A Weighty Question

Ok folks I need some input on this.  When I update my ticker I use the official weight I receive when I go to the Dr's or to one of my monthly classes.  My scale weighs me 1.5lbs heavier than the class scale.  When I weighed myself this morning it shows me at 234 which means if I got weighed in at class it would be 232.5 (which means I dropped 5.5lbs since August 4th!)  My question is this.  Do you all go by official weigh-in's when you update your ticker or do you do your personal scale too?

I update by my personal scale since I only go to Barix every 3 months and they're very close - maybe 1/2 lb difference. And I also include the weight I lost BEFORE I had the surgery - every pound counts!!

Hi Diane,
I have not updated my weight in a while because of a stall, BUT, I do not own a personal scale I trust, so I update with a doctor' scale, either at my doctor, or the school nurse.  I trust them more than a home scale.

It is a matter of personal preference.

Hugs,

Whatever you want Diane!!

I use my personal scale only because I only see my surgeon every 3 mos at this point, and that will stop in October.  And I don't go to my primary doctors office.  And, not for nothing, I like my scale better cause I weigh myself first thing in the morning, after going potty, with nothing to eat or drink in me and of course in my birthday suit!  lol.  I know that's a mental picture you all wanted!!

Do whatever you are more happy with!

I use my personal scale.. bad me..haven't been to the dr for a follow up in 2 years.. life just kind of caught me up, and I haven't found a dr up here yet. My previous surgeon is now 4-5 hrs from me!

But.. my scale is electronic.. one of the Best Loser ones..and it's pretty darned good.

I never go to Barix anymore so I use my home scale or my Wii Fit to get my numbers.

I use my personal scale.

I want to thank everyone for all their imput.  I used my personal scale and updated my ticker.
