I am usually 5-7 pounds heavier. I suspect it's because, like a lot of the other ladies, I weigh myself first thing in the morning with an empty stomach and bladder. It's so hard not tell the nurse "I was lighter at home this morning, I swear!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-same-weight-at-the-doctor-as-you-are-on-your-scale-at-home#post-1212973 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:56:03 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1212973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm the odd man out but I always weigh 1-2 pounds LESS on the doctors scale. Anyone want a recommendation? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-same-weight-at-the-doctor-as-you-are-on-your-scale-at-home#post-1212880 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:29:00 +0000 Glitter 1212880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so happy I'm not alone in this! My doc's scale always shows me about 7 lbs heavier. I blame it on the fact that at home I weigh first thing after morning pee, naked, before eating while at the doctor I've usually just downed a huge late lunch and got my work suit or something heavy on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-same-weight-at-the-doctor-as-you-are-on-your-scale-at-home#post-1212866 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:23:36 +0000 Mae 1212866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I'm like 5-6 lbs heavier on the scale at the doc's office. But at home I always weight myself first thing in the morning with little to no clothes on. At the doc's office it is usually afternoon so I have had breakfast + lunch + 2-3 glasses of water, and I'm always wearing jeans. It's annoying but I go by my scale at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-same-weight-at-the-doctor-as-you-are-on-your-scale-at-home#post-1212854 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:20:30 +0000 mrsjyw 1212854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never, always at least 3-5 lbs heavier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-same-weight-at-the-doctor-as-you-are-on-your-scale-at-home#post-1212851 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 09:19:42 +0000 CottonCandy 1212851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm always at least 3 to 5 lbs. heavier.
