Angry issues with my scale
I'm not sure if it's just trying to spare my feelings or if it's just afraid i'll kick its a** if I knew the truth, but the reality is that my bathroom scale is lying to me!

there is no two ways around it. I went in to the Dr.'s office today and granted i expected some fluctuation but that scale read 25 more pounds than my digital scale THIS MORNING: eek:

i know every scale is different, but 25lbs!! geez louise!

Unhappy Oh Lord
Holy sh*t, Rose...they have nice scales at Costco! (Oops, I forgot...you probably don't have Costcos in Dallas, huh?) Well, then...

They probably have nice scales at Sam's Club!

Sometimes the Dr's ofc scale will read heavier. I have heard many stories about it. Some think it is to make you appear heavier on your medical records pre operatively. All scales are evil in my opinion, I pretty much stay away from them and see how I feel in my clothes.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

I just bought a brand new scale from Costco and I weighed ten pounds more than the doctors office just the same morning. So my conclusion is not to rely on the scale for reassurance. Good luck!
