So my scale at home in my bathroom on tile floor, and my wii both weigh me about the same, but the medical scale at the gym says im 14 lbs heavier. If it was only a few pounds different i wouldnt mind, but 14 lbs?! Any suggestions, or any input ?
Doesn't matter. You are tracking the CHANGE in weight. You could start a wonky scale that 50 lbs off, but the point is that it is moving on down.
Just pick one of all those to be the official one, and go with that.
Shoot, my scale at my house weighs different upstairs than it does downstairs! So just pick the time, scale, spot and do it the same each time and be patient.
I'm with the others, sounds like a problem with clothes. I'm assuming more clothes at the gym. But unless you're working out in furs 14 lbs is still a lot. So 1 of those scales is wrong. My advice is to pick 1 scale and go by that number. My scale is so sucky that I have to make sure it's in the exact same spot or I get a different number!
Thanks everyone for the replies. I weighed my self in at the gym an hour after i did at home, tank top, sports bra, shorts, and shoes. I didnt eat in between the weighins either. Id have to say youre right though. Thats exactly why i get un motivated, i focus on the scale rather than the difference i feel. So thank you to the ladies who checked me right there.
I try not to weigh on any scale but mine...although I do weigh on my Mom's occasionally but only because it's the exact same make and model scale. But as everyone else has said ...as long as the weight is going down...
I would suggest not even focusing on the difference in weight. Although weight loss is a good data point over time lets face it that isn't why any of us are doing this. We want to look and feel good.
