Which scale should I listen to?

The doctor's office scale is going to be more accurate. One thing you can do next time you visit the doctor is to come home and adjust your home scale immediately wearing the same amount of clothes.

Which weight is accurate isn't that important unless it is needed to calculate the dosage of some medication. Otherwise, you want to focus on other indicates of health and fitness and notice any weight changes based on the scale you are using.

At the doctor's office, were you wearing shoes and ordinary clothing? At home, were you wearing nothing? How about your meals? At home, are your bowels and bladder empty? Do you weigh yourself before breakfast?

Well, take a close look at your bathroom scale. Make sure the needle is on zero before you get on (there's probably a little wheel in the back to make adjustments). You could also experiment with moving your scale around to make sure it's on a firm, even surface, not on carpet or bumpy tile.

I always weigh three to five pounds more at the doctor's office, where there's a digital scale, but it's mainly because of what I'm wearing and how recently I've eaten.

Your scale, because 132 was months ago.

The doctors scale has to be calibrated regularly, so I would trust that scale more.

Scales can vary, even by how flat the surface is. Doctors surgeries probably have better scales than normal and by my own experience flat concrete floors.

move your own scale about and see if you get any variation. mine just moving it slightly I can easily get a 5lb difference.

Either could be, but I'd wager the doctor's is more accurate.

well obviously

you did lose weight.

Have you zeroed your scale in the past 15 years? Do you even know what that means and how to do it? If not, trust the doctor.

Your doctor's office probably checks their scale for accuracy on a regular basis.

Your scale at home probably has less accuracy and hasn't been calibrated since it was at the factory it was manufactured at, not to mention it wasn't built to be as accurate as the one at the doctor's office in the first place.

The doctor's scale is bound to be more accurate.
