Does anyone's Doctor Scale actually take pounds off?

Because I'm convinced that my Doctor's scale always adds 5!
I think this is a conspiracy.

I agree! I don't let it bother me though because I figure I'm always going at the end of the day and that's got to add on a few ounces.

On the doc scale, you're probably wearing clothes and have ate/drank food. At home, you're probably undressed and have just slept all night and then used the restroom.

8oz of water weigh about a pound. Clothing can weigh 5lbs or more, depending on the size and thickness of material.

When I go to the doc, they'll weigh me, and instead of comparing the number to what I saw at home, I'll ask them what I weighed there the year before. If it's lower, I know I did good that year.

I'm right there with ya! When they weight me at the DR's office I always look away and tell them "I work too damn hard at this to be discouraged with the number on YOUR scale, so please don't tell me!" LOL! Really, I do that now!

I'm always 2-3 lbs heavier at the dr's for exactly the PP reasons: eating/drinking, clothing etc. But I love that every time I go (I have to go every 4 weeks....long story), I weigh less and the nurse never fails to make a supportive comment about it. So it may not be the same number as my home scale, but in their records I've lost the same amount!

Mine adds 10...no joke the Nurse told me...

Ugh. Hate that scale. Last month the doc scale read 8.5 pounds heavier than my own! Ok, so I know I already had a couple meals, liquids, etc and had clothes & shoes on...but wow! Hard to not go away totally dejected lol!

I agree. I went to the doc today. It added two. I work at a health center (mental) and weighed myself this morning. This afternoon I weighed and I was up two pounds. Its a conspiracy!! LOL

At all my prenatal visits I'd be 10 - 15 lbs heavier than m scale and after I had my baby it was still 5 - 10 lbs off. It is a killer for the selfesteem when you work so hard and see 10 lbs more than you thought you were, especially when I thought I was finally lighter than my husband and the Dr's scale said otherwise.

Re:

Yes, the Doctor Scale actually takes pounds off and it is not a big deal. I saw a lot of people happy with it. Getting superior papers reviews to learn about these scales can guide more people to follow the steps to find what they are looking.

if you can measure how many "defects" you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to "zero defects" as possible. Six Sigma
