number.

However, our weight can flux so much from day to day, week to week... it is best to look at the average over time.
