Question/Rant of the day

Why can't one doctors scale agree with another.  Not looking at 3 or 4 lbs.  but 8.5.   Why can't I just weigh myself at home, tell them, and cut out all this drama BS.   LOL      My rant of the day.

Hi John! How is everything going? How did Thanks Giving turn out for you?

I just focus on my Surgeons scale, no one elses scale matters to me. Then I immediately weigh myself at home afterward so I can see what the difference is from one scale is to the other. My scale  at home weighs me being 5 pounds lighter. So when I do go in, I know what to anticipate.

I just brushed off the dr. scale.  I focused on my scale, once a week, first thing in the morning, with no clothes on, after using the bathroom.  I think weight is affected by what you eat and drink during the day.  To me, first thing in the morning is most accurate.

Because scales are an invention of Satan.

i have a scale that i can use now at home that was given to me by a friend. it reflects differently than the one at the doctor's office. the one i pay attention too closely is the doctor's scale. the one i have at home is to ballpark my progress, but i don't weigh myself every day either. if i start doing that, i'll start obsessing over numbers instead of progress (like dropping pants sizes).

My Doc, Surgeon and at the cardio center today are all within a couple.  Now they can be 8 different if I go one to one at different times and cloths.  But, if I go from each to home to check to mine at the same time with the same cloths and shoes.  They are all three within 2 pounds of mine.
